I just want time in a tree

I need a place just for me

Somewhere that I can be freeKeep the faith and just be

What you′ll be

I guess rules are there to break

But I make mistakes like they were handed on a plate

When I try to leave sometimes, I'm standing in the way

I′m on the edge of crying all the time, 'cause I can't human right

What a state

I get wound up, from the ground up

And I don′t know why

Turn the sound up, drown the noise out

Swallow, don′t cry

Got an anxious heart, and it's stone made

Can′t take paper or heartbreak

Did Billy Joel have self esteem?

Maybe Vienna wouldn't wait for me

I just want time in a tree

I need a place just for me

Somewhere that I can be free

Keep the faith and just be, what you′ll be

Do you ever feel like, you could live a real life?

Everybody else in the real world

You could be a real girl

You could be a wizard. You could be in NASA

You could write fiction, you could tame raptors

Most days I struggle and I get snappy

Fuck all that, I just wanna be happy

Swimming against the current, am I wrong?

Can you show me a warrant, honestly, I'm a bomb

Abhorrent, I′m on it, get it, I've got it

I wanna be 10 again, just me and sonic

And nobody telling me I should be more than I am

Back when I had a plan

I just want time in a tree

I need a place just for me

Somewhere that I can be free

Keep the faith and just be, what you'll be

I′ve seen things that I never should′ve seen

Said too many things I didn't mean

Hurt myself too many times to count

I need to let it out, and just release

Been lying to myself too long

Been trying by myself too long

I can′t relax, I'm too distracted

I can′t hack it, uh

I'm needy, greedy

Love me, feed me

Let′s be a family

It'll take a village to make a man of me

So why couldn't you love me?

It′s all I need

I just want time in a tree

I need a place just for me

Somewhere that I can be free

Keep the faith and just be, what you′ll be
