Roots Dig In by Restless Streets Lyrics
Hey you
I’m interested in trying new things
But would you promise not to talk so fast?
I know you’re not one to follow the rules
But these are demands
Start off
I didn’t even catch your first name
Could you tell me that?
Oh, if you open your book, then I plan to read it
Careful what you say
If you open your book, then I plan to read it
Oh, if you open your book…
Did you expect that you’d feel great in a different place without your friends?
Keeping busy blocking out the optimistic ideas in your head?
You need to plant your roots without your brother’s help
Know that you’ll only make this worse if you don’t take care of yourself
That’s all he wanted
So let your roots dig in to the sediment
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom
I know that’s what he would have wanted
Your smiling face in a room where you felt okay
That’s all he wanted
Hey you
Did you ever think of reaching out like they said you would?
Light a match at the top of the stairs so I know your’e nearby
I’m sure that your picture’s worth a thousand words
Or a thousand tears
That’s what I’m finding here
Careful what you say
If you open your book, then I plan to read it
Oh, if you open your book you’ll feel your anger subside
Peace of mind
Shake hands with the burden, and leave it behind you
Now every time you look at your life you’ll be consumed by the radiant light
So let your roots dig in to the sediment
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom
Oh, till you bloom
Let your roots dig in to the sediment
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom
I know that’s what he would have wanted
Your smiling face in a room where you felt okay
That’s all he wanted
I’m interested in trying new things
But would you promise not to talk so fast?
I know you’re not one to follow the rules
But these are demands
Start off
I didn’t even catch your first name
Could you tell me that?
Oh, if you open your book, then I plan to read it
Careful what you say
If you open your book, then I plan to read it
Oh, if you open your book…
Did you expect that you’d feel great in a different place without your friends?
Keeping busy blocking out the optimistic ideas in your head?
You need to plant your roots without your brother’s help
Know that you’ll only make this worse if you don’t take care of yourself
That’s all he wanted
So let your roots dig in to the sediment
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom
I know that’s what he would have wanted
Your smiling face in a room where you felt okay
That’s all he wanted
Hey you
Did you ever think of reaching out like they said you would?
Light a match at the top of the stairs so I know your’e nearby
I’m sure that your picture’s worth a thousand words
Or a thousand tears

Now every time you look at your life you’ll be consumed by the radiant light
So let your roots dig in to the sediment
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom
Oh, till you bloom
Let your roots dig in to the sediment
Try and build your strength each day till you bloom
I know that’s what he would have wanted
Your smiling face in a room where you felt okay
That’s all he wanted
