The Oak Tree
Emily Hearn

Kickin' the dust up, I'm wearin' 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 treadin' water,

I'm tryna 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

When we just 18 under the Oak tree

safer than we'd ever been

hold onto innocence

Where has the time gone, I'm feelin' old and gray

Tryna breathe revival into my broken ways

I'm old enough to leave home,

but way too young to carry all the blame

I'm treadin' water,

I'm tryna 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

When we were just 18 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 feelin' that time, keeps slipping away

The child in me is kickin', don't let a moment pass

Cuz 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 treadin' water,

I'm tryna keep my head above the ground

I'm treadin' water,

I'm tryna keep time from runnin' out

So would you come with me up to the Oak tree

time will stop for us again

look back remember when

When we were just 18 under the Oak tree

safer than we'd ever been

hold onto innocence

We were young, oh we were young, and we had time

Oh to be young, oh to be young, and to have time
