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
