Roots Lyrics - Spunge

Hey!!!! 

You're the kid from down the street 

The one we used to greet 

And we're glad that it turned out good 

We're pleased that you've done well 

But maybe you should tell 

Us, in person, like real friends should 

Because it doesn't take that much 

And then you find you're out of touch 

With the people that you called friends 

So maybe now it's time 

To drop them all a line, yeah 

And try to make amends 

You shouldn't take it for granted 

The roots that you planted will be fine 

You should make it a mission 

To go back and check from time to time.... 

Break out 

play about 

But don't leave out 

People where you started it from [x2] 

It didn't take that much 

To say you'd keep in touch 

But how many people do? 

They're the one's who put you there 

Doesn't mean you have to care 

I guess that bit's up to you 

But they're the best days of your life 

The time you learn your wrongs from right 

No money can buy you those 

So hold on to your past 

You gotta make those friendships last 

Coz the good time comes and goes 

You shouldn't take it for granted 

The roots that you planted will be fine 

You should make it a mission 

To go back and check from time to time.... 

You're growing up 

You're getting old 

Don't wanna be 

left In the cold 

A different place 

A newer face 

You're sinking fast 

Without a trace 

It only takes 

A little while 

To call 'em up 

And make 'em smile.... 

You shouldn't take it for granted 

The roots that you planted will be fine 

You should make it a mission 

To go back and check from time to time... 

Break out 

play about 

But don't leave out 

People where you started it from [x2] 

You shouldn't take it for granted 

The roots that you planted will be fine 

You should make it a mission 

To go back and check from time to time... 

OI! 

Break out 

play about 

But don't leave out 

People where you started it from [x4]
