Lyrics

[Intro]
I never kept a calendar, just counted breaths till dark,
Every night a border I reached with a shaking heart.

[Verse 1]
There’s a paper bag of tulip bulbs on my table like a dare,
Little brown moons asking who I’ll be next year.
My hands hover over soil that used to feel like grave,
It scares me to trust the ground with anything I’d save.

[Build]

[Chorus]
I choose the strip beside the steps where morning warms the clay,
I press these little ships of light and cover them with faith,
I say it out loud to the walls — this is a house I won’t leave,
I’m planting for a spring I’ll live to see,
I’m planting for a spring I’ll live to see.

[Drop]

[Verse 2]
I used to sleep in denim, keys ready in my sleeve,
Boxes never opened, maps that taught me how to leave.
But now the cupboards learn my name, the floorboards know my feet,
A quiet keeps returning like a tide that won’t retreat.

[Build 2]

[Chorus 2]
I hang my coat inside the door, leave footprints in the dust,
I mark the studs and measure dreams, let silence earn my trust,
I plant a line of sugar peas, a bed of mint for tea,
This is a house I won’t leave — these roots remember me,
I’m planting for a spring I’ll live to see,
I’m planting for a spring I’ll live to see (live to see)

[Drop 2]

[Breakdown]
Maybe hope’s a buried note I water with my sleep,
Maybe staying is a promise whispered to the beams,
I’m here tomorrow — hear it rooting inside me.

[Final Build]

[Final Drop]

[Outro]
When the first green cuts the frost, I’ll meet it on my knees,
I’m planting for a spring I’ll live to see.
