Washing Dishes – Jack Johnson
In the morning when the world came awake
Before you knew me I knew your name
It was painted across the day as it breaks
An impression in your window frame
When you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning
I’m only getting started
I don’t mind the digging
Baby, I’ll work harder
I’ve been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
But one day I’ll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what’s my name
‘Cause I need you to want me the same
‘Cause when you saw me washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
Only the beginning
I’m only getting started
I don’t mind the digging
Baby, I’ll work harder
I’ve been in the ashes
Singing from the garden
Where everything reaches for the sun
Still unsure of what we’ll become
But I need you to reach out to me
See in me more than I could see
‘Cause I’m afraid that
One day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now
Whose who took the time and where did they take it
Want to take it back
I don’t want to let them to break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now
You see one day I’ll be running this place
And one day I could take you away
But I want you to wonder what’s my name
‘Cause I need you to want me the same
‘Cause when you saw me out your window
Singing from the garden
Only the beginning
I’m only getting started
I don’t mind the digging
Baby, I’ll work harder
I’ve been washing dishes
Singing from the bottom
But one day is only two words we say
I don’t want to let them get in the way
All these plans that we should be making right now
Right now
Who took the time and where did they take it
Want to take it back
I don’t want to let them to break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
