High Expectations
Tell me what you're waiting for You tended your garden. You've planted No ferns nor carnations Just high expectations Till they came to overgrow All other intentions. You mentioned It's been a frustration You're lost in stagnation Nowhere to plant The small seed in your hand Though you know of its grace If you want its growth, go and give it space ln the seed there is a gorgeous plan Of a trunk, of a crown and roots It will grow for as long as it can Bearing blossom and bearing fruits Take another look around An effort deciphering the nature Of your expectations Though you've lost your patience Dig a spade into the ground SongtexteAnd tear out what's casting a shadow On hopes and temptations — Your savaged plantations You're holding a seed That might grow to exceed All the grace in the yard If you give it space, growth can finally start In the seed there is a gorgeous plan Of a trunk, of a crown and roots It will grow for as long as it can Bearing blossom and bearing fruits Give the seed the protection it needs to thrive Learn to love imperfection as a part of life Tell me what you're waiting for You tended your garden. You've planted No ferns nor carnations Just high expectations Till they came to overgrow All other intentions. You mentioned You'll wait for the right time You'll wait all your lifetime (Dank an blocard für den Text) Aus Songtexte Mania
