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.
