Lyrics
Didn’t we cause a stir
In our suburbia?
I’ve never seen so many eyes
Open up in their surprise
They couldn’t see what I could
I can feel the sand
Running through my hands
We didn’t build our castle strong
Another wave will see it gone
We didn’t do all we could
I am a growing tree
I am a bird
I can’t fly away
I can’t stay
I am a growing tree
I am a bird
You can’t fly across the sea
You can’t stay here with me
You really love to paint
You got the patience of a saint
You have to reach inside the soul
Cos you can’t paint who you don’t know
And you could see right through me
Nothing was ever planned
Nothing was underhand
I could peel back your disguise
Saw you cry within your eyes
And I can feel how you feel
I am a growing tree
I am a bird
I can’t fly away
I can’t stay
I am a growing tree
I am a bird
You can’t fly across the sea
You can’t stay here with me
