Plant Life - Owl City

Written by：Adam Young/Matthew Thiessen

I saw a ghost on the stairs

And sheets on the tables and chairs

The silverware swam with the sharks in the sink

Even so I don't know what to think

I've been longing for

Daisies to push through the floor

And I wish plant life would grow all around me

So I won't feel dead anymore

So I won't feel dead anymore

I saw a bear in the den

Readin' my textbooks again

Bats flowed like traffic

As they poured from the attic

Heaven knows I could really use a friend

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings

Would you strum on mine

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

Da da da da

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

Da da da da da da

I've been longing for

I've been longing for

Daisies to push through the floor

I've never really felt like this before

And I wish plant life would grow all around me

So I won't feel dead anymore

So I won't feel dead anymore

Your spirit is sweet

So pull off your sheet

And give me a ghost of a smile

Show me your teeth

Because you're a teddy beneath

So just grin and bear it a while

Just grin and bear it a while

I'd rather waltz than just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings

Would you strum on mine

The brook babbles is on about nothing at all

A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall

Tonight I'm busting out

Of this old haunted house

Because I'm sick of waiting for

All the spider webs to grow all around me

Because I don't feel dead anymore

And I'm not afraid anymore

I'd rather waltz than

Just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo

And they sway in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings

Would you strum on mine

If I were to pluck on your heartstrings

Would you strum on mine
