You were once a pine tree in the woods
You were once a hundred meters tall
Back before the world had anyone
You'd just sit and watch it all
Now it's different, now you fall
Though words are still unsaid
And I have got to break you off
And I'd rather do a hundred things instead
But I've lived enough to know when something ends
I was once a moon of someone else
I would always orbit where he went
Back before I ever had been held
Back before I knew what holding meant
Now you kiss me, it's not the same
As kissing used to be
And in your sleep you say my name
And I know that that's supposed to mean something
So why are these the words I wanna sing?
Living's boundless, living ends
Living must begin again
Like a tree that's always grown
Like a headlight that is going home
Mmm
