Our Trees
Tegan and Sara

There's mass confusion in the forest
I heard about it on the radio
So they're bringing in some guy
And he's gonna go on, and on about all the things that he don't know

And there's some girl in the background
She's screaming something about missing trees
And I'm wondering
where did they go?

No lines on the highway
No passing they say
No green to my left
And no green to my right

And the man behind the axe always gets a full meal
'Cause green never puts up much of a fight

So here's some helpful hints some breath assured pints
Full of beautiful grace and we steal their space
And death comes quickly
So I pull up to my double car garage hideaway
And I start to say

Where did all the trees go?
Doesn't anyone know?
Where did all the trees...
They went across the street to grow

Where did all the lights come from?
They say you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all
Yes, I'm glad I don't know it all

If the trees could be lions
Would they still fall and be tagged?
Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged?
If the trees had a mother and a father like mine
Would they stand up say praise the trees?
The trees will be fine

So, wake me up from this dream
And tell me things aren't as bad as they seem
And tell me is it so not cool to say
Who will save the trees?
Will it be me?

Where did all the trees go?
Doesn't anyone know?
Yeah
Where did all the trees go?
They went across the street to grow
Yeah

Where did all the lights come from?
They say you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all

Where did all my trees go
Doesn't anyone know?
Yeah
Where did all the trees go?
They went across the street to grow
Yeah

Where did all the lights come from?
They say you're big before you're small
I'm sure glad I don't know it all
Yes, I'm glad I don't know it all

And there's mass confusion in the forest
I heard all about it on the radio
And they're bringing in some guy and he's gonna go on, and on, and on about all the things that he don't know

They'll be some girl in the background
And she's screaming something about missing trees
And I'm wondering
Where did they go?
(Where did they go? Where did they go?)
