Our Trees - Tegan and Sara

There is mass confusion in the forest

I heard about it on the radio

Said they’re bringing in some guy

And he’s going to go on and on about

All the things he don’t know

And there’s some girl in the background

She’s screaming something about

Missing trees

And I’m wondering

Where did they go?

No lines on the highway

No passing they say

No green to my left

And no green to my right

And the man behind the axe

Always gets a full meal

Because green never puts up much of a fight

So here’s some helpful hints some breath assured pints

Full of beautiful grace so we steal their space

And death comes quickly

So I pull up to our double car garage hideaways

And I start to say

Where did all the trees go

They moved across the street to grow

Where did all the trees go

Does anyone know

Where did all the lights come from

They said you’re big before you’re small

Aren’t you glad I don’t know it all

Yes, I’m glad I don’t know it all

If the trees could be lions

Would they still fall and be tagged

Would they refuse to surrender, refuse to be gagged

If the trees had a mother and a father like mine

Would they stand up say praise the trees

The trees will be fine, so wake me up from this dream

Tell me things aren’t as bad as they seem

And tell me is it so not cool to say

Who will save the trees?

Will it be me?

Where did all the trees go

Doesn’t anyone know?

Where did all the trees go

They ran across the street to grow

Where did all the lights come from

They said you’re big before you’re small

Aren’t you glad I don’t know it all

Yes, I’m glad I don’t know it all

There is mass confusion in the forest

I heard about it on the radio

Said they’re bringing in some guy

And he’s going to go on and on about

All the things he don’t know

And there’s some girl in the background

She’s screaming something about

Missing trees

And I’m wondering

Where did they go?
