Meet Me In the Marigolds

Isn't it cruel how the things we carry
Settle for truth within our dreams
Sewn by a thread not woven to last we're tying up the seams

Like a deep breath under water
Keeping dry in the pouring rain
Clinging to pictures from our past that never focused on the frame

And we were walking on eggshells
We didn't know ourselves well
So let's start leaving the pieces of things that were broken behind
In our dreamlike state of mind

Let's give it a try

Only in time will our memories soften
Like holding honey in your hands
Instead of soaking it all in
Slips through your fingers like it's sand

Searching for flowers in concrete
We never were completely free
If our time's an illusion
I wonder how I'll fit in too

Let's give it a try
Let's give it a try

Meet me in the marigolds
It's here I wanna stay
Rather be lying in the meadows
Than holding onto all this weight

And all the things we left unspoken
Pull me under like an ocean
Let's work this out let's make things right
We can somehow

Let's give it a try
Let's give it a try

Meet me in the marigolds
It's here I'd rather stay
I'm sick of biting my tongue with the things I never got to say

Searching for flowers in concrete
Oh isn't it bittersweet
Searching for flowers in concrete
It might as well be obsolete

The night it slips away
It's here I'd rather stay
Not holding all this weight

Let's give it a try
