The flowers you pick, and the people you miss Each petal pulled is a confirmation Ordered tonight, ordered tonight Whisper secrets into tangled hair Glitter eyes blinking mysteries I see, I'm seeing I can't stop thinking about sunflowers They line the streets in my dreams and grow taller than me You roll your r's and I'll try to whistle Though no sound can come between me and my front teeth So give back the keys, before we get in trouble A circus tent, and you're smoking in bed And all the walls are red I can't stop thinking about sunflowers They line the streets in my dreams and grow taller than me They are taller than me Standing in the blackberry bushes Thorns cutting my clothes I woke up in the afternoon with colors on my palms Did you know, that lines are stories being told? You were meant to swim up stream North is south, east is west You'll be bent, don't be bent Fighting the current I can't stop thinking about sunflowers They line the streets in my dreams and grow taller than me They are taller than me Taller than me
