Pear Tree Lyrics

I started thinking again

About that old pair tree

In the backyard of my great grandmother's house

She ain't doing to well these days, I had to tell her goodbye today

And took me back to when I was nine years old

In that little roadside house

As I lay on this couch

I started thinking again

And I reminisce all the times we spent

I tried seeking god for closure but my closure never came from faith

It came by you by my side

Singing country songs and taking a long drives

I started thinking again

They say "the more you love, the less you hate"

It only seems true when you're running on counted days

And either way these embers grow colder and fade away

They say "change your ways before you leave this place"

I don't wanna go without feeling like I lived my days

And the ones around will be at peace in my tragedy

Is that all we know?

Is that all we need?

I started thinking again

About that crushed concrete

In the driveway of my grandfather's house

I haven't talked to him in weeks

We usually talk sports, politics or just shoot the breeze

And I remember him watching me at five years old

I started thinking again

About the friends back home who won't remember me

And hell knows I'll never forget them

Even though I wish I could

And that place was my everything

It was all of me

They say "the more you love, the less you hate"

It only seems true when you're running on counted days

And the embers grow colder and fade away

They say "change your ways before you leave this place"

I don't wanna go without feeling like I lived my days

And the ones around will be at peace in my tragedy

Is it all we know?

Is it all we need?

Is it all we know?

Is it all we need?

I'm watching the world grow up without me

When I thought it would grow around me

I saw the world grow up without me

When I thought it would grow around me
