lyrics

i bought a lamp that looks like a crystal ball
i want to see light in my future instead of nothing at all
in the light i see a house with lots of windows
but i wonder what it means that i see myself alone

i'll keep houseplants
keep them growing tall and green and flourishing
maybe one day i can learn to take care of my surroundings

i lay on the couch where my cat sharpens his claws
i wish i could sleep here all day just like he does
i could dream about hangin' out and running away from dogs
instead i sit and dream about who i wish i was

i'll keep houseplants
keep them watered like responsible people do
maybe one day i can love something without begging it to love me too

i'll keep houseplants
keep them alive and healthy and well
maybe one day i'll know how to do the same things for myself
