Roots and Rings

[Intro]
[Verse]
Dust motes dancing in the light
Climbing up to reach the height
Oak leaves whispering hello
To the girl I used to know
Sneakers hitting wooden floors
Opening those secret doors
[Pre-Chorus]
And I find a rusted tin
Where the magic used to begin
Scrawled in blue and faded ink
Before I had the time to think
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a long way down
From this tiny little town
But these paper-thin dreams
Are the stitches in my seams
I’m thankful for the messy parts
And the heavy, beating hearts
Yeah, I’m steady as a stone
Because of seeds that I have sown
[Post-Chorus]
Roots and rings
All the little things
Roots and rings
[Verse]
Chipped neon on a wooden sign
Lemonade for just a dime
We swore we’d never leave this place
Now I see a different face
In the mirror of the glass
Watching all the seasons pass
[Pre-Chorus]
Every letter, every line
Feels like water into wine
Turning heartache into gold
Just like I was always told
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a long way down
From this tiny little town
But these paper-thin dreams
Are the stitches in my seams
I’m thankful for the messy parts
And the heavy, beating hearts
Yeah, I’m steady as a stone
Because of seeds that I have sown
[Bridge]
The twang of the steel
Is making it real
The girl in the pages
Is me through the ages
It’s bittersweet gold
As the story unfolds
[Verse]
I’ve got a life that feels so right
Sleeping soundly through the night
But I’ll keep these notes in hand
So I remember where I stand
The foundation is the tree
That made a woman out of me
[Chorus]
Oh, it’s a long way down
From this tiny little town
But these paper-thin dreams
Are the stitches in my seams
I’m thankful for the messy parts
And the heavy, beating hearts
Yeah, I’m steady as a stone
Because of seeds that I have sown
[Post-Chorus]
Roots and rings
All the little things
Roots and rings
[Outro]
