Garden Song - Phoebe Bridgers

Someday, I'm gonna live In your house up on the hill And when your skinhead neighbor goes missing I'll plant a garden in the yard, then They're gluing in roses on a flatbed You should see it I mean thousands I grew up here till it all went up in flames Except the notches and the door frames I don't know when you got taller See your reflection in the water Off the bridge at the Huntington I hopped the fence when I was seventeen Then I knew What I wanted And when I grow up I'm gonna look up from my phone and see my life And it's gonna be just like My recurring dream I'm at the movies I don't remember what I'm seeing The screen turns in to a tidal wave Then it's a dorm room Like a hedge maze And when I find you, you touch my leg And I insist But I wake up before we do it I don't know how but I'm taller It must be something in the water Everything's growing in our garden You don't have to know that it's haunted The doctor put her hands over my liver And she told me my resentments getting smaller No I'm not afraid of hard work And I did everything I want I have everything I wanted

Someday, I'm gonna live In your house up on the hill And when your skinhead neighbor goes missing I'll plant a garden in the yard, then They're gluing in roses on a flatbed You should see it I mean thousands I grew up here 'til it all went up in flames Except the notches on the door frames I don't know when you got taller See your reflection in the water Off the bridge at the Huntington Into the fence when I was seventeen Then I knew What I wanted When I grow up I'm gonna look up from my phone and see my life And it's gonna be just like My recurring dream I'm at the movies I don't remember what I'm seeing The screen turns in to a tidal wave Then it's a dorm room Like a hedge maze And when I find you, you touch my leg And I insist But I wake up before we do it I don't know how but I'm taller It must be something in the water Everything's growing in our garden You don't have to know that it's haunted The doctor put her hands over my liver She told me my resentments getting smaller No I'm not afraid of hard work I did everything I want I have everything I wanted

For a chemical imbalance, you sure know how to ride a train Your revolution is a deathbed and the music is your maid When someone comes a-knockin' with a needle on a tray Only your lonesome lies beside you, for you told me not to stay You are somebody's baby, some mother held you near No, it's not important, they're just pretty words, my dear There is no distraction that can make me disappear No, there's nothing that won't remind you I will always be right here And you spit the blood back Spit the blood back, baby I'm amazed that you're alright Oh, so long, prison boy I won't be home with you tonight We're both very sick, our muscles all worn down It's as if we are one-hundred, know I won't still be around Because I've fallen, yes, I've fallen right into the love I've found Long before I reach one-hundred, I'll have fallen to the ground And for generations, they'll romance us, make us more Or much less than ever was before, The Chelsea and the floor Make us stand before the masses like two speakers for the poor When there was no revolution, nothing we were fighting for And you spit the blood back Spit the blood back, baby I'm amazed that you're alright Oh, so long, prison boy I won't be home, I won't be home I won't be home with you tonight And you can call the service bell When we stay at the Chelsea Hotel And I'll stay out of my own hell Oh, so long, prison boy I won't be home, I won't be home I won't be home with you tonight Tonight

When the speed kicks in I go to the store for nothing And walk right by The house where you lived with Snow White I wonder if she ever thought The storybook tiles on the roof were too much But from the window, it's not a bad show If your favorite thing's Dianetics or stucco The drugstores are open all night The only real reason I moved to the east side I love a good place to hide in plain sight What if I told you I feel like I know you? But we never met And here, everyone knows you're the way to my heart Hear so many stories of you at the bar Most times, alone, and some, looking your worst But never not sweet to the trust funds and punishers Man, I wish that I could say the same I swear I'm not angry, that's just my face A copycat killer with a chemical cut Either I'm careless or I wanna get caught Who I'm not What if I told you I feel like I know you? But we never met It's for the best I can't open my mouth and forget how to talk 'Cause even if I could Wouldn't know where to start Wouldn't know when to stop

Laying down on the lawn I'm tired of trying to get in the house I'm thinking out loud I've been playing dead my whole life And I get this feeling whenever I feel good It'll be the last time But I feel something when I see you now I feel something when I see you If you're a work of art I'm standing too close I can see the brush strokes I hate your mom I hate it when she opens her mouth It's amazing to me how much you can say When you don't know what you're talking about But I feel something when I see you now I feel something when I see you I used to light you up Now I can't even get you to play the drums 'Cause I don't know what I want Until I fuck it up But I feel something when I see you now I feel something I'll climb through the window again But right now it feels good not to stand Then I'll leave it wide open Let the dystopian morning light pour in

Coming back from the country Full of good food and lousy beer This winter's so dry and the dirt road so dusty At the lightest fall of rain, the bacteria bloom You don't have to be alone to be lonesome It's easy to forget The sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window And it's Christmas so no one can fix it Tethered to a table with that happy holiday crowd And it's anchors aweigh Looks like smooth sailing But the merest hint of waves could capsize you You don't have to be alone to be lonesome It's so easy to forget The sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window And it's Christmas so no one can fix it The desire for annihilation Is as common as it is unkind And it's hard to recognize the situation When you're desperately trying to have a good time You don't have to be alone to be lonesome It's so easy to forget The sadness comes crashing like a brick through the window And it's Christmas so no one can fix it Yeah, it's Christmas So no one can fix it
