[Chorus]:[N.C.]
I will try to leave you
Better than I found you,
Flowers all around you -
Flowers from the ground.
We’ll grow them slowly.
I feel like you know me;
If you do, then show me
How to make a life I’d like to live,
And one for you, too
Even if these lives are doomed to fall apart,
I’ll take it.
Life is what you make it.
You are my mistake
To make and grow from,
Maybe to grow old with,
Maybe to grow sick of,
But to grow together.
So, I will try to leave you better.
[Chorus 2]:
I can’t tell a story
Until the story’s ended.
Reality is fluid,
And narrative’s a lie
We tell ourselves about it.
Time is just a place -
a place we can return to
Anytime we want to.
Some kind of forever.
[Bridge]:
Just let me put my pack down,
Listen to the bird songs.
Fall asleep in your arms,
Fall asleep in your arms.
Sunshine through the canopy,
Light pooling between the leaves.
Whatever life demands of me,
This is where we got to be.
[Chorus 2]:
I can’t tell a story
Until the story’s ended.
I hope this doesn't end yet,
I hope this doesn't end yet
[Bridge]:
Just let me put my pack down,
Listen to the bird songs.
Fall asleep in your arms,
Fall asleep in your arms.
Time is just a place -
a place we can return to,
Some kind of forever.
For a boy, who made me better.
[Chorus]:
I will try to leave you
Better than I found you,
Flowers all around you -
Flowers from the ground.
We’ll grow them slowly.
I feel like you know me;
If you do, then show me
How to make a life I’d like to live,
And one for you, too
Even if these lives are doomed to fall apart,
I’ll take it.
Life is what you make it.
You are my mistake
To make and grow from,
Maybe to grow old with,
Maybe to grow sick of,
But to grow together.
So, I will try to leave you better than I found you,
Flowers all around you,
Flowers all around.
