lyrics
Take the seed and plant it, water it and watch it
it takes a bit of earth
take the plant and tend it, water it and weed it
it takes a bit of dirt
Worry and lament
the cracks in the cement with weeds all pushing through
I tried my very best to do it all without you
all the green it goes and leaves me wanting
it takes a bit of hurt
all left with the feeling of a feeling
smaller than it’s worth
worry and lament the actions I regret with no way out of them
wait for some seraphim to tell me I am blessed
The longer it takes, the harder it gets
the same old escapes I’m full of regret
you could take me right down if you knew how to beat me
you could take me right down if you wanted to be me
you could take me right now if you wanted to
you could take me right now if you wanted to
all the leaves curl inward tighter and tighter
it takes a bit of work
to open them and hope the sun is what grows it, and grows it and grows it, and grows
hurry let us go about our business with no thought to bigger things
the way you look at me makes me want to be better
And I can promise nothing but that I’m not done until I say I’m done and even then I haven’t found a thing that stops me
the longer it takes, the harder it gets
the same old escapes, I’m full of regret
you could take me right down if you knew how to beat me
you could take me right now if you wanted to be me
you could take me right now if you wanted to
you could take me right now if you wanted to
you could take me right now if you wanted to
you could take me right now if you wanted to
