lyrics

open the window let me in
wrap around my body constrict me
tell me the future will you stay the way you are?
I promise May is nothing to me, a thorn in my side
let me say

heaven is a blanket where the world recedes
all my problems roll away with the tide
so grant to me relief on the basis I stand
in your bedroom with arms intertwined
am I right? I think I'm right

in heaven do men breathe so deep?
in heaven do we dream?

roll up the covers let me stand
or leave me here to root a weed is born, a weed is born
listen, the wind blows harder when there's love on its trail
to deliver every kiss to the sun
I hope one day we can recover the loss
for now just keep everything under your tongue

well heaven's gonna come it's gonna cover me up
and your dreams may shine bright next to mine
but pretty faces don't get you where you figured you'd be
give it time and another lover maybe
the wind blows north, and it's blowing

sharper than a broken bone
I won't go outside it'll cut me down
I know that I'm not strong enough
I'll never reach heaven again, I'm sorry

now say you'll be there
say you'll wrap around me
keep me planted here
the weed, the scum of your heart

open your eyes, see me (the weed, the weed, the weed)
open the window let the wind in
part your lips across the middle (ode you'll say to me)
open your chest and let this love blow away
