Madeline Tully - Watering Dead Plants Lyrics

I know I left my dead plant
On the kitchen window sill
And I'd leave you to clean
My mess again
But sometimes the dust
Isn't ready to settle
No I'd rather wish it well
Into the wind
Just like the hours I spent
Counting steps
Left, right
Left, right
Just like the times
I turned my head again
Left, right
Left, right
Cause I thought I ran across
The Atlantic Ocean
But my feet haven't moved
In two winters now
The callouses fade away
While I'm stood here watering dead plants
The callouses fade away
This room flooded
A long time ago
Hasn't managed to
Wrap around my neck yet
But the ink upon the papers
Laid on the floor
No but I can't read
Those words anymore
Just like the things
You always lost
All the time, the time
The scratchy tapes you
Always wished you could
Rewind, rewind
Cause you thought you
Ran across the Atlantic Ocean
But your feet haven't
Moved in two winters now
The callouses fade away
While we're stood here
Watering dead plants
Sometimes we wish they would stay
