Treehouse

Love is a treehouse
Kind of a gamble to get in
That you-and-me house
Little bit closer to heaven
You’ve never seen clouds
Right outside of your window

Love is a treehouse
One of a kind that you have to
See to believe house
All of the climbing is past you
And you can breathe now
Somewhere only we go

The roots may be strong
And the branches are sturdy
It don’t make a difference
You’re still at the mercy
Of the wind and rain
But isn’t the danger
The reason we do it?
We know we could fall
But we’re holding on to it
That’s the risk we take
‘Cause hearts don’t bend, they break

Love is a treehouse
Don’t take money to build it
Move-in for free house
Might be small but it’s filled with
All that you need now
We’ll watch the world keep changing
Just like the leaves now
From our treehouse

The roots may be strong
And the branches are sturdy
It don’t make a difference
We’re still at the mercy
Of the wind and rain
But isn’t the danger
The reason we do it?
We know we could fall
But we’re holding on to it
That’s the risk we take
‘Cause hearts don’t bend, they break

Hmm-mmm-mmm
I’d rather take the chance of crashing than be standing safe on the ground
Just staring up and wishing I was feeling
All I’m feeling right now

The roots may be strong
And the branches are sturdy
It don’t make a difference
We’re still at the mercy
Of the wind and rain
But isn’t the danger
The reason we do it
We know we could fall
But we’re holding on to it
That’s the risk we take
‘Cause hearts don’t bend they break

Love is a treehouse
Kind of a gamble to get in
That you-and-me house
Little closer to heaven
