[Verse 1: Lau Noah]
If a tree falls in love with a river
'Cause the sun makes her golden and bright
Can the tree understand and forgive her
For the darkness she carries at night?
For the darkness she carries at night?

[Verse 2: Lau Noah with Jacob Collier]
If the spring makes her eyes green with laughter
And the winds brush her hair from the skies
Will he love her as well moments after
In the winter when everything dies?
In the wintеr when everything diеs?

[Verse 3: Lau Noah & Jacob Collier]
And would he notice her face when it changes
And her water turns into a sea?
Or would he deem her a liar, a stranger?
Praise forever who she used to be?
Praise forever who she used to be?

[Verse 4: Lau Noah & Jacob Collier]
’Cause a tree stands too still for a river
And a river's too wild for a tree
Would he cut off his roots to be with her?
Would she ever give up on the sea?
Would she ever give up on the sea?
[Verse 5: Lau Noah & Jacob Collier]
Would he aim to maintain his desire
For a swamp that can no longer dance?
If he were to be thrown in the fire
In her eyes, he would not stand a chance
In her eyes, he would not stand a chance

[Verse 6: Lau Noah & Jacob Collier]
But in the fall, he could stand from a distance
Leaves of red so they dance on her hairs
And she could show him proof of her existence
When the summer rain kisses his lips
When the summer rain kisses his lips

[Outro: Lau Noah with Jacob Collier]
'Cause a tree stands too still for a river
And a river is too wild for a tree
He would not cut his roots to be with her
And she’d never give up on the sea
She would never give up on the sea
