Plant Life
Owl City

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

Reading my textbooks again

The bats float like traffic

As they pour from the attic

Heaven knows I could really use a friend


I'd rather waltz then just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they swayed in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heart strings

Would you strum on mine?


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

Cause you're a teddy beneth

So just grin and bare it awhile

Just grin and bare it awhile


I'd rather waltz then just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they swayed in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heart strings

Would you strum on mine?


(Babbles on about nothing at all)

(A new leaf turns over unwilling to fall)


Tonight I'm busting out

Of this old haunted house

Cause I'm sick of waiting for

All those spider webs

To grow all around me

Cause I don't feel dead anymore

And I'm not afraid anymore


I'd rather waltz then just walk through the forest

The trees keep the tempo and they swayed in time

Quartet of crickets chime in for the chorus

If I were to pluck on your heart strings

Would you strum on mine?


If I were to pluck on your heart strings

Would you strum on mine?
