about

this song is about our familiar relationships. we can't live with 'em; we can't live without 'em.

lyrics

minor misconceptions, and i've been contemplating failure
for my darling inception, swearing like a sailor

well, trees are only whole in the spring
but i've seen them pretty without the leaves

teary-eyed confessions, and i've been feeling like a failure
pardon my perception, but you're a contusion to my stature

to my stature...

and in the corner of our living room stood the marijuana tree
Mom claimed it was a breed of the Japanese she purchased at Hobby Lobby
we said "yeah, right. we know you like the weed."
jokingly, "and its leaves and synthetic kush."

but those leaves never fell from that tree
i guess in order to be real
there must be some separation anxiety
a peeling back, a peeling back

to see the branches beneath
to see the branches beneath

trees are such sad creatures, and you say it's just human nature

so if you really love me, do you really love me
or do i just sit in your heart like cancer?
so if you really love me, do you really love me
or do i just sit in your heart like cancer?

like cancer...

i wish we didn't always have to get up and leave
i wish we didn't always have to get up and leave, get up and leave
because i'm not whole without you and i'm not whole without you
and i'm not whole without you...

without you...

well, trees are only whole in the spring
but i've seen them pretty without the leaves...
