The Oak Tree Lyrics - Hourglass - Emily Hearn

Kicking dust up, I'm wearing out my shoes 

I can't make my mind up; I've got too much to lose 

I'm old enough to leave home 

But way too young to know what I should do 

I'm treading water 

I'm trying to keep my head above the ground 

So would you come with me up to the oak tree? 

Time will stop for us again 

Look back, remember when 

Yeah, we were just eighteen, under the oak tree 

Safer than we'd ever been 

Hold on to innocence 

Where has the time gone? I'm feeling old and gray 

Trying to breathe revival into my broken ways 

I'm old enough to leave home 

But way too young to carry all the blame 

I'm treading water 

I'm trying to keep my head above the ground 

So would you come with me up to the oak tree? 

Time will stop for us again 

Look back, remember when 

Yeah, we were just eighteen, under the oak tree 

Safer than we'd ever been 

Hold on to innocence 

We were young, oh, we were young 

And we had time 

How I hate the feeling that time 

It keeps slipping away 

The child in me is kicking; don't let a moment pass 

'Cause I can't bear to witness my parents age so fast 

They're way too young to fly home 

And I can't stand to watch the hourglass 

I'm treading water 

I'm trying to keep my head above the ground 

I'm treading water 

I'm trying to keep time from running out 

So would you come with me up to the oak tree? 

Time will stop for us again 

Look back, remember when 

Yeah, we were just eighteen, under the oak tree 

Safer than we'd ever been 

Hold on to innocence 

We were young, oh, we were young 

And we had time 

To be young, oh, to be young 

And to have time
