Asking The Aspens
Kathleen
[Intro] [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 felt 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 to 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
