Washing Dishes Songtext / Lyric

In the morning when the world came awake

Before you knew me I knew your name

It was painted across the day as it breaks

An impression in your window frame



When you saw me out your window

Singing from the garden

Only the beginning

I'm only getting started

I don't mind the digging

Baby, I'll work harder

I've been washing dishes

Singing from the bottom



But one day I'll be running this place

And one day I could take you away

But I want you to wonder what's my name

Because I need you to want me the same






When you saw me washing dishes

Singing from the bottom

Only the beginning

I'm only getting started

I don't mind the digging

Baby, I'll work harder

I've been in the ashes

Singing from the garden



Where everything reaches for the sun

Still unsure of what we'll become

But I need you to reach out to me

See in me more than I could see

Because I'm afraid that



One day is only two words we say

I don't want to let them get in the way

Of all the plans that we should be making right now

Right now



Who took the time and where did they take it

I want to take it back

I don't want them to break it

All these plans that we should be making right now

Right now



You see one day I'll be running this place

And one day I could take you away

But I want you to wonder what's my name

Because I need you to want me the same



When you saw me out your window

Singing from the bottom

Only the beginning

I'm only getting started

I don't mind the digging

Baby, I'll work harder

I've been washing dishes

Singing from the bottom



One day is only two words we say

I don't want to let them get in the way

Of all the plans that we should be making right now

Right now



Who took the time and where did they take it

I want to take it back

I don't want them to break it

All these plans that we should be making right now
