Palm Trees
Surfaces Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Summertime lazy
Living in a daydream
Feeling like I′m waiting
For no one

Look at my new painting
Color never changing
All this time I'm wasting
On no one

All these faces that I′ve never known
Looking for a place that they can call their own
I don't need much to call it a home
I'm doing just fine, if they need me, I′ll be

Underneath the palm trees
Where I lay my head, where I lay my head
I ain′t gotta worry
'Cause all my worries fled
′Cause all my worries fled

(All my worries fled)

Thats why I'ma take it easy
Rude thoughts leave me
Fill the open space
With the sounds of the blue sea
Everyday, woozy
Really like this new me
Wish you coulda knew me
Like this

All these faces that I′ve never known
Looking for a place that they can call their own
I don't need much to call it a home
I′m doing just fine, if they need me, I'll be

Underneath the palm trees
Where I lay my head, where I lay my head
I ain't gotta worry
′Cause all my worries fled
′Cause all my worries fled

If you want me
You can find me
With the warm breeze
And no worries
If you need me
You know I'll be
With the green leaves
Of the palm trees

If you want me
You can find me
With the warm breeze
And no worries
If you need me
You know I′ll be
With the green leaves
Of the palm trees

Palm trees
Where I lay my head, where I lay my head
I ain't gotta worry




′Cause all my worries fled
'Cause all my worries fled
