lyrics

Out in the garden
i've lost track of what it is
that i even planted
maybe some radishes?
but it doesn't matter
i'll take whatever comes
i'm greening up my thumb

would you call this waiting?
i call it watching carefully
it's already going
much faster than you see
yeah I like it better
'cause waiting's down the street
but watching's here with me

'cause i'm not tired of growing
it's the only game i'm playing
i'm just ready for the harvest to come
to feed a friend in need

is this a lesson?
or just a sorry circumstance
that's keeping us guessing
when green will come at last
yeah i'm at the window
i'm praying for some rain
'cause something's gotta change

'cause i'm not tired of growing
it's the only game i'm playing
i'm just ready for the harvest to come
to feed a friend in need

when i was certain
you're never coming back
it made me less nervous
less risk of heart attack
'cause waiting was wasting
my garden from below
it suffocates the flow

'cause i'm not tired of growing
it's the only game i'm playing
i'm just ready for the harvest to come
to feed a friend in need
to feed a friend in need
to feed the friend in me
