about

This song is tender to my heart. It's about recognizing when it's time to let something go. After all, Honeybirds don't climb, and you'd never find an oak tree in sub-Saharan Africa!

lyrics

Verse 1:
You have hurt me for the last time,
Until I let you hurt me again.
So come on and let go of the past times,
is this really the end?

So change me back to the man,
that I was before we met.
Well I was so much happier then
without you makin me so upset.

Chorus:
But I know we’ll never be
Like the Honeybird climbing the oak tree, oh no no.

Verse2:
Well I can’t really blame you
For all the things that you said
If I’d have know half the things I’d do to ya
I’d have just loved another instead

Chorus:
But I know we’ll never be
Like the Honeybird climbing the oak tree, oh no no.

Verse 3:
My heart gets a little bit better
Once again I stand tall
Because even the strongest oaks
Lose their leaves to the fall.

Chorus:
But I know we’ll never be
Like the Honeybird climbing the oak tree, oh no no.

Oh oh oh oh.....
