Indie pop, 92 BPM with subtle 12 BPM shifts between verses and choruses, soft tape warp throughout, F major. Core instrumentation: spring reverb clean electric guitar, melodica for cutesy flourishes, lo-fi Casio drum beats, glockenspiel, warm round bass, bathroom-recorded light percussion, faint field recordings of garden sprinklers and crickets. Male vocals are slightly off-key, warm, conversational, with wobbly heartfelt harmonies. Lyrics follow the earnest, whimsical inner monologue of someone tending to their windowsill succulent collection, debating if their pothos is silently judging their late-night snack choices, laced with gentle nostalgia for a made-up 2019 summer spent arranging tiny terracotta pots, with quiet undertones of gentle melancholy from a missed chance to gift a snake plant to a former roommate.

[Intro] [Verse] Watering the jade plant now Wiping dust from every brow Eating snacks and crackers Pothos for the slackers [Verse] Does it hate my snack choices? Hearing all my inner voices Back in twenty-nineteen June Humming such a simple tune [Chorus] Green leaves on the sill Oh, the way we grow Time is standing still High and then so low The sun begins to spill Where the shadows go [Break] [Verse] Tiny pots in rows of three Just the dirt and you and me Summer air felt sweet and thick Buying clay bricks on the quick [Pre-Chorus] The snake plant stayed behind Locked inside a heavy mind Words I never could quite find Leaving all the grace unsigned [Chorus] Green leaves on the sill Oh, the way we grow Time is standing still High and then so low The sun begins to spill Where the shadows go [Bridge] Do you see the crumbs I drop? Will the growing ever stop? From the bottom to the top Waiting for the heavy flop [Verse] Your room is empty now I forgot to take a bow I should have told you how To keep the green somehow [Chorus] Green leaves on the sill Oh, the way we grow Time is standing still High and then so low The sun begins to spill Where the shadows go [Post-Chorus] The pothos knows it all Watching as the shadows fall Standing very green and tall Against the kitchen wall Maybe I will call you soon Underneath a paper moon [Outro]
