The title track of The Antlers' debut project.
Here, Peter attempts to solidify his self-worth in the face of the relationship’s adversity and cyclical nature.
[Verse 1]
Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep
Even if you remove them
Branches and limbs are intangible things
That's a fact, but it's not been proven
[Chorus]
I am alive, but I am not blinking
I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing
Pulled up my roots, but I am replanted
I'm growing back, you can take that for granted
[Verse 2]
I'll abandon my flaws if you call off the saws
Don't cut me down
I was reeling with drought, so I moved up and out
But I stayed in the ground
[Chorus]
I am alive, but I am not blinking
I can't catch my breath, my ears are still ringing
Pulled up my roots, but I am replanted
I'm growing back, you can take that for granted
[Outro]
Trees are still trees if their roots are not deep
Even if you remove them
