Plant Girl
Cōrt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The words all seem so pointless but we've got nowhere to be
Her eyes were shining bright but were
Afraid to see the light
She keeps me on my toes but I don't
Know where this'll go 'cos
I can't see through my own eyes
I'd like to think that this is right
I'm scared of my own head, and what it makes me think
Your lips shift time, passing by
I don't wonder why
The plants in her room speak to me as we
Hold each other close
She asks me what I'm thinking and I'll say that
I don't know, 'cos
My mind's moving way to fast
I try to tell you what I can
And you don't see what I see
You're perfect and I'll always try to
Be just what you need
