Simon Dawes - Seeds (acoustic) Lyrics

Take a bite but don't mind the seeds
Might get stuck between your teeth
And for some that's all they'll ever be
Like they're waiting to die

To reach up and touch the lightning
Try and fight the breeze
Just to fall quietly

But they could be the most beautiful, magnificent of trees
The answer is hard to find sometimes, it's hidden in the leaves

Seems my pain's already waiting for you
Like its mourning a loss
That it feels it has proof will come true
It's just prepaying the cost

But then your eyes sing, softly closing
Voice is smiling at me
And my lungs can start believing,
Though my mind won't let them breathe
That somewhere locked beneath my dreams

There is something beautiful, it might be fragile till it's free
One kind of strange but perfect reason to believe

And the dirt don't need a reason now to hold me
No one tells the seeds to grow trees
It doesn't know the future but the oak leaves
In the spring will still explode

So I don't need more proof
That you're waiting for me

So if you give me just your time, please
I'll hold you tightly
Hate what space can fit between

It takes something more than human
Makes so much sense it leaves me stupid
The thing that makes my language useless

It takes something beautiful, something powerful and free
The thing that makes the leaves keep growing
The poems written in the leaves

It never gave me any reason I am here, just took away my violent need
A peace I only find when you're here, living next to me
