[Verse 1]
Steam on our mugs
Grass still wet on our knees
You point out the buds
Laugh at the dirt on my sleeve
Sun sneaks over the fence
Catching the gold in your hair
We plan out the beds
Like we always planned out the years
[Chorus]
In this garden
Time moves slower
Hands in the soil
Hearts in clover
Side by side
My almost-sister
Every bloom says "me and you"
I don’t know where the road is going
But it feels right just not knowing
If the future’s fields or crowded rooms
I just know I’ll bloom beside you
[Verse 2]
You name every rose
I mix the labels and seeds
You talk in half-formed hopes
I water roots and your dreams
Birdsong up in the ash
Little soundtrack to our day
We trace our lives in the paths
Where the stepping stones might lay
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
One day it’s boxes and maps
New keys rattling
Train tracks
Will we still meet in the dawn like this?
You say
"Call me
I’ll come back"
Mud on our hands
We just laugh
Promise sealed in a clumsy hug [soft harmony]
Whatever changes
Remember this
[Chorus]
