lyrics

They cut down the trees in the yard today
The new landlord came over to take them away
Now a few branches are all that remain

Sam’s never owned a house before
I can’t really blame him
He just wants to be sure his foundation's protected
And his investment’s secure

Seems like something’s gone wrong the past couple of weeks
I hear the difference in the way that you speak
The way you roll over and turn out the lights
Without saying goodnight to me

When you close your eyes and think of forever
Do you picture the life that we’re building together?
Or does the thought of your freedom
Out there on your own seem better and better and better?

They cut down the trees in the yard today
The new landlord came over to take them away
But I’ll always remember the cool of the shade
