The Gardener & The Tree Lyrics

Black as night, clear as day
The situation is confusing and uncertain

I don′t know what to say
The singer can't seem to find the right words

And even though I'm gonna go
Despite his decision to leave

I don′t know if it's right
There is doubt about whether his decision is correct

Hey, but no one ever does
No one is ever completely sure if their decisions are right

Bigger dreams as it seems
The singer has ambitious aspirations

I don't know where they lead
It's unclear where these aspirations will take the singer

And every time stop and think
Pausing to reflect

I′m not sure if they′re right
Doubtful about the wisdom of these aspirations

Hey, but no one ever was
Even the most successful people had doubts about their dreams

And she said, send me postcards, will ya?
The singer's loved one wants to be kept in touch

The ones of shining blue
She wants to be reminded of blue skies and beauty

I'd rather take the camera from my neck
She would rather experience beauty than just take pictures of it

And take a photo for you
She is willing to take pictures to share the experience with the singer

I won′t pretend I'm all alone in the middle of the night
The singer doesn't want to be alone

So I assume that I won′t be back home soon
The artist is away from home for an extended period

And every time I wonder why
When the artist reflects on their situation

I stumbled and cry
Their emotions get the best of them

I realize what I had
Realizing what they lost or left behind

Was no other need
There's no substitute for what they had

He knows
Perhaps a reference to the artist's conscience or inner voice

To catch you on a photo
The artist wants to capture the person or thing they miss in a photograph

All the rules and all the lies
Deceptions and conventions of social life

And calming the skies
Peace of mind

Made to high, made a break
Breaking free from the constraints of convention

I must to invade myself a place where I can fall
The singer recognizes that they must take risks and challenge themselves

I will stay in my childhood
Enjoying the innocence and freedom of youth

A little something now
Holding onto small joys or simple pleasures

I think it'd probably be the, be the, be the, be the best
The artist believes this is what will make them happiest

I would stay the night on
Wanting to extend experiences and avoid leaving them behind

All night under water
Imagining an immersive, otherworldly experience

I know it′s gonna be the, be the, be the, be the best
The artist is confident that these experiences will bring them joy
