"How The Melody Goes" lyrics

Well, that potted plant in your bedroom
Isn't getting nearly enough sunlight, and neither are you
It's been sitting there at your bedside
Hoping you might notice it's wilting
And think that it's time for you both to sit on the front lawn
And listen to a podcast about all the crime that went on
Back in 1800
And both you and the plant are glad to be sunny

And it all sorta felt like a song that you heard
A real long time ago
And you can't quite remember the lyrics
But you know how the melody goes
And you've got no way to find it
'Cause you don't know who it's by
And you want so badly to hear it
Just to hear it one more time

Well, that movie you wanted to watch
But never really got around to it is finally on
It's about some guy and a girl
And you watch it alone and pretend to be her
And when it's finally over
You pass out on the couch and you sleep yourself sober
'Cause you work in seven hours
And the plant in your bedroom, it starts to grow flowers

And it all sorta felt like a song that you heard
A real long time ago
And you can't quite remember the lyrics
But you know how the melody goes
And you've got no way to find it
'Cause you don't know who it's by
And you want so badly to hear it
Just to hear it one more time
And it all sorta felt like a song that you heard
A real long time ago
And you can't quite remember the lyrics
But you know how the melody goes
And you've got no way to find it
'Cause you don't know who it's by
And you want so badly to hear it
Just to hear it one more time
