Lately I’ve been wishing for a blank slate
Lately I’ve been dreaming all my days away.
Lately I’ve been kicking at the gravel
Got a funny feeling like I’m stuck on replay
I planted a garden and I watched it grow
Piece by piece, leaf by leaf
Coming up slow
And now it’s winter and I’m still here
And I don’t know what for.
Lately I’ve been wishing for a new sky
Wondering if maybe I should un-tie my heart.
Baby, hold me down because I’m floating
I can’t touch the ground
And I can see it’s getting dark.
I planted a garden
And I watched it grow.
Piece by piece, leaf by leaf
Coming up slow
Now it’s winter and I’m still here
And I don’t know what for.
Lately I’m tired of meditating
Sitting around while the light is fading fast.
There’s a time to be and a time to do, my love
I have enough fire for the both of us, I guess
I planted a garden and I watched it grow.
Piece by piece, leaf by leaf
Coming up slow.
Now it’s winter and I’m still here
And I don’t know what for.
