Timber

I remember playing my first bar with

An old mic and a cheap guitar but

It gave me a rush that I ain’t felt yet

Playing music’s like a sweet perfume that

Brings attention from across the room but

It’s filled up my heart with some regrets, like

Chasing girls that are screaming on the crowd floor

Thinking I should maybe walk through a church door

Feeling Jesus knows that I’m a sinner

I got nothing left to lose in these old boots

So I can be a little reckless if I want to

Knowing that I may not be forgiven

I’m standing like a tree that’s lost its roots

If the timber falls, I’ll be bringing you down too

I use heartache as a main excuse to

Hurt people and evade the truth when

I’m the only one I should be blaming

I got lessons from a couple of guys who

Only want to give me strong advice

On how to deal with life as it keeps changing

But I’m too busy cause I’m

Chasing girls that are screaming on the crowd floor

Thinking I should maybe walk through a church door

Feeling Jesus knows that I’m a sinner

I got nothing left to lose in these old boots

So I can be a little reckless if I want to

Knowing that I may not be forgiven

I’m standing like a tree that’s lost its roots

If the timber falls, it could bring you down too

They say the lord is always near to the broken

And just because you find success it doesn’t mean you’re chosen

I think it’s time to find a way down the path I’m going

And be the better version of my youth, so no more

Chasing girls that are screaming on the crowd floor

Thinking I should maybe walk through a church door

Feeling Jesus knows that I’m a sinner

There are people who are counting on these old boots

I shouldn’t be a little reckless cause I want to

Even though I’ve always been forgiven

Now I’ve finally found my grounding roots

The timber won’t fall cause I’m holding you up too
