Poppy Native:
Tell me what you want
I can make it true to you
When you feel
Close or near
I feel it always too
I don’t want you to go
I know you have to go so
I'll wait for you at home
And when you get so close
And when you get so close, it’s like a new hello
Verse 1:
I wake up early just to see you sleeping
You’re a blessing
Now I’m second-guessing me leaving
I’m really back to probing initial thoughts
God knows I’m reconciling my secular feelings with your spiritual force
I pray for you every morning, I know you battle things
Maybe in your dream mind’s the only place you seem fine
Each of these moments I savor, before I’m off to work
I wish I could remain here, to stay and be flame here
To warm your flesh
Pull the weeds from around your seeds
So you can re-imagine you after you feel reprieve
But I won’t wake you
Don’t know what moment from which I would take you
Doing reality’s hard, so I won’t make you
I put the love I have for you in sonnet form
So you can spin this record later with your bonnet on
And just before I drift away, I feel you reach for me
And see your eyes open peacefully
To that I say... Hello baby
Poppy Native:
Take your pain away
So longer, much longer
I feel you come stronger
Float away all your worry today
I wish you could stay
Verse 2:
Holy woman, you’re the subject of a sinner’s prayer
Poetic passages glimmer on different packages
Addressed to you
My mother culture, ultra, a darker hue
On heirs property, I should properly walk with you
To see the land our people handed down
We should stand around
Flooded with a growing pride
Even during lower tide
There's not a carriage ride that tramples over truths embedded in your roots
You’ve given so much, you should recoup
So I’ll stay and pull these weeds from around your seeds
So you can re-imagine you after you feel reprieve
But I won’t wake you
Don’t know what moment from which I would take you
Doing reality’s hard so I won’t make you
But I'll put the love I have for you in sonnet form
So you can spin this record later with your bonnet on
And just before I drift away, I felt you reach for me
And I saw your eyes open peacefully
To that I say... Hello baby
