It's been a few years now
We watched them grow
As they blossom into flowers on the streets

The roots are growing in the cracks of the pavement
So we watch our feet
And we don't see a threat

We're just some kids in the summer time
We'll play on the fields 'till the grass stains will be our pictures in a photo book


But then you get this fever
You find yourself looking through closes windows


Because you don't want a...
Growth on your back
Then suddenly it itches

And you find that you're scratching out your beautiful eyes
You wouldn't see reason
If it hit you full on in the face


Now you've ruined the carpet you were walking on
'Cus you let them in again

What is it that you're holding on to
When they would gladly let you go?
If it's love that you're looking for

Then you've got the wrong friends
They've dropped the seeds
Now you don't want them growing so I'd leave them out to dry


Because you don't want a...
Growth on your back

Then suddenly it itches
And you find that you're scratching out your beautiful eyes
You wouldn't see reason

If it hit you full on in the face

Don't get me wrong

I missed holding hands with you
But my skin is drying out
You tied potential to the chair

Now it's time for me and him to go

Because you don't want a...

Growth on your back
Then suddenly it itches
And you find that you're scratching out your beautiful eyes

You wouldn't see reason
If it hit you full on in the face


Don't get me wrong
I missed holding hands with you
But my skin is drying out

You tied potential to the chair
Now it's time for me and him to go
