The Oak Tree

Tradução


Emily Hearn

Compositor: Emily Hearn

Kicking dust up
I'm wearing out my shoes
I can't make my mind up
I've got too much to lose
I'm old enough
To leave home
But way too young
To know what I should do
I'm treading water
I'm trying to keep
My head above the ground

So would you come with me
Up to the oak tree?
Time will stop for us again
Look back, remember when
Yeah, we were just eighteen
Under the oak tree
Safer than we'd ever been
Hold on to innocence

Where has the time gone?
I'm feeling old and gray
Trying to breathe revival
Into my broken ways
I'm old enough
To leave home
But way too young
To carry all the blame
I'm treading water
I'm trying to keep
My head above the ground

So would you come with me
Up to the oak tree?
Time will stop for us again
Look back, remember when
Yeah, we were just eighteen
Under the oak tree
Safer than we'd ever been
Hold on to innocence

We were young
Oh, we were young
And we had time
How I hate
The feeling that time
It keeps slipping away

The child in me is kicking
Don't let a moment pass
'Cause I can't bear to witness
My parents age so fast
They're way too young
To fly home
And I can't stand
To watch the hourglass

I'm treading water
I'm trying to keep
My head above the ground
I'm treading water
I'm trying to keep
Time from running out

So would you come with me
Up to the oak tree?
Time will stop for us again
Look back, remember when
Yeah, we were just eighteen
Under the oak tree
Safer than we'd ever been
Hold on to innocence

We were young
Oh, we were young
And we had time
Oh, to be young
Oh, to be young
And to have time
