Oleander

Oleander

Forever and ever

I've come to understand

That buried deep within

That's who we are

 

Underneath your clothes

Just below the skin

There's a feeling that you get

When it really sinks in

 

We drove back into town bout a quarter after nine

Parked the car outside the house

Killed the engine with a sigh

Cause it's gotta be you

I don't want nothin' else

Gettin' lucky in that summer sun

Or to get ya through the winter months

 

Oleander

Forever and ever

I've come to understand

That buried deep within

That's who we are

 

Oleander

Or the distance still to go

Or the places you call home

That's who we are

 

You made a promise to yourself

And all the things that you're making up

You'd stop carrying this all around

One day when the Leafs win the Cup

And that's a long time to wait

Like Marty used to say

If the best of you is still to come

Don't you trade it for another one

Oleander

Forever and ever

I've come to understand

That buried deep within

That's just who we are

Oleander

Or the distance still to go

Or the places you call home

And that's who we are

Underneath your clothes

Just below the skin

There's a feeling that you get

When it really sinks in
