We're A Lot Like Trees Lyrics - Singles - Paper Lights

it's been said of trees that they're imperfect men 

imprisoned by the roots between their sins 

with branches that reach into the dirt like arms 

to plant their thoughts like seeds 

but it never seemed so to me 

we're all living in the same room 

and the heavens are the roof 

we're all living in the shadow 

of a canyon bigger than us 

it's been said that fire is just a greedy flame 

with lights to distract from all it hopes to gain 

all dressed up in colors to ignite it's claim 

and a heart that's much like me 

but I've never felt all that free 

we're all living in the same room 

and the heavens are the roof 

we're all living in the shadow 

of a canyon bigger than us
