lyrics

i grew up in a forest, i'd count the birds
dirty hands when i got home
when i get the sense that i'm losing, because i am not choosing
to pay any mind to what i need, and i end up bleeding

ah and this happens to me all the time but i still forget
ah this happens to me all the time but i still forget
oh wont you pick me up on your way to california
and ill try my best to laugh
ha ha ha ha....

i grew up in a forest, id count the birds
each ones shadow on the ground guiding me home
and when i alone and my thoughts are, so much louder than my voice is,
well i write them down and teach myself to sing, and i end up dancing

ah this happens to me all the time but i still forget
ah this happens to me everyday but i still forget
oh wont you pick me up on your way to california
and ill try my best to laugh
ha ha ha ha....

i grew up in a forest, id count the birds..
