FOREST FOR THE PAST / FUTURE FOR THE TREES


Dear old diary,
long time no see.
You remember me,
we only met a bit ago.
Ask my grandma,
she'll agree.
She is a font of knowledge;
I will hate to see her go.


I am all that I have. I say that a lot.
And though my brain is full of plans,
I can't see the future for the past.
But give me one more chance.


Pull me over
local officer.
Do your worst guess work
cause I couldn't see the sign.


I am all that I have. I say that a lot.
And through my landfill of a plan,
I can't see my future for my past.
But give me one more chance.


I don't know the way.
I don't know the way.


Do it over.
Clean out your comb
on the kinds of lovers
who just need a little time.
Once you let loose
things you love
they will not return to you.
That is, not without a fight.


I am all that I have. I say that a lot.
And though my brain is full of plans,
I can't see the future for the past.
But give me one more chance.


I am all that I have. I say that a lot.
And is the rain part of a plan?
Can you see the future in the past?
Give me one more chance.
