Roots and Branches (Meant to Be Alone) (live session) - This Wild Life

We lay on our backs out on the front yard

Holding your right hand, I say life's been so hard

The shade of the tree we planted

It grew strong with roots and branches

But it's just not ours anymore

We build these walls high, they blend into the sky

Thick skin and bones defend us from outside

The way we lost it all, I think it made you strong

But I don't feel that anymore

I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall

Running straight into walls while you're suffering withdrawals

When will I ever get a better hand?

I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat

Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope

Oh, will I ever be a better man?

Am I meant to be alone?

We lay on our backs on the hood of my car

Holding my right hand, you point out the North Star

Show me the way ahead, guide me with light I said

Cause I can't see straight anymore

Everyone left me all at once then

Honestly, I couldn't even blame them

I've been a shitty friend

I don't know where you went

I just can't handle any more

I feel nothing at all, yeah I trip and I fall

Running straight into walls while you're suffering withdrawals

When will I ever get a better hand?

I am losing my hope and it hurts in my throat

Have my back to the coast at the end of my rope

Oh, will I ever be a better man?

Am I meant to be alone?
