Sunflower Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1
Last night you told me you love me
The darkest part of the city
Lit up like candles down the street.

(haaa)

Whispered your name into the night
As I drove home I called you mine
It tasted sweet like holy wine.

(ahhh)
Pre-chorus
Every rumour is true
No one for me but you
Everybody knows
You got a lot to prove

Chorus
And you got to, get yourself together
cause baby it’s, now or never
You gotta, get yourself together
and maybe we can do a little better

You got to get yourself together
cause baby I’m not gonna wait forever
Want you to meet me in the middle
and get yourself together, darling

Verse 2
I’m gonna cross my every line
I know I cannot live a lie
You’re in every corner of my mind

I know you wanna make a change
I know you cannot stay the same
And I know you want the love we make

(woahhhh)
Pre-Chorus
Every hearsay is cruel
Nothing to do but choose
Everybody knows
You got a lot to prove

Chorus
And you got to, Get yourself together
cause Baby it’s, now or never
You gotta, get yourself together
and maybe we can do a little better

You got to get yourself together
cause baby I’m not gonna wait forever
Want you to meet me in the middle
And get yourself together, darling

Refrain
And you got to, Get yourself together
cause Baby it’s, now or never
You gotta, get yourself together
and maybe we can do a little better

You got to get yourself together
cause baby I’m not gonna wait forever
Want you to meet me in the middle
And get yourself together, darling

Outro
Oh darling, yeah darling, oh darling
You got to, get yourself together
cause baby I'm not gonna wait forever,




Want you to meet me in the middle
and get yourself together darling
