On My Honor - Seeds lyrics

[Verse 1] Sidetracked to those steps today The ones we always had to take Our best-potential-friends to by the lake The water's down, but it works for me It always rises in the spring Whether they'll be here to see it or not That rope's still in the tree That none of us can ever seem To muster up the guts to just jump out of [Chorus] The roots keep feeding and spanning state lines That never really mattered to me Too deep to sever, they keep me connected To best friends I never get to see [Refrain] I watch the seeds we've planted grow and consume Every crisis we go through Be it place or man, or the way I live Nothing has entirely destroyed me yet [Chorus] The roots keep feeding and spanning state lines That never really mattered to me Too deep to sever, they keep me connected To best friends I never get to see [Verse 2] Well, not "never" but never enough Considering reminders that I stay so proud of Pictures of couches thrown on to fires And hotel parties in The 'Brier The first time we felt west coast sand And came back home to see that no one understands Save the few who take the time at night to send Messages that read, "let me know when you make it in Safe and sound" I don't know what I'd do if you weren't around You're why this means so much, knowing all that I'll give up Based on four years worth of precedent and repetition [Chorus} The roots keep feeding and spanning state lines That never really mattered to me Too deep to sever, they keep me connected To best friends I never get to see
