Climb you like a tree
By Goddess yoj
CLIMB YOU LIKE A TREE
Verse 1
I want a fire burning on a white-sand beach,
Nothing but the ocean within our reach.
Barefoot in the moonlight, stars above,
No destination, just a little time for love.
Then you walk out of the darkness,
Long dreads falling past your chest,
That beautiful smile catches the firelight,
And somehow everything feels right.
They say there's Marley blood running through your veins,
A little island magic, a little wild flame.
You're so tall you disappear into the blue,
And all I can think about is getting closer to you.
Chorus
You're as tall as the sky,
And I want to climb you like a tree.
Wrap my arms around your long dreads,
Come down and sit beside me.
Let the fire burn low,
Let the ocean sing all night.
I don't need anywhere to go
If I'm right here by your side.
Verse 2
You light the night with that easy smile,
And I forget about the world for a while.
Smoke curling slowly into the stars,
Your silhouette stretching across the dark.
I want to sit beside you until morning,
Listen to the stories hidden in your eyes.
Maybe we don't say a word at all,
Just watch the waves and let the hours fall.
Your dreads move gently with the ocean breeze,
And there's something about you that puts me at ease.
I look up and laugh, thinking, “How can you be
So damn tall and still feel this close to me?”
Chorus
You're as tall as the sky,
And I want to climb you like a tree.
Wrap my arms around your long dreads,
Come down and sit beside me.
Let the fire burn low,
Let the ocean sing all night.
I don't need anywhere to go
If I'm right here by your side.
Bridge
Maybe I'm dreaming,
Maybe I'm awake,
Maybe some nights
Are meant for memories we haven't made.
White sand beneath us,
Moonlight on your face,
Your smile says stay,
And I don't want to leave this place.
I'll climb every branch,
I'll take my time,
Until I reach that place
Where your heart meets mine.
Final Chorus
You're as tall as the sky,
And I want to climb you like a tree.
Long dreads wrapped around my fingers,
Your beautiful smile looking down at me.
Let the fire burn low,
Let the waves roll in and out.
Let the whole world disappear
Until there's nothing left but us.
Outro
White sand.
Warm fire.
Ocean breeze.
Your smile.
You, standing taller than the stars…
And me,
Still wanting to climb you
Like a tree.
