Asking the Aspens Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There were times in the middle when I held you
Between my thoughts
Like when you burned all your paintings in the backyard
Couldn't be stopped
Or how your hammered up a ladder to summit the roof
And Dean held the nails
There were times in the middle when I loved you
Heavy and soft
[Pre-Chorus]
We were way too stoned to stand
But we made it to the top
And you were holding 'both my hands
And tryna pull me up, mmm
[Chorus]
'Cause I was ten then I was fifteen
Then I was yesterday afternoon
And I was hangin' from the feeling
That someday you would bloom
Just asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
I keep asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
[Verse 2]
There were times in the middle when I held you
And it feel like snow
Yeah, you're the only kind of weather so weightless
I can't feel when I've let you go
And there you aren't in any of it
Hangin' sideways like a tree
In the hillside of last summer
In the hillside of a memory
[Pre-Chorus]
We were way stoned to stand
But we made it to the top
And you holding both my hands
And tryna pull me up, mmm
[Chorus]
'Cause I was ten then I was fifteen
Then I was yesterday afternoon (-noon)
And I was hangin' from the feeling (The feeling)
That someday you would bloom
Just asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
I keep asking the aspens to grow a boy like you
