Lyrics
I got garden boxes for my backyard
I have garden boxes in my backyard.
I learned some things that me caught me off guard
I discovered surprising things that caught me off guard.
Like placement matters
The placement of plants in the garden matters.
You can't just scatter the seeds
You can't randomly scatter seeds.
They call it companion planting
Refers to the concept of companion planting.
Cause if our roots were intertwined
Imagining roots intertwined in a relationship.
Would you still rip em like you did?
Questioning if the partner would harm the connection.
Cause if you knew you'd grow with mine
If aware of growth together, would harm still occur?
Would you still rather isolation?
Asking if isolation is preferred despite potential growth.
Cause if rotting was what you liked
If decay is preferred, the speaker would comply.
You know that I would give in
Expressing willingness to sacrifice for the relationship.
If it meant watching myself die
Even considering self-destruction for the relationship.
To be by your side
Willingness to be with the partner despite challenges.
I'd do it
Reiterating the commitment to endure difficulties.
Was it just too dark in here?
Questioning if the problem is darkness or excessive tears.
Or were we over watered from my tears?
Wondering if emotional distress affected the relationship.
When you'd grow taller
Observing a dynamic where one grows taller and the other smaller.
I'd get smaller
Desire to remove negative influences despite challenges.
Somehow, I'd still try to pull the weeds out
Commitment to address problems and pull out "weeds" in the relationship.
Cause if our roots were intertwined
Repeating the idea of intertwined roots and potential harm.
Would you still rip em like you did?
Questioning if harm would still occur despite awareness.
Cause if you knew you'd grow with mine
Exploring the theme of isolation versus growth.
Would you still rather isolation?
Considering sacrificing for a preferred but harmful state.
Cause if rotting was what you liked
If decay is desired, the speaker is willing to comply.
You know that I would give in
Reiterating the willingness to sacrifice for the relationship.
If it meant watching myself die
Even considering self-destruction for the relationship.
To be by your side
Willingness to be with the partner despite challenges.
I'd do it
Reiterating the commitment to endure difficulties.
I'd do it
Emphasizing the determination to endure challenges.
Cause we were planted together
Stating that they were planted together but not for the better.
But not for the better
Highlighting the negative impact of the partner's toxicity.
Your toxins went and spread all over my leaves
Toxins spreading and affecting the speaker negatively.
Cause we thought maybe the season
Hoping the season could be a reason to hold onto the relationship.
Could be our one last reason
Seeking a last chance to avoid letting go of shared grief.
To not let go of all that we have grieved
Despite efforts, realizing that the relationship cannot withstand challenges.
Two plants that could not withstand the breeze
Metaphorically comparing the relationship to plants unable to withstand difficulties.
My companion was my disease
Referring to the partner as a disease or a negative influence.
