Lyrics

The sidewalk’s a river, a hundred feet wide
And I’m standing here frozen, caught in the tide
The taxis all screaming in different keys
A symphony built for confusing me
But I hear your voice like a distant bell
Cutting the signal, breaking the spell
A simple instruction you gave me last week
Is holding me steady, so to speak
And I’m holding it close now, this quiet decree
As the traffic builds up to a deafening C
It’s a small piece of soil in the palm of my hand
I’m trying to plant it where nobody can
I’m a seed in the concrete, growing slow to the beat
Yeah, the lesson you gave me is finding its feet
In the noise and the neon
(I’m a seed, I’m a seed)
, a practical truth
(I’m a seed, I’m a seed)
Your chalk-dust advice is the ultimate proof
(Growing slow, growing slow)
So I’m whispering back to the guy at the stand
The way that you showed me, to offer a hand
He looks at me sideways, a suspicious glare
But the change in his pocket feels lighter than air
And the woman who’s rushing and checking her phone
I catch her eye just before she is gone
A shared little moment, a flicker of grace
It softens the worry I see on her face
And it’s starting to work now, this practical art
A green in the grey, a still-beating heart
The theory you spoke of, it isn’t just sound
It’s a flower determined to break through the ground
I’m a seed in the concrete, growing slow to the beat
Yeah, the lesson you gave me is finding its feet
In the noise and the neon (I’m a seed, I’m a seed)
a practical truth
(I’m a seed, I’m a seed)
Your chalk-dust advice is the ultimate proof
(Growing slow, growing slow)
Now the sirens are just violins, playing slightly sharp
And the headlights are fireflies in the city dark
The pavement’s a canvas, the cracks are the lines
And your voice is the melody running through my mind
I’m a seed in the concrete, growing slow to the beat
Yeah, the lesson you gave me is out on the street!
In the noise and the neon
(I’m a seed! I’m a seed!)
, a practical truth!
(I’m a seed! I’m a seed!)
Your chalk-dust advice is the ultimate proof!
(Growing slow… to the beat…)
