Sunflower
Heart Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sunflower
Blooming in your finest hour
You have come into your power
And you spill it over me

Such petals
Standing shameless in the air
Catch the eyes of other lovers
With the colors that you wear

I have only seen you grow
From the seed I used to know
In the burning breath of summer
Gardens off to glow

Sunflower
Just the way you speak my name
I will never be the same
Oh yeah

Sunflower
Never steal your eyes away
Even when the seasons change
A little sun, a little rain

I have only seen you grow
From the seed I used to know
In the burning breath of summer
In the gardens off to glow

Sunflower
A little sun, a little rain
(Even when the seasons change)
Even when the seasons change
Sunflower




Even when the seasons change
A little sun, a little rain
