Poppy Native:

Tell me what you want

I can make it true to you

When you feel

Close or near

I feel it always too

I don’t want you to go

I know you have to go so

I'll wait for you at home

And when you get so close

And when you get so close, it’s like a new hello

Verse 1:

I wake up early just to see you sleeping

You’re a blessing

Now I’m second-guessing me leaving

I’m really back to probing initial thoughts

God knows I’m reconciling my secular feelings with your spiritual force

I pray for you every morning, I know you battle things

Maybe in your dream mind’s the only place you seem fine

Each of these moments I savor, before I’m off to work

I wish I could remain here, to stay and be flame here

To warm your flesh

Pull the weeds from around your seeds

So you can re-imagine you after you feel reprieve

But I won’t wake you

Don’t know what moment from which I would take you

Doing reality’s hard, so I won’t make you

I put the love I have for you in sonnet form

So you can spin this record later with your bonnet on

And just before I drift away, I feel you reach for me

And see your eyes open peacefully

To that I say... Hello baby

Poppy Native:

Take your pain away

So longer, much longer

I feel you come stronger

Float away all your worry today

I wish you could stay

Verse 2:

Holy woman, you’re the subject of a sinner’s prayer

Poetic passages glimmer on different packages

Addressed to you

My mother culture, ultra, a darker hue

On heirs property, I should properly walk with you

To see the land our people handed down

We should stand around

Flooded with a growing pride

Even during lower tide

There's not a carriage ride that tramples over truths embedded in your roots

You’ve given so much, you should recoup

So I’ll stay and pull these weeds from around your seeds

So you can re-imagine you after you feel reprieve

But I won’t wake you

Don’t know what moment from which I would take you

Doing reality’s hard so I won’t make you

But I'll put the love I have for you in sonnet form

So you can spin this record later with your bonnet on

And just before I drift away, I felt you reach for me

And I saw your eyes open peacefully

To that I say... Hello baby
