I Will Be a Houseplant

I will be a houseplant reaching for your hand
You will be the weather raining on the land
I will be a ripple someone surfs
You will be the sunbeam tumbling to the earth

But if you are a bob cat
Who has me in their sight
I won't hesitate
If you recognise me
If you let me
I'd love you then too
I already

I will be a French girl platting my hair
You will be a Jew
Think about when you pray
You will be a birdsong
And the lump in my throat
In the early hours song
I remember that melody from somewhere

But if you are a siren
And I have sailed to your side
I won't hesitate if you recognise me
If you let me, I'll love you then too
I already do

I will be the insect who won't leave your car
