If you Ever Found that Place where the Weeds Grow
I don’t know where the right place is
But if you ever found it
That’s where my heart would be
Pumpin’ contently
Good intentions lookin’ like veins
Stackin’ up like a spiral train track headin’ up and out
It’s the only way they grow
Up and out
Like weeds
They grow from anywhere
I had a friend who’s car was so messy weeds were growin’ in his back seat
Love is synonymous with the way weeds grow
Makes me thankful for the fissures in the foundation that holds me
On days where the money runs out
And I can’t even keep my own head above water
On days where I collapse into the fault lines I’ve made for myself
There’s still love in there
I know I’m not perfect
But the intentions bleedin’ out from the cracks in my skin
Are beggin’ for forgiveness
Like it was all that I ever wanted
I hate the fact that I push people away
And I hate the fact that I can get so obnoxious
That even my laugh sounds like thunder
beggin’ ya to punch me in the face
Go ahead and stop lovin’ me if you have to
Just know
If you ever found the right place
Maybe stumbled upon it like a hole in the ground
That you somehow missed
My heart would be in there
Good intentions
Workin’ up like weeds
Beggin’ you to love me
