A Tree Falls

If a tree falls in a forest, won't it always make a sound?

Why the hell would it care if there's anyone around?

The sun will keep on burning if it's covered by a cloud

And we'll all go on living if the internet goes down

And I'll still write another song even if you don't hear

I'll still feel I'm getting old even without a mirror

The world will keep on turning, even when the people go

And I'll still love you even if you never know

There's places in the ocean where nobody's ever been

Species in the jungle hiding from the scientists

If they die undiscovered, it don't mean they don't exist

Maybe all the purest things prefer no witnesses

'Cause I'll still write another song even if you don't hear

I'll still feel I'm getting old even without a mirror

The world will keep on turning, even when the people go

And I'll still love you even if you never know

I sit and think about you as the trees fly past the train

The edges of your smile and the letters in your name

Whisper all the things I know I'm not supposed to say

It never saw me hit the ground, but I fell all the same

And I'll still write another song even if you don't hear

Nothing hurts a heart as much as trying not to feel

The world just keeps on turning, and it's got no one to show

So I'll still love you even if you never know

I'll still love you even if you never know
