Daisy
Tigers in the Sky Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Daisy, remember when I had lots of friends?
Late night, fist fights
We thought that this would never end

Daisy, remember when I said I'd make it someday?
These little songs, sing-alongs, they'll get us there some way
Sometimes things change for the worst
Our lives were filled with so much hurt

Johnny don't forget you and I are still best friends
Envelopes of empty hopes are filling up our back bins
Money aint no thing when it comes to us
It's a shame our love was not enough

We'll grow old anyway x2

Daisy, I cut myself open again
I think I'm missing my best friend
I'm just a wreck without my friends

Johnny, you got some kissin up to do
You know that I'm still lovin you
You know that I'm still lovin you





We'll grow old anyway x2

Overall Meaning

The song "Daisy" by Tigers in the Sky tells a story of nostalgia and regret. The singer looks back on their past, reminiscing about the good times they had with their friends and the dreams they once had. But now, their life has changed, and they are filled with hurt, loneliness, and self-doubt. They wish for the comfort of their old friends, but they also acknowledge that things have changed, and they are not sure if they can ever get back what they lost.


The chorus of the song repeats, "We'll grow old anyway," which speaks to the inevitability of our lives moving forward, regardless of our desires or regrets. The lyrics also hint at the idea that the singer may have lost someone close to them, or they may be struggling with mental health issues. The line, "Daisy, I cut myself open again," could be interpreted as a reference to self-harm.


Overall, "Daisy" is a melancholic yet honest reflection on the past, present, and future. It speaks to the universal themes of friendship, change, and the passage of time.
