Garden On the Kitchen Floor

I still remember the day that we picked up the keys
We got lost on the way in your old 93
Didn't ask for the world just a corner to sleep
Making lullabies from the sound of the street

We had a bar by the fridge we could reach from the bed
And a fire escape for our Marlborough reds
Yeah we'd get what we'd give and we took what we'd get
We didn't know that's as good as it gets

Way back when
We had what we needed
But never believed ourselves
When we said
When we said

We got one bed, four walls, we're late on the rent
Three jobs between us no money to spend
I stole you flowers from the house next door
Just to make us a garden on the kitchen floor
I know ten down the line we'll be looking back
Missing what we never even knew we had
A couple flowers on the kitchen floor
We had everything we needed and more
We used to dream of the days when the money would flow
Buy a house so big we'd get lost at the door
We were dreamers
Didn't know it would leave us
Way back then?
We had what we needed
But never believed ourselves
When we said
When we said

We got one bed, four walls, we're late on the rent
Three jobs between us no money to spend
I stole you flowers from the house next door
Just to make us a garden on the kitchen floor

I know ten down the line we'll be looking back
Missing what we never even knew we had
A couple flowers on the kitchen floor
We had everything we needed and more
Oh what a life
When you stop for a moment and finally notice
Oh what a life that we led

We got one bed, four walls, we're late on the rent
Three jobs between us no money to spend
I stole you flowers from the house next door
Just to make us a garden on the kitchen floor

I know ten down the line we'll be looking back
Missing what we never even knew we had
A couple flowers on the kitchen floor
We had everything we needed and more
Everything we needed and more
You were everything I needed and more
On the kitchen floor
