Old Knives - Shaker Lyrics

All the trees that you love so much took time to grow
Feeling stuck or too out of touch? It's hard to know

I remember the cabin up north, I still see
That same boy who knew his own worth and tried to be
Honest and kind but the road always winds
And you never can choose between your heart or mind
Time took its toll on me

Is it self destructive to want to change everything about your ways?
I'm not unproductive, I just don't know what to say

I'm alone with my mind at night I cannot sleep
I think about all the times that I had failed to keep
What was sacred to me, the kid I used to be,
All the times I was blind to what I should've seen
Why couldn't I just see

Is it self destructive to want to change everything about your ways?
I'm not unproductive, I just don't know what to say
