Faith Michele Current - Roots

When it comes to loving, I've never been much good at staying
When it comes to leaving, I've always been the one to go
Now summer's fading into fall
I find I have no will at all
To leave your arms and face the bitter cold
So if you're planning for the future
I hope you want forever
'Cuz I don't think I ever wanna go
You gave me roots to ground my wings
In sacred ordinary things
You showed me love when lonely's all I'd known
Please don't make me go back to
My life before I needed you, please
Let me stay forever
'Cuz I don't ever wanna go
I like the way you're grouchy till you've had your morning coffee
Sugar with a little cream in your faded flannel robe
I like the way you always find
A gentle way to ease my mind
I like the way you always take it slow
So if you're planning for the future
I hope you want forever
'Cuz I don't think I ever wanna go
You gave me roots to ground my wings
In sacred ordinary things
You showed me love when lonely's all I'd known
I've never planted a tree and watched it grow through the years
Or watched the seasons turn outside my door
A life of leaving's never got me further from my fears
I don't want to do it anymore.
Outside the rain is colder now, inside I'm feeling older now
I never used to think about these crazy kinds of things
But I went down to the garden store
And bought a baby sycamore
I hope to see it blossom in the spring
So if you're planning for the future
I hope you want forever
'Cuz I don't think I ever wanna go
You gave me roots to ground my wings
In sacred ordinary things
You showed me love when lonely's all I'd known
Please don't make me go back to
My life before I needed you, please
Let me stay forever
'Cuz I don't ever wanna go
Won't you let me stay forever
'Cuz I don't think I ever wanna go
