Flowers
Pete And Royce Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I want you to be most everything
I know that sometimes you feel lonely even so
We're rushing around in daylight, we're trying to get it all just right
We're working so hard to make the flowers grow
And through these trees the wind will blow
From fallen seeds new things will grow
My eye's twitching i run so madly
There's always somewhere to go with so-and-so
My head is buzzing and somethings rattling in my car
I want to reach out now and slow this world
I keep reaching up from the sinking swirl
Like a child who spun too much I'm on the ground
And we'll be gone one day, this path with lead will fade away
100 years will come and go, from fallen seeds new things will grow
I've been captivated, confiscated, knockdown hard
And self be rated, broken back and smacked and jaded
Complemented and elated, held on high and supplemented
High on drugs somewhat demented, driven down and search back strongly
Overstepped and done some wrongly
And I've loved, I've loved, I loved, I've loved, I've really loved
I really loved, I really loved, I really loved, I really loved you so

Complemented and elated, held on high and supplemented
I have received praise and felt joy, been valued and encouraged
High on drugs somewhat demented, driven down and search back strongly
I have been influenced by drugs and have struggled, but always fought back
Overstepped and done some wrongly
I have made mistakes and have regrets
And I've loved, I've loved, I loved, I've loved, I've really loved
I have experienced and given love intensely
I really loved, I really loved, I really loved, I really loved you so
I have deeply loved you and still do
