Forest Lyrics – Dept

[Verse 1]
I’ve been waiting on the summer
I can feel it in the breeze
When the winter snow is covered
Ice is melting off the trees

[Pre-Chorus]
Spring is slowly coming towards us
No, the way you warm my heart with ease
No, and as the seasons shift and warm up, oh
I see you as the forest around me

[Chorus]
We go round and around
Swirling like the wind that move the leaves
And we’re reaching the clouds now
Never thought that love was evergreen
Oh, I feel your love grow
Like forests around me
Surrounded by you, oh

[Verse 2]
Underneath the shade we’re dancing
Making shadows from the light
You’ve been rooted in my heart for so long
I think we might become intertwined

[Pre-Chorus]
And you suffocate me
Just like poison ivy
You put your roots
Inside my heart and my mind
Love blossoms like daisies
You look at me shyly
Fields and forests, we could lie and lie around

[Chorus]
We go round and around
Swirling like the wind that move the leaves
And we’re reaching the clouds now
Never thought that love was evergreen
Oh, I feel your love grow
Like forests around me
Surrounded by you, oh
