Tree Secret (树的秘密)

When we spend time in nature, we realise that peace is found in simplicity. The tree's secret is only found when we slow down and listen close.

V1:
The old tree’s calling to me
She told me a secret
It’s written on all of her leaves
If you slow, slow down
And look at the ground
The snails and the spiders
Have painted it around

V2:
It’s in the seeds
It’s in the breeze
It’s easy to fall for illusions
A rat racing a race
Are you ahead or kissing the tail of the ladder?

Chorus:
I don’t wanna hit rewind
Looking in the rearview
Believing that the best times of my life
Were chasing down a dream that wasn’t mine
I just wanna say goodbye knowing
it was always simple,
I just want a simple kind of life
Oh the trees they never lie.

V3:
The sun’s holding my face
The bugs are waking up
To the night shift going to bed
An apple a day
Isn’t it silly how good water tastes?

C2:
I don’t wanna hit rewind
Looking in the rearview
Realise the best times of my life
Were chasing down a dream that wasn’t mine
I just wanna say goodbye knowing
it was always simple,
I just want a simple kind of life
Oh the trees they never lie.

Bridge:
What if it’s all in my head, and lives in the breathing?
And all of the answers I’m looking for isn’t the meaning?
