Live Oak Lyrics

Hey there darlin' put your jacket on

Gather what you need before we're gone

What you call damage I just call a mess

Why can't we be quiet why can't we rest

The front porch knows when you're coming home

The rocking chairs sit upright bracing for the storm

Everything ain't gotta be a hurricane

Nothing needs to turn into a fight

Seems like you're tired of pulling teeth babe

And breathing heavy through the night

We could burn this house down to ashes and smaller nouns

All the pieces held in our hands we just scatter them around the town

Get the cards and letters that you gave

Is there anything here you're willing to save

But maybe we can turn it all around

We can put down roots deep in the ground

Everything ain't gotta be a hurricane

Nothing needs to turn into a fight

It seems like you're tired of pulling teeth babe

And breathing heavy through the night

Everything ain't gotta be a hurricane

Nothing needs to turn into a fight

It seems like you're tired of pulling teeth babe

And breathing heavy through the night

We could live like a live oak

We could stand like a live oak

We could live like a live oak

We could stand

We could live like a live oak

We could stand
