Lyrics
We were the hardy annuals
In the cracks of the boulevard
[Verse 1]
The price on the mint tea at Marché Barbès keeps going up.
We prune back the hours, another small cut from the cup.
The steam from the metro vent on a Tuesday in March
Still smells like the promise we used to hold in our heart.
[Chorus]
We were the hardy annuals
In the cracks of the boulevard
[Verse 2]

We were the hardy annuals
In the cracks of the boulevard
[Bridge]
The soil goes dormant, but the roots still remember the plan.
Just companion planting 'til the sun comes around again.
[Outro]
In the cracks of the boulevard...
In the cracks of the boulevard...
