Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Up here in my tree, yeah
Newspapers matter not to me, yeah
No more crowbars to my head, yeah
I'm trading stories with the leaves instead, yeah
[Verse 2]
Wave to all my friends, yeah
They don't seem to notice me, no
All their eyes trained on the street, yo, oh
Sidewalks, cigarettes, and scenes, tempted
[Verse 3]
Up here so high, I start to shake
Up here so high, the sky I scrape
I'm so high, I hold just one breath
Here within my chest, just like innocence
[Verse 4]
Eddie's down in his home
Oh, the blue sky, it's his home
Eddie's blue sky home
Oh, the blue sky, it's his home
[Verse 5]
I remember when, yeah
I swore I knew everything, oh yeah
Let's say knowledge is a tree, yeah
It's growing up just like me, yeah
[Verse 6]
I'm so light, the wind he shakes
I'm so high, the sky I scrape
I'm so light I hold just one breath
And go back to my nest, sleep with innocence
[Verse 7]
Up here so high, the boughs they break
Up here so high, the sky I scrape
Had my eyes peeled both wide open
And I got a glimpse of my innocence
Got back my inner sense
Baby, got it, still got it
