[Verse 1]
I'm sittin' here lately
Thinkin' about us maybe
Takin' a break was a good thing
We were just children
Following a feeling
Not knowing love could wither away

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking back, it passed so softly
But common strangers we could not see
Just tired of fightin', tired of hangin' on

[Chorus]
But now that you're gone I can see
Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missin'
Come on, baby, baby, come home

[Verse 2]
Being with each other
Soon we discovered just how tryin' it could be
You'd stay up all night and you'd say I was uptight
And soon we were only fightin'
But lookin' back from this side now
I cannot help but wonder how
I thought it was you who was always wrong
But now I see

[Chorus]
Love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving, but there's still hope
Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missin'
Come on, baby, baby, come home

[Bridge]
Well, tough job, broke car, mean boss
And our moms all squeeze like weeds
They get in the way
Well, you're gone and I'm here
I'm missin' you, dear
We took a break; what a mistake
What we needed to do was just make some room for me and you
'Cause I can see

[Chorus]
That love is a garden if you let it go
It fades away before you know
And love is a garden it needs help to grow
Ours is starving but there's still hope
Come on, baby, and I'll feed ya on kisses
Come on, baby, let's make up for what we've been missing
Come on, baby, let's throw away our old cell phones
Let's just stay in bed
Let's just stay home
Come on, baby, baby come home

[Outro]
I'm sittin' here lately
Thinkin' about us
Maybe takin' a break was a bad thing
