Wait for camellia to bloom
In the backyard welcome warm now
On a chain link fence I’m bored now
As I’m looking out on the drown of English ivy, spreading, coming out of my teeth

As the green all turns from yellow, grasshopper on a marigold petal
We’ve been laughing just for fun, I’ve been rewinding everyone

Maybe I missed something pretty?
Maybe I was too hard on this city?
Maybe I wanted to see something I could never see
here alone with you, I’ve been shown just who we could be

Wait for some money to clear
like a cloud part, restart saving
We’re masked, but we’re still singing
We can watch the fire til’ its dead
Nowhere to go but back to bed

Hey, so often lonely without reason
But this feels solely like our season
I heard you talking while you slept
I thought to wake you up, except

Maybe I would miss something pretty?
Maybe I was too hard on this city?
Maybe I wanted to be something I should never be
here alone with you, I’ve been shown just who we should be

And one day when all is done and this is just “something that happened once,” hope we’re mindful of our luck, hope we’re reminded of our love
A burden it’s been but best, got me thinking about the west, I always sought solidago views until I was alone with you.
