Nobody was born here But we'll die here Sink into this rough soil And fertilize a tree. And that tree will grow leaves, And come fall baby, People will come from all over just to see them drift away from the thing that gave them life.
Nobody was born here But then again, No one knows what "here" even means The meaning was lost in years and years of general nonchalance It sounds beautiful, But ****** if we know how to explain it.
Nobody was born here, But we can choose to call it home. We can choose to grow old here, And we can choose to die here. And if we don't know how to define it, then that leaves a blank we can fill in with anything we want No matter what Anything at all. And if that means you sink into this rough soil, Just to fertilize one tree, Then come fall, baby People will come from all over just to see your leaves change and drift, And baby, That means you're beautiful.
