about

Underneath the Trees is a nostalgic homage to young love. It paints a picture of how different the experience is for those who are LGBTQ+ and are in circumstances where they feel the need to hide their feelings for one another due to family, society or where they live.

lyrics

LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES
LEARNIN’ ‘BOUT THE BIRDS AND BEES
IN A PLACE NO ONE COULD SEE
FELL IN LOVE WITH MY BEST FRIEND
SAID I’D LOVE HIM TILL THE END
LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES

WHEN WE’D LAY TOGETHER
KNEW WE COULDN’T TELL
THEY’D SAY WE WERE SINNERS
HEADIN’ STRAIGHT FOR HELL
DIDN’T WORRY ALL THAT MUCH
WE JUST CRAVED EACH OTHERS TOUCH
LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES

BASKIN’ IN THE AFTERGLOW
DREAMED OF PLACES WE COULD GO
LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES
WE COULD RUN AWAY TOGETHER
LIVE A LIFE OF LOVE FOREVER
SOMEPLACE WHERE WE COULD BE FREE

WHEN WE HELD EACH OTHER
KNEW WE COULDN’T TELL
THEY’D SAY WE WERE SINNERS
GOIN’ STRAIGHT TO HELL
BUT OUR LOVE WAS GROWIN’ DEEP
SECRETS GOT SO HARD TO KEEP
LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES

WHEN HIS DADDY FOUND US
UNDERNEATH THE TREES
HE THOUGHT WE WERE PRAYIN’
DOWN THERE ON OUR KNEES
I CAN TELL YOU THAT’S NOT TRUE
THAT’S NOT WHAT YOUNG LOVERS DO
KNEELIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES

THEY SENT HIM SO FAR AWAY
WHERE HE WENT THEY WOULDN’T SAY
NEVER TOLD HEARTBROKEN ME
CRIED AND CRIED FOR WEEKS ON END
TILL I COULDN’T CRY AGAIN
LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES

I STILL DREAM ABOUT HIM
WHEN I FEEL A SUMMER’S BREEZE
WONDER IF HE FOUND SOMEONE
HE LOVED AS HE DID ME
WHEN I COME BACK TO THIS PLACE
I CAN’T HELP BUT SEE HIS FACE
LYIN’ UNDERNEATH THE TREES
