You grew around the window where I used to leave it open
Green at first
I liked the way you found the cracks without me showing
Green at first
Ooh, I let you stay
Thought a little weight could never make me cave
And we both knew that somewhere underneath
I liked the way you needed me

If I could pull you from the plaster, I'd be leaving pieces
If you could read my mind, you'd see how often I release this
You called it comfort, I called it ours
I wasn't careful then
Didn't think I'd ever need a door again
You learned my habits
Started filling every room I had, back then
Every empty space became a place for you

You grew around the window where I used to leave it open
Green at first
I liked the way you found the cracks without me showing
Green at first
Ooh, I let you stay
Thought a little weight could never make me cave
But we both know that somewhere underneath
I fucking miss the person I was underneath

In the hallway, your coat hanging over mine
Your photographs replacing all the frames I'd left behind
You knew what I was thinking before I had the words for it
Made a home inside the parts of me I never offered

You ain't a fucking stranger now
That's what makes it harder to get out
Every room remembers
Every promise has another promise tied around it
I can't tell where you end
Or where I began

The roots are underneath
Don't you remember?
I used to sleep with the window open
Now I measure every breath before I let it in
Still remember when I loved the way you held me
Now I feel the ceiling getting closer every fucking minute

You grew around the window where I used to leave it open
Green at first
I had no reason to believe you'd ever become this heavy
And we started with nothing
Ooh, I let you stay
It's alright to need somebody
But somewhere underneath
I forgot what it was like to need nobody

All the things I didn't mean to give
I gave away
There were rooms I didn't mean to close
But you filled them anyway
Anyway
I've been dreaming of the garden
Dreaming of the garden
Before the vines
I've been dreaming, dreaming
