"What have you brought me today? Delusional mutterings with a side of crazy?" <br /> ~ Winter, Marissa Meyer


Have you seen me hanging here tonight

Sitting all alone under the starry sky

I know that you want me now

And you know I want you too

Oh the view is so beautiful

Almost as beautiful as you

Hold your breath and never let go

Before the moment ends too soon

 

Come with me

Let me show you how

It’s meant to be

Let me be here

For you now

 

What do you need from me

Under our tree

What have you done to me

Needing you in our tree

I’ll never let go

Holding on to you

Watch the wind blow

The branches above us

As we’re under our tree

 

Can you feel the stars smile at us

Telling us that we’re nuts

Hear the ducks quack as well

Telling us that we’re nuts

Oh will God damn us now

All the way straight to Hell

Will forgiveness come to me

Underneath our tree

 

Say the words

For me and tell me

How to run

From the certain

Eternal end

 

What do you need from me

Under our tree

What have you done to me

Needing you in our tree

I’ll never let go

Holding on to you

Watch the wind blow

The branches above us

As we’re under our tree

 

What did you say to me

Under our tree

Laugh at our God and cry

Holding on to our tree

Never letting go

Watch the moon shine

Through the branches above us

Under our tree

 

Will God save me now

Even though I’ve sinned bad

Will God love me now

Even if I ran far

Are you listening to me

God, listen to me

Hear my plea

And listen to me

 

What do you need from me

Under our tree

What have you done to me

Needing you in our tree

I’ll never let go

Holding on to you

Watch the wind blow

The branches above us

As we’re under our tree

 

Why did you run from me

Far from our tree

What did you say to them

Away from our tree

You can turn away now

Abandoning me

Forgetting how you smiled

Under our tree

Under our tree

Oh you smiled under our tree

Under our tree
