[Verse 1: Jamila Woods]

I put my hand by yours, so you know I wanna hold it

I say my prayers at night, but I know who controls it

I'm fallin' hard for you, but I know I don't show it

I'll take your love for me, but I know I don't own it


[Pre-Chorus: Jamila Woods]

It's not gonna be a big production

It's not butterflies or fireworks

Said it's gonna be a tiny garden

But I'll feed it everyday

I'll feed it


[Chorus: Jamila Woods]

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, and I lead you on

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, I don't mean to

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, and I'm scared to rush

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, but I need you


[Verse 2: Jamila Woods]

Doesn't matter what you say, doesn't matter what your friends say

Something's wrong with the pace, you fall in love everyday now

I think of you when I wake, a premonition of fate

I put my flaws on display to scare you away

You put your feelings on hold, winter came and it got cold

You wanna be sure that I'm sure, that I want you

Not just someone fun to do, someone to hold in zero below

You ask why I'm so cold? Iceberg heart, but look below

Iceberg heart, but look below, I'm sure


[Pre-Chorus: Jamila Woods]

It's not gonna be a big production

It's not butterflies or fireworks

Said it's gonna be a tiny garden

But I'll feed it everyday

I'll feed it


[Chorus: Jamila Woods]

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, and I lead you on

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, I don't mean to

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, and I'm scared to rush

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, but I need you


[Bridge: duendita]

Water us so we may rise deeper in ourselves each night

Listen close and listen right

Don't wanna bring anything from our past lives, I, I, I, I

Cyphing the J down, yeah, it's a vibe

Watch all the purpose we place multiply

Slowly over time

The seed has all the information

Yeah, I really wrote a weird verse

Lemme heal first

Then return to the space that we make

And you know I wake up and I give God His praise

For making you

And making your mom too

And for making me, yeah, I gotta sing His name

I'ma pull up right now and we celebrate

Then he put the pipe down and I'm okay

So if I'm awkward just let me rock, let me be


[Pre-Chorus: Jamila Woods]

It's not gonna be a big production (Gonna be)

It's not butterflies or fireworks (Butterflies or)

Said it's gonna be a tiny garden (Gonna be a)

But I'll feed it everyday

I'll feed it


[Chorus: Jamila Woods]

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, and I lead you on

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, I don't mean to

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, and I'm scared to rush

Everyday, I'll feed it, everyday, I will

Oh, but I need you


[Outro: Jamila Woods]

Caught me under waters more

I know my heart is slow
