lyrics

I’m holding memories of my dead friends
They follow me around help me with my plans

We’ve spend so many hours
Worrying about
Our expiration date

Let me live like the flowers
We blossom and we bloom
life bows
and we decay

It’s the time of the world
You better hold ‘‘em all near
Hate to think about you always living in fear

I’m holding memories of my dead friends
They follow me around
Help me with my plans

Wherever do we go
whenever our
heart
stops
beating

Please
let me
live
Inside of your
House
Plants

Ones that you adore
and that you talk to.
I’ll live on in the leaves

Photosynthesizing light to energy
Communicating in ways you can’t hear or see
But you’ll feel me
When you breathe

I’m holding memories of my dead friends
They follow me around, help me with my plans


When I die, I’m gonna haunt you
Fade in an out like a radio signal,

And in the night
I’ll visit you in your dreams
Soak your subconscious
With moonbeams

Your hands’ll tingle
and my voice will soar
with every dress you touch
at the
thrift store.

When you’re living your best life
you’ll get distracted by a ray of light

when you drive into a rainbow
that’s
when
you will know

You’re holding memories of me
I’m your friend
I’ll follow you around
Help you with your plan

We are stardust
We are golden
And we’ve got to get ourselves
Back to the garden
