Lyrics Wild Child – Living Tree

Run around the living tree
With my lover standing at my feet
The branches mean so much to me
But the leaves taste oh so sweet

Run around the living tree
I have become what you made of me
Can root me down or set me free
But I’m not what you should be

Can’t remember last I saw you
Walk through that door
Can’t remember how we got
This blood on the floor
Oh baby, thinking I would let you
Try and settle the score
But it might hurt me now
I didn’t feel before

Think I lost my mind and spirits
Head full of stone
I swear I got home late last night
And you weren’t alone
Oh baby, thinking all the lies I used
To build myself on
It’s nights like these that tear
The stitches that I’d sewn

Run around the living tree
With my lover standing at my feet
These branches mean so much to me
But the leaves taste oh so sweet

Run around the living tree
I have become what you made of me

Spent my nights so bored and restless
No reason why
Seems I let my youth untie
You left her out dry
Oh darling, maybe you can hold me down
While I can’t scream and cry
But now that freedom that I stole into
Goodbye

While my eyes start rolling back
My head hits the floor
Know that I can’t try to see
Your face anymore
Oh darling, thinking if the clock turned back
Please, I’d be at your door
But now it’s done, my lesson learned
So ends the war

Run around the living tree
With my lover standing at my feet
These branches mean so much to me
But the leaves taste oh so sweet

Run around the living tree
I have become what you made of me
Can root me down or set me free
But I’m not what you should be

Run around the living tree
With my lover standing at my feet
Can root me down or set me free
But I’m not what you should be
