lyrics

This little house on Calvary
Where I learned to walk
In the yard there stood a tree
Roots, leaves, trunk, and bark
Three times it stood proud.
Three times it fell to the ground
Three times it made a sound
That cut through the dark

Please take this stress out from my jaw
Tell me that I'm doing fine
And that I'm not a big of a wreck
That I see myself sometimes
Maybe this will be my year
Or perhaps it was the last?
Either way I'm just living day to day
Stuck in the past.

I miss my family
I miss that God damn tree
I am it and it was me
Before it fell
This place that I'm in now
Is not as friendly as it could be
Like that house on Calvary
That's missing its tree.

Please take this stress out from my jaw
Tell me that I'm doing fine
And that I'm not a big of a wreck
That I see myself sometimes
Maybe this will be my year
Or perhaps it was the last?
Either way I'm just living day to day
Stuck in the past.
