Planting Tomatoes

[Verse 1]

Planting tomatoes in the empty lot

Someone practicing saxophone down the block

They are not good, yet

They are not good, yet

Picking flowers off the shoulder of the road

The 18-wheelers rushing by a little too close

Life is just a series of close calls

One day one will come to end them all

[Chorus]

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

[Verse 2]

Coming together in a circle of hands

Gently pressing palms when the prayer ends

We all say, "Amen"

Say, "Amen"

Subtle pixelation of the world through the screened-in porch

I could sit here for hours

You’ve gotta live the life you’re fighting for

You’ve gotta live a life you would die for

[Chorus]

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

[Verse 3]

Hearing my friends laughing in the distance

I can't help but laugh along without knowing what the joke is

Can't help thinking that I am gonna miss this

Living in the moment, I can feel the moment passing

[Bridge]

Now I'm older than you'll ever be

On a day you will never see

There is so much that I have not lost

One day, I know I will pay the cost

[Chorus]

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas

But before then, I've got some ideas
