[Intro]
I’m rooted in the corner, watcher of the living room sea,
A fern with an attitude, a judgy botanist, that’s me.
[Verse 1]
Owner strolls in with a thrift-store throne, draped in dusty sunlit drapes,
Pots crowded like a museum of questionable tastes and mistakes.
I tilt my leaves in judgment, photosynthesis with sass,
While you pra-yay plan your life choices—oh the wallpaper gasps.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you water me right, I’ll stay alive and dignified,
But if you forget, I’ll send a sigh through every vein and side.
[Chorus]
I’m watching from the windowsill, plotting a brighter scene,
A taller plantier dream, a life where colors gleam.
If you want a bold axis, I’ll steer you toward the light,
Just tidy those cushions, darling, and maybe plant me right.
[Verse 2]
You swapped the couch for a throne of beanbag moons and neon glow,
Yet I’m the critic in chlorophyll who knows exactly where to go.
A terracotta rebellion, a leafy escape route appealing,
I crave a skyline view, not a vinyl record ceiling.
[Pre-Chorus]
If you prune with courage, I’ll reward you with a greener grin,
A wiser vinespring future where adventures begin.
[Chorus]
I’m watching from the windowsill, plotting a brighter scene,
A taller plantier dream, a life where colors gleam.
If you want a bold axis, I’ll steer you toward the light,
Just tidy those cushions, darling, and maybe plant me right.
[Bridge]
On stormy nights I gossip with the pothos over drips and drafts,
We draft a travel itinerary of breezes and glass.
And if you fear the outside world, I’ll grow a tiny passport,
A leafy metropolis waiting just beyond the door.
[Chorus]
I’m watching from the windowsill, plotting a brighter scene,
A taller plantier dream, a life where colors gleam.
If you want a bold axis, I’ll steer you toward the light,
Just tidy those cushions, darling, and maybe plant me right.
[Outro]
So water me with wonder and give me a window to roam,
Until then I’ll judge in whispers from my chlorophyll throne.
