~ "perennials" Lyrics ~

perennials

Your towel's hanging near
For when you'd shower here
A reminder of what we shared
I wonder if you even care
Even though I saw you cry
And I saw it in your eyes
You care about me too
But I never trust the truth

Tell me you love me
Say that you miss me
I know you're thinking of me so
Come back and kiss me
Get your shit together
Or you'll lose me forever
Grow us back in spring
Water our perennials and fix everything

When I was your sweetheart
I felt like we were pure art
But now maybe we weren't
Now I feel I've learned
We always had trouble growing
Through all of the weeds
You said you wouldn't be going
But I don't know where this leads

Tell me you love me
Say that you miss me
I know you're thinking of me so
Come back and kiss me
Get your shit together
Or you'll lose me forever
Grow us back in spring
Water our perennials and

Tell me you miss me
Say that you'll kiss me
I know you're thinking of me so
Come back and love me
Get your shit together
Or you'll lose me forever
Grow us back in spring
Water our perennials and fix everything

The lightning and the rain came down
On our flowers in this small town
All the gifts on earth can't fix my heart
But I still want nothing to tear us apart

Tell me you love me
Say that you miss me
I know you're thinking of me so
Come back and kiss me
Get your shit together
Or you'll lose me forever
Grow us back in spring
Water our perennials and

Tell me you miss me
Say that you'll kiss me
I know you're thinking of me so
Come back and love me
Get your shit together
Or you'll lose me forever
Grow us back in spring
Water our perennials and fix everything
