Milkweed
When it's summer
Summer in the city
Follow me down sidestreets
Where the weeds threaten to take over
Crack in the sidewalk
You are just like milkweed
You are in your season
Breaking through foundations in the ground
Flower or weed - who could say?
I couldn't tear you away
But someone stole you
I have my suspicions
Stole you from my soil
But I couldn't choose your way to grow
You wanted danger
And you wanted safety
You grew up like a lever
Hanging out over the road
Flower or weed - who could know?
Just wish I told you to go
But would you listen?
Would you be returning?
Cooling down from burning
Milkweed growing roots without a sound
You might be poison
You might be the only nourishment I'd ever see
Before my turn to join you underground
Flower or weed - who could tell?
I guess you lost me as well
Summer in the city
Follow me down sidestreets
Where the weeds threaten to take over
Crack in the sidewalk
You are just like milkweed
You are in your season
Breaking through foundations in the ground
Flower or weed - who could say?
I couldn't tear you away
But someone stole you
I have my suspicions
Stole you from my soil
But I couldn't choose your way to grow
You wanted danger
And you wanted safety
You grew up like a lever
Hanging out over the road
Flower or weed - who could know?
Just wish I told you to go
But would you listen?
Would you be returning?
Cooling down from burning
Milkweed growing roots without a sound
You might be poison
You might be the only nourishment I'd ever see
Before my turn to join you underground
Flower or weed - who could tell?
I guess you lost me as well
