Roots
Valerie Broussard Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I come and then I go
I got used to wandering
Living on the road
All the times I'd love and leave
But you got a hold on me
How'd the days turn into weeks?
We could put some roots down
All I want is you now
You know I'm done, you know I'm done running
I'm just thinking out loud
Trying out a new sound
You and I got, you and I got something
Oh, I'm finally home
Built from this rolling stone
We could put some roots down
All I want is you now
You and I got, you and I got something
We could put some roots down
Put some roots down
We could put some roots down
Roots down, roots down (roots down)
You and I got, you and I got something
We could put some roots down
I know you for one thing
You'd never let me go
You shine like a beacon
Guiding me back home, home, ho- ho-home
All the times I'd love and leave
But you got a hold on me (hold on me, hold on me)
How'd the days turn into weeks?
You and this town are growing on me
We could put some roots down
All I want is you now
You know I'm done, you know I'm done running
I'm just thinking out loud
Trying out a new sound
You and I got, you and I got something
Oh, I'm finally home
Built from this rolling stone
We could put some roots down
All I want is you now
You and I got, you and I got something
We could put some roots down
Put some roots down
We could put some roots down
You and I got, you and I got something
We could put some roots down
Put some roots down
We could put some roots down
Roots down, roots down (roots down)
You and I got, you and I got something
We could put some roots down

Why is this so underrated :( Love Galantis, that electronic touch has an amazing feeling to it. The vocals are such an add on as well.
@ailin4184
I feel the same way! I cannot stop listening to this! ;)
@listentojavg-monstertrakko8604
Is not it supposed to have more views because of galantis?
@sophiaguzman4757
Absolutely no disrespect to Valerie, but I think the reason why it's underrated is because it was released under her name. Otherwise had it been released as a Galantis song it would have been one of their top songs.
