If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling meaning

Stand in the place where you live

What does REM song stand for?
When did REM stand come out?

If you are confused, check with the sun
Carry a compass to help you along
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

So, stand in the place where you live
Now face north
Think about direction, wonder why you haven't before
Now stand in the place where you work
Now face west, think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't before

Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around
If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
Season is calling

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason
Reason is calling
Your feet are going to be on the ground
Your head is there to move you around

So stand (stand)
Now face north
Think about direction, wonder why you haven't before
Now stand (stand)
Now face west
Think about the place where you live
Wonder why you haven't

Stand in the place where you are (now face north)
Stand in the place where you are (now face west)
Your feet are going to be on the ground (stand in the place where you are)
Your head is there to move you around, so stand

Carry a combust to help you long

Carry a compass to help you along

Carry uncle purse to help you wrong

Carry a compass to help you along

Carry with no bus to help you along

Carry a compass to help you along

Don't think about direction
Wonder why you have it now.

Now think about direction
Wonder why you haven't now.

For bushes and trees, the trees would be fallen

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

REM's, "Stand"

Ham in the place where you live
Now try pork.

Stand in the place where you live
Now face north.

If bushes were trees, the trees would be falling.

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling.

If bushes were trees
The trees would be falling.

If wishes were trees
The trees would be falling.

If you are a few

If you are confused

If you are confused, check with this song

If you are confused, check with the sun

Let's face Morph
Now face Les

Now face north
Now face west

Life is more

Now face north

Meryl Streep, children sleep.

Mothers weep, children sleep.

Now K-Swiss

Now face West.

Now face more
Now face less

Now face north
Now face west

Now stand in the place where you were

Now stand in the place where you work

Now think about your ex and
Wonder why you're havin' none.

Now think about direction
Wonder why you haven't now.

One that's done all the things you said I could do

One that's done all the things you set out to do

Sand in the place where you live
...
Sand in the place where you work
...
Sand in the place where you are

Stand in the place where you live
...
Stand in the place where you work
...
Stand in the place where you are

A completely pointless, tuneless song. At least my lyrics make it humorous!

Stand in the face that you wore

Stand in the place that you were

REM's, "Stand"

Stand in the flesh-eating worm, now fang nose.

Stand in the place where you work, now face west.

Stand in the place that you won't

Stand in the place that you were

Stand in the place where you live.
Think about erection,
wonder why you haven't before.

Stand in the place where you live.
Think about direction,
wonder why you haven't before.

Stand in the place where you were

Stand in the place where you work

Stare in the place that you were

Stand in the place where you were

The bushes and trees, the trees would be falling
Listen to reason, the season is calm.

If wishes were trees the trees would be falling
Listen to reason, season is calling.

The bushes of trees, the trees would be falling.

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling.

REM's, "Stand"

The bushes with trees, the trees would be falling

If wishes were trees, the trees would be falling

The end-center is getting harder.

The answers are getting harder.

The trees would have pollen

The trees would be falling

REM's, "Stand"

Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't been born.

Think about direction
Wonder why you haven't before.

REM's, "Stand"

Think about erection, wonder why you haven't.

Think about direction, wonder why you haven't.

Think about erection

Think about direction

Think about potential

Think about direction

Think about protection

Think about direction

Think about protection

Think about direction

REM's, "Stand"

We are going to pee on the ground.

Your feet are going to be on the ground.

Your feet are going to be underground

Your feet are going to be on the ground

Your hair is there to move you around

Your head is there to move you around

Come on down and eat your makeup

Come on down and meet Jamaica

Come on down and meet your maker

Worn out cocktail boots

Worn out cowboy boots

What does REM song stand for?

The track itself was originally recorded by Beyoncé under the title 'Wake Up'. However, she passed on it and Ariana rewrote it with Pharrell for Sweetener. 'R.E.M' stands for Rapid Eye Movement which is a stage during sleep in which people have vivid (often sexual) dreams and the track itself is about exactly that.
