I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
Tried to swim but couldn't quite fit in
He was made of bone and all alone
He stayed inside but something hurt within
Oh the trees don't fall
No the trees they're hope(?)
But they fell on him
Oh they fell on him
I once knew a child who couldn't die
So upset(?) the Earth refused to cry for him
Well the same child he held the key
Shut it up inside and held it just for him
Oh the trees don't fall
But they fell on him
Somewhere(?) stop so beautiful his dreams so long ignored(?) on some (?)
So young and sweet he longed to meet the older self that grew inside his lungs
He broke it down to work it out
Was so confused that he began to drown
Since getting lost among the coast
Oh no one sense(?) looked down
Oh the trees don't fall
No the trees they're hope(?)
The trees don't fall
But they fell on him
One had followed me
One had followed on you
Because he followed me
Like he follows you
I once knew a boy who couldn't fly
Tried to swim but couldn't quite fit in

Oh he''s the boy who lived on the tree
Who just shouts to be fine and honest (?) to live
You were always the one with that (?)
Showed no one your songs
And sold no one your hopes
Who was I? Who was I?
Just to judge you?
And who were you? Who were you?
Just to love
Who was I? Who was I?
Just to walk away?
Who were you? Who were you?
Just the boy who fell
From your trees (?) hopelessly lost again
From your trees (?) hopelessly lost
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Oh no the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
Just the boy who fell
I once knew a boy who could't fly
The weight of the world pushed him to his knees
He still fell
