Paroles de Flowers

Drove to city hall with my arms all wrapped in Sun Sweat stains on my sleeves and my heartbeat like a drum I parked a block away by the market in the shade To feel myself go walking up to live out love's offered trade We never spent too much, found a dress for twenty bucks White leather thrift store boots on that your mother said she loved There was colour in your face, fished with your father yesterday You stood and we greeted, and I could not look away We were kids when you first saw me I had so much left to learn You call me out when I start falling Light me up and watch me burn Fresh and dry were done our crying Our ribbon’s tied and lets keep tying The flowers from the banks in bloom Our mothers' mothers in the ballroom I swear it's true, I wont stop trying No hesitation, no denying Tired bodies, limbs entwined We'll get fucked up and we'll be fine My friend
