Oak Tree Lyrics

I climbed the oak tree in Grandma's backyard
To talk to the moon, oh
It said to me, "Son, you'll be alright
Just don't cry."
Ooh

I want you
I love you
Let me hold you for a little while

I went to the mountain side to fight through bees
To earn my name, oh
I fought to the brink of my life
I turned the tide, ooh

I want you
I love you
Let me hold you for a little while

I sailed the river road to catch the fish
That no one's caught, oh
Stared you in the eye
You swam away
I'll catch you someday, ooh

I want you
I love you
Let me hold

I want you
I love you
Let me hold

I want you
I love you
Let me hold you for a little while

I run away with you
I run away with you

And I run away with you
I run away with you
I run away with you
And I run away with you

I run away with you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
