Leaves, Trees, Forest Lyrics

in my heart is a ghost
and he drinks and he smokes and he keeps me awake
all through the night, my heart shakes

so i live alone
drink beer by the phone and it keeps me alive
i know there is hope, and i can't look for it

there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

oh out in the woods
out in the field, it's a hard rains fall
rust on the wheels of my ten speed

and i ride in the lane
in the lane is a wind and it keeps me sane
in my head is a god but i can't speak for it

there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

that's the trouble with everything
everything always dies and
that's the thing about everything
everything always dies

there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest
there are leaves in the trees, there are trees in the forest

I think this song is about the futility of hope. Not that it's bad, but it's also misleading, so all you can do is go with the flow.

I take it as more "enjoy the little things." They're what keeps you going, everything else is nice, but they aren't worth giving yourself up for.
