Lyrics Branches - Emily Hackett

Growin' up
I never once
Wanted anything more than just the two of us
Singing "Obla Dee" in harmony
And racing to the top of that magnolia tree, hmm

I thought it was hard
With the miles apart
But the roots we have will always keep at close at heart

Then I got the call
That you met someone
But no one could have known just what it would become

I knew this was bound to happen
Though it's still hard to imagine
That you'd be growin' your own branches
But if he's good to you
Then he's good with me
I'd like to welcome him
To our family tree

My instinct said
Don't let him in
'Cause no one's ever good enough for my best friend

So I'll guess I'll share
I see how much he cares
But when you need me, you know that I will still be there

I knew this was bound to happen
But it's still hard to imagine
That you'd be growin' your own branches
If he's good to you
Then he's good with me
I'd like to welcome him
To our family tree
Hmm, hmm

Yeah, I know this means
I get to make a speech
But words can never capture what you mean to me

I knew this was bound to happen
Though it's still hard to imagine
That you'd be growin' your own branches
But if he's good to you
Then he's good with me
I'd like to welcome him
To our family tree
