TEGAN AND SARA LYRICS - Our Trees

"Our Trees"



There is mass confusion in the forest

I heard it on the radio

And they're bringing in some guy

And he is gonna go on

About all the things he don't know

And there's some girl in the background

Screaming something about missing trees

And I'm wondering

Where did they go?

No lines on the highway no passing they say

No green to my left and no green to my right

And the man behind the axe

Always gets a full meal

Cause green never puts up much of a fight

So here's some helpful hints

Some breath assured pints

Full of beautiful grace so we steal their space

And death comes quickly

So we pull up to our double car garage hideaways

And we start to say

Where did all the trees go?

They moved across the street to grow

Where did all the trees go?

Does anyone know?

Where did all the lights come from

They say you're big before you're small

I'm sure glad I don't know it all

If the trees could be lions

Would they still fall and be tagged

Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged?

If the trees had a mother and a father like mine

Would they stand up say praise the trees

The trees will be fine

Wake me up from this dream and tell me

Things aren't as bad as they seem

And tell me is it so not cool to say

Who will save the trees

Will it be me
