Lovers - The Garden lyrics

I slept next to your broken wrist
And dreamt i was a vine
That grew out of a lover's kiss
And wrapped around your spine
Will you stay in my life? i wish
We were tied together sometimes entwined
By a family line i wish i
Was your sister sometimes like tonight
I'd dry your eyes you'd cough and then
Smile and say you'd be alright
Will you be all right?
I'd trace the tattoo on the
Back of your neck, there's a picture
Drawn there of the place you left
Where you cannot see it
But you can't forget it's
There permanently like a badge
Of regret there's
A row of ocean shells where there
Should be a garden one for each
Whispered word you could tell me
One for each secret
So on shell stars in a dirt sky
I wish you'd trade
Your secrets for mine i'd plant
Them, and in time
Flowers would bloom and burst
Through the room where we'd lie
They'd cover our eyes, i'd be that
Vine, the sun would shine in an
Endless springtime but for now
The flowerpots only hold cigarette butts
There's a headstone there above
The nights we talked
There's a different name whispered
In your yard
But it sounds the same as the one you
Want and now i feel so overwhelmed, i had to
Sit out by myself on the curb beside your
House, with my collar in my mouth, and the
Feelings that i felt, i had to lay them
All out in chalk-writing on the ground
For you to step around and the
Rain that ends the drought and
Would've let our seeds sprout will
Just wash my words out
