I started to tear up listening to this. Am in a really difficult place right now, and this describes how I am exactly. Great music. I feels better, to have a reminder that i am not the only one that has and will ever feel this way.

[skipws]

I've listened to this on repeat since it came out. Honestly, no music impacts me more than Raliegh's.

[undetectedsnake]

Raliegh, if you ever see this comment. You saved my life, I was severely depressed with moving away from my friends and I want you to know. I love you and thank you.

[sithlord_dani]

It's so funny cause I want to sing out loud to this, but everytime I try I just choke up, on the verge of crying. God. It's such a beautiful song.

[SailingShaggySeas]

This is such a calming song. I love it!!

Lyrics:

[Chorus]
I just want time in a tree
I need a place just for me
Somewhere that I can be free
Keep faith and just be
What you feel

[Verse 1]
I guess rules are there to break
But I make mistakes like they were handed on a plate
When I try to leave sometimes, I’m standing in the way
I’m on the edge of crying all the time, cos I can’t human
Right

[Verse 2]
What a state
I get wound up, from the ground up
And I don’t know why
Turn the sound up, drown the noise out
Swallow (Whoa), Don’t cry
Got an anxious heart, and it’s stone made
Can’t take paper or heartbreak
Did Billy Joel have self esteem?
Maybe Vienna wouldn’t wait for me

[Chorus]
I just want time in a tree
I need a place just for me
Somewhere that I can be free
Keep the faith and just be
What you feel

[Verse 3]
Do you ever feel like, you could live a real life?
Like everybody else in the real world, you could be a real girl?
You could be a wizard, or you could be in NASA, you could write fiction, you could tame raptors
Most days I struggle and I get snappy
Fuck all that, I just wanna be happy

[Verse 4]
Swimming against the current
Am I wrong?
Can you show me a warrant
Honestly, I’m a bomb
Abhorrent
I’m on it, I get it, I’ve got it
I wanna be 10 again, just me and sonic, and nobody telling me I should be more than I am
Back when I had a plan

[Chorus]
I just want time in a tree
I need a place just for me (for me)
Somewhere that I can be free (I can be free)
Keep the faith and just be (Just be)
What you feel

[Bridge]
I’ve seen things that I never should have seen
Said too many things I didn’t mean
Hurt myself too many times to count
I need to let it out, and just release
Been lying to myself too long
Been trying by myself too long
I can’t relax, I’m too distracted
I can’t hack it

I’m needy, greedy
Love me, feed me
Let’s be a family
It’ll take a village
To make a man of me
So why couldn’t you love me?
It’s all I need

[Chorus]
I just want time in a tree
I need a place just for me
Somewhere that I can be free
Keep the faith and just be
What you feel

Oh my God! Bless me for having the notifications on! What an amazingly beautiful song Raleigh! But what am I shocked, you are always dropping some awesome music 💙💙💙 Bless your soul, mate 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[Passos]

The first time i heard this song I was extremely depressed and suicidal, and it described exactly how I was feeling and, all I could do was cry e keep listning to it in replay, the fact that I can listen to it without crying today its something I will never take for granted.

[maskedmildew]

Jacob putting-out instant classics as soon as they come out

[RandomStudiosFM]

Finally get in my face and body and mind new Raleigh tracks.

[sybergf]

LEGEND im glad you’re back better than ever ♡

[scrambaldfilmsJosh]

Honestly baffled how his songs don't have hundreds of thousands of views.. cannot wait for the new album!

[jiffylou]

Like virtually all of Jacob's songs, it grows more and more on me with each listen.

[slotmachinemashups]

I keep coming back to this. I can't get enough. Much love from the Grumps community

[spark_two]

Fuck this is too relatable. Amidst all the crappy songs being put out, you still have a way to make an impression on me with real music that has meaning.

[Akking]

It still blows my mind that Grey worm can sing like this. I would never have guessed it was him in a million years if I just heard this song.

[afroluffy]

Words cannot express just how much i LOVE this song. 2 years later and It's still so GODDAMN good.

[ortegalovesgaming]

How some songs portrait your entire feelings and life stories, its some good music.
