Under the Pear Tree(Have you ever lost a soulmate? Follow the lyrics!!!)

Under the Pear Tree

[Verse 1]
Grass stains on our bare knees
Rust on the old swing chain
You carved letters in the bark there
Spelled my crooked name.
Your pockets full of marbles
Mine sticky from candy and heat
We swore with our small hands
“This is where we’ll always meet”.

[Chorus]
Under the pear tree
Where we used to scrape our knees
You said
“When the world gets mean
Come find me,
Come find me here”
If I’m lost or I can’t breathe
I’ll be waiting in the leaves
You said
“Whatever life takes from me
You’ll find me
Under the pear tree”

[Verse 2]
Years ran like the river
We grew out
We grew tall
You gave your last breath to strangers
When you heard somebody call.
They say you held someone’s shaking hand
Took the weight so they could breathe
You gave your tomorrow for their today
Left your promise here with me.

[Chorus]
Under the pear tree
Where we used to scrape our knees
You said
“When the world gets mean
Come find me,
Come find me here”
If I’m lost or I can’t breathe
I’ll be waiting in the leaves
You said
“Whatever life takes from me
You’ll find me
Under the pear tree”

[Verse 3]
Now I sit where the shade drops
Branches heavy, bending low
There’s your name in the old scars
Deeper than I knew it could go.
I ask the wind my questions
It answers in creaks and leaves
“Some promises keep breathing
Long after we have to leave”

[Chorus]
Under the pear tree
Where we used to scrape our knees
You said
“When the world gets mean
Come find me,
Come find me here”.
Now I’m lost and I can’t breathe
Now I’m waiting in the leaves
You said
“Whatever life takes from me
You’ll find me
Under the pear tree”

[Bridge]
Today I brought you flowers
And a paper plane
Laid them down under
Where we used to play
Talked out like you can hear
All the things you’ve missed these years
For the first time I feel no fear
Under this memory tree.

[Ending]
You said
“Whatever life takes from me
You’ll find me
Under the pear tree”
