lyrics

When it's summer, summer in the city
Follow me down side streets
Where the weeds threaten to take over

Crack in the sidewalk, you are just like milkweed
You are in your season
Breaking through foundations in the ground

Flower or weed, who could say?
I couldn't tear you away

Someone stole you, I have my suspicions
Stole you from my soil
But I couldn't choose your way to grow

You wanted danger, and you wanted safety
You grew up like a lever
Hanging out over the road

Flower or weed, who could know?
Just wish I told you to go

Would you listen? Would you be returning?
Cooling down from burning?
Milkweed growing roots without a sound

You might be poison. You might be the only
Nourishment I'd ever see
Before my turn to join you underground

Flower or week, who could tell?
I guess you lost me as well
