washing dishes

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

singing from the garden

only the beginning

i'm only getting started

i don't mind the digging

baby

i'll work harder

i've been washing dishes

singing from the bottom

but one day i'll be running 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 washing dishes

singing from the bottom

only the beginning

i'm only getting started

i don't mind the digging

baby

i'll work harder

i've been in the ashes

singing 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 want to let them get in the way

all these plans that we should be making right now

right now

whose who took the time and where did they take it

want to take it back

i don't want to let them to break it

all these plans that we should be making right now

right now

you see one day i'll be running 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

singing from the garden

only the beginning

i'm only getting started

i don't mind the digging

baby

i'll work harder

i've been washing dishes

singing from the bottom

but one day is only two words we say

i don't want to let them get in the way

all these plans that we should be making right now

right now

who took the time and where did they take it

want to take it back

i don't want to let them to break it

all these plans that we should be making right now
