Daylight

July 1, 2125 | Narrator: Poplar Tree

Massive nature reserves were created in the late 2000s through early 2100s in a last-ditch attempt to prevent extinction and overharvesting. In the dead center of one of these reserves, untouched by humans for decades, a tree grows towards another. When it’s not between people, or even animals, is there still love?

Hey, green
Real tall with a slight lean
Longest limbs that I’ve ever seen
I want to stand next to you

My love
You’re the shade from the burning sun
You’re the sigh when the day is done
I want to stand next to you, oh

‘Cause every time we touch, it feels like daylight
Every time we touch, it feels like daylight
Every time we touch, it feels like daylight
It feels like day, daylight

Brand new
Touched you once, now it’s all I do
‘Til we’re a tangle of me and you
A tangle of green and blue

‘Cause every time we touch, it feels like daylight
Every time we touch, it feels like daylight
Every time we touch, it feels like daylight
It feels like day, daylight

Photosynthesizing
I’ve been soaking up your sun
Photosynthesizing
I’ve been soaking up your sun
Photosynthesizing
I’ve been soaking up yours sun
Photosynthesizing
I’ve been soaking up yours sun

‘Cause every time we touch, it feels like daylight
Every time we touch, it feels like daylight
Every time we touch, it feels like daylight
It feels like day, daylight

(Every time we touch, time we touch, time we touch)
(Every time we touch, time we touch, time we touch)
(Every time we touch, time we touch, time we touch)
(It feels like daylight)

(Photosynthesizing, I’ve been soaking up your)
(Photosynthesizing, I’ve been soaking up your)
(Photosynthesizing, I’ve been soaking up your daylight)
