lyrics

I tried to make myself a tree
Grow up much taller than me
Make my leaves soft and green
I tried to make myself a tree

I thought that I should plant some roots
I went and bought those ugly Ugg boots
And I never knew
How to be a tree

I am not the waves crashing down
I am not the breeze swirling round
I am not a tree
I am me
I am not a tree

I tried to make myself a book
Colored in my covers and my spine so I would look
Like the others on the shelf
I tried to make myself a book

But I am not something to be red
I like blue much better and somethings are better left unread

I tried to shape myself for you
There is nothing that I thought that I wouldn’t do
Now I’ve gone and turned all my bones to goo
Trying to fit inside what I meant to you

Oh no no no no
No no no no no
No no no no no
Nooo nooo nooo nooo

I am not a tree
I am not a book
I am simply me
If you care to look
And I will be much more
Then you ever, I ever had thought I could be
Cause I’m not trying to be a tree
