Throwing poison seeds into the wind Make the poison tree to grow in me begin Let your branches fork my veins Let your honey tide in me Blood loving, poison whispering Oh, beautiful poison tree Let your power grow in me Let your sorrow pour in me Take away my blood and bones Make your flowers deep inside of me Least I'll still have company In my insides, tiny poison tree I seal my love in me Tiny beautiful poison tree Oh, beautiful poison tree Let your power grow in me Let your sorrows flow in me Turn me into a poison tree Turn me into a poison tree Make my shadow go away Make my branches strong and hard Make my leaves flower and spread Make me feel like something powerful Is growing deep inside of me Turn me into a poison tree

I left my baby boy Now miles away The sound I always knew But I forget I forget Foreign tree Drink by the light of day Mother would you stay? I wanna get your love I wanna get your love There once was half moon man He came to me He let my demons go But I forget I forget Foreign tree Dream by the light of day Baby could you stay? I wanna get your love I wanna get your light Wanna get your love

Family I know water, that's Thicker than blood, that's Deeper than love with my friends People come, and Some people go, and Some people ride to the end When I am blind In my mind I swear they be my rescue My lifeline I don't know what I'd do if I If I'd survive My brothers and my sisters In my life Yeah I know some people, they would die for me We run together, they're my family When I get up, they gon' be high with me I'll say, "Forever my family" Family I'll say, "Forever my family" Family I'll say, "Forever my family" Stolen dreams took our Our childish days, still Ain't nothing changed now we're grown We're still young, still got Our mindless ways, and our Timeless phase, kicking songs When I am blind In my mind I swear they be my rescue My lifeline I don't know what I'd do if I If I'd survive My brothers and my sisters In my life Yeah I know some people, they would die for me We run together, they're my family When I get up they gon' be high with me I'll say, "Forever my family" Family I'll say, "Forever my family" Family I'll say, "Forever my family" I know some people, they would die for me We run together, they're my family When I get up, they gon' be high with me I'll say, "Forever my family"

You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset She's going off about something that you said 'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do I'm in my room, it's a typical Tuesday night I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like And she'll never know your story like I do 'Cause she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me, you belong with me Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself "Hey, isn't this easy?" And you've got a smile that can light up this whole town I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down You say, "You're fine", I know you better than that Hey, what you doing with a girl like that? She wears high heels, I wear sneakers She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're looking for has been here the whole time If you could see that I'm the one who understands you Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me Oh, I remember you driving to my house In the middle of the night I'm the one who makes you laugh When you know you're 'bout to cry I know your favorite songs And you tell me 'bout your dreams Think I know where you belong Think I know it's with me Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you? Been here all along, so why can't you see? You belong with me Standing by and waiting at your back door All this time, how could you not know, baby? You belong with me, you belong with me You belong with me Have you ever thought just maybe, you belong with me? You belong with me
