Roots
Joe And Dave Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

I feel like We could really use a walk
A moment for ourself I know You could really use a talk
If you need time let me just take every second on the clock
I'm alright I don't need no medication doc
I wish We can just turn back when our mind was more innocent
Way before all the problems caused after our fathers incident
Before We where so alone and all our thought became so intimate
Before We start realizing all these things that We weren't listening
Maybe you should've rely less on family and more in instruments
Cause Maybe you should start doing more in stead of questioning
You family won't do shit to help your musical development
So you gotta do it yourself before you lose your mental leveling
And watch out who you giving all your love
Cause 4 years with a player let me tell you that it really hurt
You family it's gonna start to hate you cause you never do enough
Anxiety and depression will introduce you to lyrics like a drug
We keep on drinking and smoking can you feel it in our lungs
Sometimes I think you would be afraid in what We've become
I know it's confusing cause you don't know what the fuck it's going on
But don't worry you'll see where this is all coming from
Your feelings will become therapy every time you write a song
And they'll be times of a lot of pain but there's many more to come
Hope you don't listen to our parents cause They don't think we are a good son
They'll put ideas inside your head and let me tell you that it wasn't fun,
You're gonna stick with a couple friends you're gonna lose a ton
Time will become your worst enemy if you always on a run
Don't worry we still got our angels screaming we are the one
But we also got some demons that we hiding inside a jar of rum
Living like pirates how we dreamed off sailing towards the sun
Living with a bunch of snakes you can't really trust anyone
You'll find some people one day that you can call your home
But don't you dare to hurt the ones you love or we'll end up alone
We Learned compassion thru hurting and been hurt
I don't know if We have any other people that We can trust
We tent to overthink not even a day that we can have the lust
Of going away from this screaming, fighting and slamming doors
Some say We have some great hearts some great lips, but not great minds
What kind of person is the one who loves so hard that goes blind
I know what you thinking cause suicidal thoughts show signs
But why you crying and then saying everybody that we just fine
There's nobody to blame for us so I guess it's all mine
Bad decision bad intentions whit some deep rhymes
Stop don't think about the money cause this will take us some time
Love used to help but you can see the hate inside the phone line
You're gonna notice you're gonna start to loose some sleep
That's gonna give more time inside our mind thinking heavy shit
You'll get use to it just like pain so never say that you're weak
You been through a lot that's why you don't think like a kid
Some people are gonna tell us we're to young to know this shit
We start learning by ourselves we don't fucking need a tip
You can lean the hard way and the good way no need to take a pic
Talking about life and problems they're not really worth to think
Cause love without the pain doesn't sound like a perfect fit
And life without a change doesn't teach you many things




Giving everything you love isn't always worth the risk
If you think you're broken like this, is it really worth to fix?
