Roots for the Weekend

[Verse 1]

You say you came for a quick lil’ drink

Just for a break from the heavy week

But your shoulders talk

Yeah

They telling me

You been carrying too many memories

Bare feet on the grass by the speaker line

Eye shine when the rhythm and the night align

You laugh

Then you hide it in your plastic cup

I say “breathe in deep

Let the ground lift us up”

[Chorus]

Roots for the weekend

Heal up the heart

Wave it all out when the drumline start

We been so tired

Tearing apart

Tonight we grow back

Grow back to the start

Roots for the weekend

Under the stars

You and me dancing on our old battle scars

Hold on my friend

Just where you are

Tonight we grow back

Grow back to the start

[Verse 2]

Your phone keep buzzing but you look my way

Say you wanna feel sun in the middle of the grey

So we sway off-beat

But it feel so right

Little off-key choir in the smoky light (hey!)

You say “love always leave when the bills come due”

I say “look at these people still singing with you”

Every cracked voice lifting up the same line

If we all still here

Then we all still fine

[Chorus]

Roots for the weekend

Heal up the heart

Wave it all out when the drumline start

We been so tired

Tearing apart

Tonight we grow back

Grow back to the start

Roots for the weekend

Under the stars

You and me dancing on our old battle scars

Hold on my friend

Just where you are

Tonight we grow back

Grow back to the start
