Hey you,
I'm interested in trying new things,
But would you promise not to talk so fast?
I know you're not one to follow the rules,
But these are demands.
Start off,
I didn't even catch your first name,
Could you tell me that?
Oh, if you open your book, then I plan to read it.
Careful what you say,
If you open your book, then I plan to read it.
Oh, if you open your book...
Did you expect that you'd feel great
In a different place without your friends?
Keeping busy blocking out the optimistic ideas in your head?
You need to plant your roots without your brother's help.
Know that you'll only make this worse if you don't take care of yourself.
That's all he wanted.
So let your roots dig in to the sediment.
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom.
I know that's what he would have wanted,
Your smiling face in a room where you felt okay.
That's all he wanted.
Hey you,
Did you ever think of reaching out like they said you would?
Light a match at the top of the stairs so i know your'e nearby.
I'm sure that your picture's worth a thousand words,
Or a thousand tears.
That's what i'm finding here.
Careful what you say,
If you open your book, then I plan to read it.
Oh, if you open your book
You'll feel your anger subside, peace of mind.
Shake hands with the burden, and leave it behind you.
Now every time you look at your life
You'll be consumed by the radiant light.
So let your roots dig in to the sediment.
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom.
Oh, till you bloom.
Let your roots dig in to the sediment.
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom.
I know that's what he would have wanted,
Your smiling face in a room where you felt okay.
That's all he wanted.
