Adia Clark Lay - Water My Flowers Lyrics

Jumped on a plane last week
Now I'm on day three
Of the last time that we spoke
Last time that we spoke
Got to the hotel I
Thought it'd fly right by
But they weren't here when I woke
Weren't here when I woke

Up up I get
From the bed I made
Grown up I get
But should I have stayed

I asked mom to water my flowers when I'm gone
I asked dad not to forget to turn the light on outside
Before my sister gets back home after she gets her driver's license
I hope that she doesn't grow up as fast as me

I move in next week
Just picked up the key
Didn't shed a single tear
Shed a single tear
I'm making new friends
And making amends
With the people from last year
People from last year

Up up I get
On the elevator
Grown up I get
But I feel like a traitor

Asking mom to water my flowers when I'm gone
Asking dad not to forget to turn the light on outside
Before my sister gets back home after she gets her driver's license
I hope that she doesn't grow up as fast as me

I feel guilty
Moving on from the past
This feels shady
Leaving them like that
But I promised
I'd come home one day
Yeah I promised
I'd walk back through the doorway

Mom says she can't water my flowers when I'm gone
Dad says that he forgot to turn the light on outside
Before my sister got back home after her first high school party
I hope she doesn't grow up as fast as me
And I say turn the light off when you leave
