Lyrics
I'm laying in my bed
The clock says it's 2 AM
Snoozing soundly, but to my surprise
In a moment I begin to open my eyes
I lay entirely
Still expecting to go back to sleep
But I make a sad discovery
I am very very thirsty
My throat is dry like a desert
But I don't want to get out of bed
If I get up and get a drink of water
I won't get this comfy again
As I sit, I cannot help this
But I start to become envious
Of a succulent or other kind of green rooted
Thing in a situation like this
I wanna photosynthesize
Like a plant does
I wanna let out carbon dioxide
And take in the sun
I wanna have a stable root system
And drink water whenever I want
Oh, photosynthesis
I wanna be a plant
What an incredible scientific process
I wanna take part in that awesomeness
But unfortunately I can't
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
So I can't
So I can't
I'm not a plant, I'm not a plant, I'm not a plant
So I can't
Do you ever wanna be
Something like a tree
Have hard bark on your outside
And not this fragile, fleshy hide?
Do you ever wanna become
An oak or a rhododendron
Or even a flower, like a rose or some different one?
Roots, petals, leaves, yeah, that's the one
I wanna photosynthesize
Like a plant does
I wanna let out carbon dioxide
And take in the sun
I wanna have a stable root system
And drink water whenever I want
Oh, photosynthesis
I wanna be a plant
What an incredible scientific process
I wanna take part in that awesomeness
But unfortunately I can't
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
So I can't
So I can't
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
I'm not a plant
So I can't
So I can't
I'm not a plant, I'm not a plant, I'm not a plant
So I can't
