The Fig Tree

Lyrics

From time to time I find myself reflecting on it all
Every stupid thing I've ever said, and wanted to become
I've changed my life's direction, one too many times
And I'm worried that I'll never end up truly satisfied

Every rock unturned
And page unread
Closes another door
And the fig tree keeps on teasing me, promising much more
I'll ask another question
How am I supposed to know
Just turn and take me where I'm meant to go

At least I know for sure
One thing that will never change at all

Is you
You're all that I need
Even if the world is at it's crumbles
The sky falls to my feet
You're the only thing I'll never leave

And I miss every train when you're caught in the rain
In the space of just an hour
Throw my keys in the drain
And my wallet again
Crying in the shower
Don't understand taxes, and parking policies
I never even finished my degree

At least I know for sure
One thing that will never change at all

Is you
You're all that I need
Even if the world is at it's crumbles
The sky falls to my feet
You're the only thing I'll never leave

It's you
Youre all that I need
Even if the world is at it's crumbles
The sky falls to my feet
You're the only thing I'll never leave
