"Washing Dishes" lyrics - 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

[Chorus 1:]
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
Because I need you to want me the same

[Chorus 1:]
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
Because I'm afraid that

[Chorus 2:]
One day is only two words we say
I don't want to let them get in the way
Of all the plans that we should be making right now
Right now

[Chorus 3:]
Who took the time and where did they take it
I want to take it back
I don't want 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
Because I need you to want me the same

[Chorus 1:]
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

[Chorus 2:]
One day is only two words we say
I don't want to let them get in the way
Of all the plans that we should be making right now
Right now

[Outro:]
Who took the time and where did they take it?
I want to take it back
I don't want them to break it
All these plans that we should be making right now
