Lyrics
Intro - soft acoustic fingerpicking, single cello note, warm, unhurried, morning light feeling
Verse 1 - pastoral folk, warm intimate male vocals, quiet wonder, unhurried
The concrete cracked
And something grew
A yellow thing
I never knew the name of
The birds came back
Before I noticed
Filling up the quiet
I forgot was there
I made two cups
Because you were coming
And sat down in the rubble
Like it was a chair
Pre-Chorus - strings entering gently, something opening
I waited all my life
For the weight to lift
I just didn't know
It would take all of this
Chorus - pastoral folk swell, gentle strings, warm and quietly revelatory
If you've lost everything
Come sit down a while
The flowers don't know
What they grew through to get here
They just grew
If you've lost everything
Maybe look around
Sometimes the ending
Was just clearing the ground
For the last spring
The last spring
That turns out to be
The first one
Verse 2 - warmer, more certain, the realization settling
I had a list once
Things I owed the world
Versions of myself
I had to keep performing
The list is gone now
Somewhere in the rubble
And I keep meaning
To go find it
But the tea is hot
And you'll be back soon
And a bird just landed
Three feet away
And looked at me
Like we were neighbors
Pre-Chorus - fuller strings, gentle certainty
I grieved for what I lost
I won't pretend I didn't
But somewhere in the grief
I found the morning
Chorus - fuller, warmer, pastoral folk gentle swell
If you've lost everything
Come sit down a while
The flowers don't know
What they grew through to get here
They just grew
If you've lost everything
Maybe look around
Sometimes the ending
Was just clearing the ground
For the last spring
The last spring
That turns out to be
The first one
Bridge - just voice and single guitar, most intimate moment
I know what it feels like
When the walls come down
I know what it costs
To lose the ground
But I'm sitting here
In the wreckage
Drinking tea
And I think—
I think I'm okay
I think I'm actually
For the first time
Okay
Final Chorus - full pastoral folk, strings swelling warm, gentle and certain
If you've lost everything
Come sit down a while
The flowers grew back
They grew back anyway
They just grew
If you've lost everything
Look what remained
The quiet, the morning
Someone who stayed
The last spring
The last spring
Is the one where you finally
Get to just be
Get to just breathe
Get to just—
stay
Outro - fingerpicking alone, cello fading, birds, silence, warm
The tea is still hot
There's a cup for you too
Come sit
Come sit
