Redwoods
Let’s get lost in the redwoods again,
Baby I’ll show you how that spot where you begin and I end
Is getting closer than these treetops to the sky
My eye to your eye, or poison oak near your left thigh
Yes I’ve got your back, your shoulder, and your side,
Your next laugh always on my mind,
And that spot between your neck and your left breast is mine,
I hear the beat beat in your chest, and your breath keeping time,
And I can release my stress for the rest of my life, yeah,
Let’s get lost in the redwoods again, cuz I could use a friend right now
Somebody to show me how to slow down, stop rushing,
Leave time for tasting and touching,
And when I wanted to drop out, give in, back up, or cop out
You were there to talk about it, and you were there to rub the knots out,
You did not doubt my differences, you embraced them,
And though my placement on this planet remains unknown
I’ve never been so god damn sure of which way’s home
Let’s get lost on an island again,
wine sippin, skinny dippin, and finding our zen
two tourists in the forest on the highest mountain
we descend into the mangrove trees where we can hear the waves
as they crumble on the white sand beach, I’d love to stay for days,
Imagine this, forget about our plans to be rich
I just wanna live off the land near the sand with my chick
And eat bananas, crabs, and coconuts in a hut made of sticks,
And we’re never gonna dip our toes in, we’ll be diving off the jetty,
People ask us where we’re going and we say we’re here already,
Steady, comfortable and broken in, sun soakin, I’m openin,
My hands, my heart, my arms, my eyes,
My soul, my lips, my cheeks, my mind,
And everything, so glide with me
And listen to these angels sing…
