The Mango Tree - Gareth Bush

Are you surprised of the direction You have taken your life in? Is it not just how you imagined it, Exactly how you dreamed of it, And longed for it? Well, I have known for long That kindred spirits, we have grown Into our own, And into one another's roots; We've become each other's irrevocable, And everlasting truths. Just like the ocean, you have Sprayed my thirsty heart, And like the mango tree, you'll never Let me go hungry. It wasn't by mistake that Intertwined were our fates, Our roads now destined to become Embroidered like a chain mail That will never fail To shield our hearts that weigh So, so many tons. And many suns will have to be Ignited and extinguished, Way before the flames between us Finish flickering in the wind. Even in the winter I am warm When I am lying in your arms. Just like the ocean, you have Sprayed my thirsty heart, And like the mango tree, you'll never Let me go hungry. And you may go away As far as Spain, but No extended interval of time, Or distance visible Will ever me far for long. Honey, you're my paragon. Just like the ocean, you have Sprayed my thirsty heart, And like the mango tree, you'll never Let me go hungry. Just like the ocean, you have Sprayed my thirsty heart, And like the mango tree, you'll never Let me go hungry. And like the mango tree, you'll never Let me go hungry. And like the mango tree, you'll never Let my love go free.

I got burdens on my shoulders if I fold then they gon' stay Half the time I pass the time just getting up and out the way Used to ditch school do some music get my penny board and skate Back when we was talkin' Grammys we was talkin' 'bout theweight Hold up, weight Hold up, wait, stop Can we get stans like K-Pop? Can we set trends like De-La Never let whities take mine Tell 'em i ain't doin what they want Roll it up then I face one In the background no change up Bag in the back, knapsack with the bag on us I'm soaring high Through golden skies A reoccurring day dream Take your life And change your mind Imagine all the daisies Empty my bank account and risk it all Spend all my money on a brand new Rolls Play every chord until my fingers broke I gotta to have it just to feed my soul Settle off into open waters All alone you're the only author Take apart everything they taught ya And go live like there's no one other than you I'm soaring high Through golden skies A reoccurring day dream Take your life And change your mind Imagine all the daisies Seconds minutes hours they go Let my brothers know Got no time for feeling so low Let your worries go

As you promised me that I was more than all the miles combined You must have had yourself a change of heart like Halfway through the drive Because your voice trailed off exactly as you passed my exit sign Kept on drivin' straight and left our future to the right Now I am stuck between my anger and the blame that I can't face And memories are somethin' even smoking weed does not replace And I am terrified of weather 'cause I see you when it rains Doc told me to travel, but there's COVID on the planes And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do So I thought that if I piled something good on all my bad That I could cancel out the darkness I inherited from dad No, I am no longer funny, 'cause I miss the way you laugh You once called me forever, now you still can't call me back And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do Oh, that'll have to do My other half was you I hope this pain's just passin' through But I doubt it And I love Vermont, but it's the season of the sticks And I saw your mom, she forgot that I existed And it's half my fault, but I just like to play the victim I'll drink alcohol 'til my friends come home for Christmas And I'll dream each night of some version of you That I might not have, but I did not lose Now you're tire tracks and one pair of shoes And I'm split in half, but that'll have to do Have to do
