(like) spring

it's all dark here the sky is low
I planted the seeds but my plants won't grow
my phone keeps ringing it must be fate
but my friends all live in a different state
tip toe in the kitchen light
shelves come together like a sunrise
floors feel like they're covered in snow
nowhere warm for me to go

and now I feel a way I never thought I would
this isn't what I was looking for
this isn't what I was looking for
it's what I've only had in dreams
laying in the grass
and your eyes
they shine like spring

the sun comes up earlier here
and the people don't say hello on the streets
I walk alone at night
and hear no parliament greet
my jungle grows as I watch the news
my voicemails go from one to two
I spent my time in a boxed up place
waiting for the sun to show her face

and now I feel a way I never thought I would
this isn't what I was looking for
this isn't what I was looking for
it's what I've only had in dreams
laying in the grass
and your eyes
they shine like spring
