You tend to the garden, I'll trim the weeds
The vines grew tall but there's some beauty underneath
May not be much but it's everything we need
It's ours and that's enough for me
Years fly by,
Or rot my teeth,
We all want an endless love
To keep away the aging
An endless love
No endless sleep
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave
Sit on these steps and touch the paint
So both our ghosts remember, don't cry
Etch our names in the wood
And all our words will linger on
Like the rake and the spade
In the garden that we made
It's a garden right here forever
I used to wonder how I would fill the years
A life's too long if there's no love for you to share
So when I met you, I finally felt fear
'Cause I never want this to end
We lay in bed late and talk of life and death
Of all the poets who laid their minds to rest
The question's always, what happens next?
And it's a sore subject (just bones and flesh)
Years fly by,
Or rot my teeth,
We all want an endless
To keep away the aging
An endless love
No endless sleep
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave
Sit on these steps and touch the paint
So both our ghosts remember don't cry
Etch our names in the wood
And all our words will linger on
Like the rake and the spade
In the garden that we made
It was a garden
Right here
Forever
Years fly by,
Or rot my teeth,
We all want an endless love
To keep away the aging
An endless love
No endless sleep
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave
An endless love
No endless sleep
Our hearts will stay alive after our bodies leave
Like the rake and the spade
In the garden that we made
It was a garden
Right here
Forever
