Orchids (Demo) lyrics

[Verse 1]
I watch us from the dark garden
Through the living room windows
We are dancing, you are laughing
Reveling in the novelty of my abandon
This is new, you think
I see your frown encroaches on your smile
Or very old, you think
But the worry's just a weed
You are spun around the room
I am static in the flowerbed
You are crying laughing now
And I am trying not to trample on the orchids

[Verse 2]
I am cold and it begins to rain
I pull my jacket closer
You are snuggled on the couch with me and dozing
Visibly relieved
And I'm relieved as well, in my way
I try to catch my eye
But there's just no getting through to me
And this is good, I think
Hiding from the lights of passing cars
If I can't live it
Well, I guess I'll watch it from afar
And you are warm, you are happy
You are safe inside with me
I am trying
I am trying not to trample on the orchids
[Verse 3]
And as you sleep, I watch me blinking
In the television light
And maybe get a little taller
A little younger 'round the eyes
This is new, I think
Or something very very old
But the worry's just a weed
And I retreat into the cold
This is good, I think
In a way, a second start
If I can't live it
Well, I guess I'll watch it from afar
You are warm, you are happy
You are safe, at least I hope
And I am trying
I am trying
I am trying
Not to trample on the orchids
Not to trample on the orchids
