about

some notes about giving tree:
i wrote this song last august in anticipation of autumn. i wanted it to sound heavily nostalgic and lightly resolved. the lyrics were incidentally written during a full moon, and the song was released during a full moon. we rewrote this song four times before we were happy with it. here’s to perfectionism.

lyrics

you feel like my homestead
what you'd look like in my bed
its hard to find, peace like that
we change our minds
you're a hero
my heroine--
a man who lives in his imagination
it gets quiet, so i panic
you know how rain makes me so romantic
but what used to scare me doesn't scare me anymore
i'm not sorry i'm undone on the kitchen floor

hungry for the days where i'd drink on the train
feel young and unwanted
not old and exhausted
how it hurt when you wrote that song,
like you knew id be leaving all along
i miss those days
i miss those days

chorus*
memory isn't what it used to be
and i can't see myself being your giving tree
pain is weathered
a song gets me crying
heavy and strong like cast iron

i know where i belong
sometimes you don't
and i can admit when i'm wrong
sometimes you won't
but you don't worry about where we are going
the moon governs us without knowing
and i like the way that things have been going
i like the way that things have been going

chorus*
