"Fig Tree" lyrics

"Fig Tree"

What are you changing about me?
I get the feeling you have a knife
Behind your back
Ready to shape me

And I don't think you mean to hurt me
Like I've been hurt before
It's just the side effect
Of loving greatly

You know I used to be someone else
Though I'm not sure who
But she goes farther away
The closer I get to you
And I wanna be
I wanna be
Close to you
I wanna be
I wanna be
Close to you

What are you missing about me?
I hate being misunderstood
You tell me I'm stubborn
With my heels in the wood

And I don't think you mean to grind me
Into the pavement
Bu the parts of me you hate
Were always my dad's favorite

You know I used to be someone else
Though I'm not sure who
But she goes farther away
The closer I get to you
And I wanna be
I wanna be
Close to you
I wanna be
I wanna be
Close to you

One fig on the branch
We're choosing each other
But the love of my life
Is the loss of another
And that's something to grieve
Though there's no better lover
Than you

And if it ends
Like everything's ended before
Will I be the same?
