Lyrics
Still watering your ghost in my living room
This damn fig tree is still in bloom
I should've thrown it out with your worn-out shoes
Still watering the ghost of you
[Verse 1]
That Fiddle Leaf Fig from the nursery off Ponce,
It's taller than me now, which is all that it wants.
Its roots all plaited in that cheap plastic pot,
The last green thing that our money bought.
[Chorus]
Still watering your ghost in my living room
This damn fig tree is still in bloom
I should've thrown it out with your worn-out shoes
Still watering the ghost of you
[Verse 2]
Last Tuesday in April, a new leaf unfurled,
Waxy and perfect in this broken-down world.
You said, "Babe, don't you overwater it," a half-joking threat,
A lesson in pruning I haven't learned yet.
[Bridge]
And I hate that I tend to it, I hate that I care,
This companion plant in the stale winter air.
It's bolting to seed and I'm just standing here,
Angry at this stupid, beautiful tear.
[Chorus]
Still watering your ghost in my living room
This damn fig tree is still in bloom
I should've thrown it out with your worn-out shoes
Still watering the ghost of you
[Outro]
The soil is still good.
Damn it all, the soil is still good.
