You're the branch I have been swinging on
You're the ceiling I keep pushing away
To escape from the ties and holds
And finally stand on my own two feet
Finally stand on my own two feet
Make way, make way
All the leaves fly for us
Swing high, swing low
I love you just because
We need new memories instead of near-certainties
To get us through these trying times in one piece
The world is full of people just like you and me
Our hearts are over there
But our lives are still here
You're the air that's keeping me afloat
You're the principle column of my life
I carved my name into your bark
I never meant to do you harm
I never meant to do you any harm
Make way, make way
All the leaves fly for us
Swing high, swing low
I love you well just because
We need new memories instead of near-certainties
To get us through these trying times in one piece
The world is full of people just like you and me
Our hearts are over there
But our lives are still here
I climb the tree, you steal the fruit
I take the blame for your damaged goods
I give my all to turn you around
I raise you up, you cut me down
We need new memories instead of near-certainties
To get us through these trying times in one piece
The world is full of people just like you and me
Our hearts are over there
But our lives are still here
(Make way, make way)
I climb the tree, you steal the fruit
(Swing high, swing low)
I take the blame for your damaged goods
(Make way, make way)
I give my all to turn you around
(Swing high, swing low)
I raise you up and you cut me down
