Washing Dishes lyrics

In the morning when 

the world came awake,

before you knew me, 

I knew your name.

It was painted across 

the day as it breaks,

an impression in your window frame.

When you saw me out your window,

singin' from the garden,

only the beginnin',

I'm only gettin' started.

I don't mind the diggin'.

Baby, I'll work harder.

I've been washin' dishes,

singin' from the bottom,

but one day I'll be runnin' this place

and one day I could take you away.

But I want you to wonder 

what's my name

'cause I need you 

to want me the same.

'Cause when you saw me washin' dishes,

singing from the bottom,

only the beginnin',

I'm only getting started.

I don't mind the diggin'.

Baby, I'll work harder.

I've been in the ashes,

singin' from the garden

where everything reaches for the sun.

Still unsure of what we'll become,

but I need you to reach out to me,

see in me more than I could see.

'Cause I'm afraid that

one day is only two words we say.

I don't wanna let them get in the way

of all these plans that we should be

makin' right now, right now.

'Cause who took the time 

and where did they take it?

I wanna take it back,

I don't wanna let 'em break it.

All these plans that we should be 

makin' right now, right now.

You see now, 

one day I'll be runnin' this place

and one day I could take you away.

But I want you to wonder what's my name

'cause I need you to want me the same.

'Cause when you saw me 

out your window

singin' from the garden, 

only the beginnin',

I'm only getting started.

I don't mind the diggin'.

Baby, I'll work harder.

I've been washing dishes,

singin' from the bottom.

But one day is only two words we say.

I don't wanna let them get in the way

of all the plans that we should be

makin' right now, right now.

But who took the time 

and where did they take it?

Wanna take it back,

I don't wanna let 'em break it.

All these plans that we should be 

making right now.
