I woke up, surrounded by these trees
So tall, magnificent, providing all I need
A shelter from the elements encased in all that’s pure
I think I’ve found my escape from always wanting more
Yeah you go chasing all those empty promises
And run into the darkness baby I’ll stay in the light
Don’t worry about those skeletons your closet has inside
Lord knows I’ve got plenty of my own that I have left behind
No need to concern ourselves with our shattered past
It’s shaped us yes but it is still the past nonetheless
Let’s look forward to the future yet to come
Like a captain of this sinking ship I will steer this haul
Just help me out, and we’ll be alright before the night – falls
Oh you, you don’t owe me nothing, no you
You don’t owe me nothing, no you
You don’t owe me nothing, no you
You don’t owe me nothing
Except for your heart x4
Yeah you go running through all of those empty fields
And dive into the ocean’s depths, tell me what you feel
Intrigued and amazed by all that surrounds your heart
A life less ordinary and a fleeting moment of fate
Will the two bring us together at a faster pace
Like science versus spirit and spirit dominates
Here, take my hand darling I will hold your’s tight
We’ve weathered all these storms before and made it out alive
You take these reins steer the way into the light – that will shine on us
Oh you, you don’t owe me nothing, no you
You don’t owe me nothing, no you
You don’t owe me nothing, no you
You don’t owe me nothing
Except for your heart x5
