The Seed Songtext
von Lewis Bootle

Can′t force the seed, just let it grow
My older roots, they have deceived me
If you find the seed, then let me know
We could grow, we could grow

Polaroid faces take adjacent spaces on your wall
I study carefully your sunny memories with people I don't know at all
In a room that resembles you, been assembled through
All the things you found as you stumbled through
As you stumbled through
So that threadbare bear looks like he′s been through bare changes
And a few of those washing machine, two tumble dryer phases
After all this time, he's not been lost
And all his friends have ended up in charity shops
But he's still here

Can′t force the seed, just let it grow
My older roots, they have deceived me
If you find the seed, then let me know
I′ve been waiting, oh, we could grow


That perfume that you pursue to use
Last night, this morning still resumes
Listening to your breathing
I keep thinking about my breathing and I can't breathe
(Oh, I can′t breathe)
I'm not particularly OCD
Just a general fan of some symmetry
And your shelf layout ratio is not the best
I′d usually have to move a few things
But I could get-get used to it
This is your mess, oh

Can't force the seed, just let it grow
My older roots, they have deceived me
If you find the seed, then let me know
I′ve been waiting, oh, we could grow
Oh, we could grow

I've been waiting on, we could grow
I've been waiting on, we could grow
I′ve been waiting on, we could grow
I′ve been waiting on, we could grow
I've been waiting on, we could grow
I′ve been waiting on, we could grow
I've been waiting on, we could grow
I′ve been waiting on, we could grow
I've been waiting on, we could grow


Can′t force the seed, just let it grow
My older roots, they have deceived me
If you find the seed, then let me know
I've been waiting, I've been waiting
Oh, can′t force the seed, just let it grow
My older roots, they have deceived me
If you find the seed, then let me know
I′ve been waiting, I've been waiting
Oh, we could grow

(I′ve been waiting on, we could grow)

(I've been waiting on, we could grow)
