lyrics
I donned a shade
And killed the flowers in your hair
When they sprung quickly
Catching me unprepared
I didn’t have all that it took
To nurture every blooming bud
Or the will to keep them strong
Once your crown had fully grown
Pieces fell all over the floor
And made a carpet of your sorrow
I rolled it up and tucked it under your arm
The hard wood flooring was no place for our problems
And later on we laid it out
And slept on it
“I’ll get back to you in the morning” I said
Promising love after sleep
You made it look easy
It wasn’t easy on me at all
Turning pillows over in my head
Looking for what I missed
I can’t seem to find anything
Anywhere, anyways
I was standing on the tip of my tongue
Until I found the words at the back of my mouth
At the root of it all it was only love
And what I was afraid we swept under the rug
So I’ll tell you everything that I know
So easy said, but better left untold
I’m losing all the touch in my toes
From sitting on the fence for too long
I hope you find the shade that I found
And killed the flowers in your hair
When they sprung quickly
Catching me unprepared
I didn’t have all that it took
To nurture every blooming bud
Or the will to keep them strong
Once your crown had fully grown
Pieces fell all over the floor
And made a carpet of your sorrow
I rolled it up and tucked it under your arm
The hard wood flooring was no place for our problems
And later on we laid it out
And slept on it
“I’ll get back to you in the morning” I said
Promising love after sleep
You made it look easy
It wasn’t easy on me at all
Turning pillows over in my head
Looking for what I missed
I can’t seem to find anything
Anywhere, anyways
I was standing on the tip of my tongue
Until I found the words at the back of my mouth
At the root of it all it was only love
And what I was afraid we swept under the rug
So I’ll tell you everything that I know
So easy said, but better left untold
I’m losing all the touch in my toes
From sitting on the fence for too long
I hope you find the shade that I found
