"Trees" lyrics

"Trees"

I know where you stand
Silent in the trees
And that's where I am
Silent in the trees.
Why won't you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly.

I can feel your breath.
I can feel my death.
I want to know you.
I want to see.
I want to say hello.

Hello. Hello-oh-o. Hello.

Na na, na na na nah na na. [4x]

I know where you stand
Silent in the trees
And that's where I am
Silent in the trees.
Why won't you speak
Where I happen to be?
Silent in the trees
Standing cowardly.

I can feel your breath.
I can feel my death.
I want to know you.
I want to see.
I want to say hello.

Na na, na na na nah na na. [2x]
Hello, hello.
Na na, na na na nah na na. [2x]
Hello, hello.

Hello, hello. [2x]


Thanks to Jessie for correcting these lyrics.
Writer(s): Tyler Joseph
This song was written one of the first for the album. Tyler Joseph was inspired to write the original lyrics after an event in his life in which he had been searching for something in the woods.
The ultimate message of this track, according to Tyler Joseph, is a search for truth, maybe, some divine power, e.g. God in Christianity.
Tyler Joseph explained to Rock Sound, "It is one of the last songs we play in our set and by this song usually im exhausted during the live set. For some reason this song gives me a second wind, I don't even know where it comes from."
