[Verse 1] Privacy from whom You mumble at the news “Give up our safety They’ll take it anyway” But I’m stuck on the dandelions And that broken garden gate You say “Gotta fix the yard” Then you sink into the couch and wait [Chorus] Forget the lawn Let it grow wild Your body I care about The yard can go to seed Your body I worship Let the rest go Let it breathe Thank God for a hammock... that You never use are we Just swaying through I don’t want a perfect life I just want more time with you (yeah) [Verse 2] You list all the little jobs Like beads on a busted chain Paint’s cracked on the shutters Sprinkler’s busted open (ran over it with the old lawn mover!) robot is stuck in the rain You daily say “I gotta lay down” Like it’s some kind of sin Heck no Not today I’m pulling you back in (walk outside or let us go - rest, heal, because you gotta -) [Chorus] Forget the lawn Let it grow wild it is - Your body I care about The yard can go to seed Your body I worship Let the rest go Let it breathe Thank God for a dream of a hammock You never use (today I see you get out of the car) Just swaying through (this life , right now) I don’t want a perfect house I just want this perfect you (oh you)
