  • Don't even go too fast, mama
    I'm steady on a rock trippin'
    I'll tell you that I'm not slippin'
    But tell me not a thing rippin'
    Let's say that there will be lippin'
    I'm standing on top blinkin'
    I'd tell you that I don't know
    But you're favored now by fifty
    And I'm right at home

    And damn, if I'm not climbing up a tree right now
    And everything is peaceful love
    And right in me
    And I know that we may go and change someday
    I couldn't rightly say
    That's for parting days

    What I went and thought about
    All in one day
    Is simply in-divisible?
    As we go our separate ways
    Have you already spoken?
    Did I hear you say?
    Did I already hear you say?
    When you're gone
    That's a long, old weight of mine

    And damn, if I'm not climbing up a tree right now
    And every little thing is love
    And right with me
    And how am I to know that someday you might change the road?
    I caught an offering
    That's a burning ring

    Is it just coming or going?
    Or will it hang around?
    For a long, long time
    Well, I've had too much
    And not nearly enough
    'Cause I'm afraid with that love
    And then they make me this way
    I, I'll just go ahead away
    On the loose
    The opposite of fools
    I will run the table all through
    'Cause I still don't know the truth

    But damn, if I'm not climbing up a tree right now
    And everything is peaceful love
    And right in me
    And I know that someday you may change some way
    I couldn't rightly say
    That's for parting ways Writer/s: Brandon Burton, James Stack, Justin Vernon
