misunderstood / bad communication

Lyrics

[Chorus] There's a pothos in the window, still reaching for the light I couldn't take it with me, so I left it there tonight It's stubborn as a habit, it's greener than goodbye Whoever lives here next, that plant and I refused to die [Verse 2] The key's beneath the mat, the same as always The faucet drips a little, second stair still creaks I patched the screen door where the dog ran through it I never fixed the scratch marks by the sink I hope you like the morning on the back porch I hope you learn the way the floorboards talk [Chorus] There's a pothos in the window, still reaching for the light I couldn't take it with me, so I left it there tonight It's stubborn as a habit, it's greener than goodbye Whoever lives here next, that plant and I refused to die [Bridge] Maybe you'll want to paint the bedroom Maybe you'll pull the whole thing down But that vine's been through a winter I barely made it out of It doesn't need your pity, it just needs a little room [Chorus] There's a pothos in the window, still reaching for the light I couldn't take it with me, so I left it there tonight It's stubborn as a habit, it's greener than goodbye Whoever lives here next, that plant and I refused to die [Outro] So water it in August Don't move it from that spot Whoever lives here next I hope you're someone who can keep what you've got The truck is slowing down now The road turns left, then gone That plant and I are both still here In every leaf I left turned on
