Words by Endrick Tremblay
Music by The Great Novel

lyrics

Reachin’ the top by passin’ by the roots
The end is up, but it’s under my tooth
Leaf, orange leaf, the first cold
Like another thief, don’t you be so bold
Rollin’ with Top while I’m wearin’ boots
I’m gonna smoke it up, that grass that shoots

A season has passed but the sun’s still knockin’ out,
Knockin’ out! Knockin’ out.

Left right left. Six feet tall
You say: Don’t you have? But I can’t smoke no more
Highway 15 goes up. God Knows I know this route
I speak to her, I say: “What’s Up”. Never met a route so cute

A season has passed but the sun’s still knockin’ out,
Knockin’ out! Knockin’ out.

I won’t say “what if?” when it’s time to roll
Hitchhikin’ doesn’t hit. Memories can’t be sold
Reachin’ the top by passin’ by the roots
The end is up, but it’s under my tooth

A season has passed but the sun’s still knockin’ out,
Knockin’ out! Knockin’ out...
