Sunflower

Six acres of concrete wasteland

One sunflower standing tall

I didn't know your name

I didn't know your fame, I just liked you (that's all)

I can not buy you diamond rings

For Christ sake! I can barely sing

I feel like a teenager in danger

Of doing that falling for thing

I didn't mean for this to happen

But the greatest things happen

By accident, like the apple on Issac's head

We sat for hours, you measured your thumb against mine

Electricity, shooting down my spine

We sat for hours, we waited 'til the sun went down

Alighted the night bus, nowhere near this town

Six acres of concrete wasteland

One sunflower standing tall

I didn't know your name, I didn't know your fame

I just proper liked you

That's all

We talked historys and pasts

I let you read the second draft

Converging through the afternoon

We sat for hours

You measured your thumb against mine

Electricity, shooting down my spine

We sat for hours, you weathered my monologue

A burning beacon, burning through the fog

Standing out from the crowd. That's just the way you are

To look back I should not be around, I'll {open} movie star

The girls that call in envy, the guys that call in envy

Be la de da de daa de da dee doooh

We sat for hours, you measured your thumb against mine

Electricity, shooting down my spine

We sat for hours, we waited 'til the sun went down

Alighted the night bus, nowhere near this town

Six acres of concrete wasteland

One sunflower standing tall

I didn't know your name I didn't know your fame

I just liked you, that's all
