Overgrown
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
So if that is how it is
I don’t wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
A lone doorframe in a wall
When everything’s overgrown
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
So if that is how it is
I don’t wanna be a star
But a stone on the shore
A lone doorframe in a wall
When everything’s overgrown
But what she really really wanted was my rights and my wrongs
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along
And I wouldn’t understand but I would try playing along
And I want you to know
I took it with me
That when things are thrown away like they are daily
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
Time passes and the constants stay
