California Poppy
I used to think we were too similar for you to love me enough
Had a hard time thinking what it must've been like to see me grow up
But now that I'm a little older I understand it more clear
We've both learned how to take it day by day, year by year
Oh, California poppy
The most beautiful thing in bloom
I've watched you from behind the trees
It's good to see you look so new
The singer of all things silly
Easily moved
I've watched you shielded from the rain and I wanna be just like you
I said, "I think you'd like my dad"
"Is he as quirky as you?"
"Well, we have all the same mannerisms but none of the same tattoos"
And now the fireplace is crackling
And we're keeping good and warm
We're both half asleep
Kinda watching TV
Kinda listening to the storm
And I think
California poppy
The most beautiful thing in bloom
I've watched you from behind the trees
It's good to see you look so new
The singer of all things silly
Easily moved
I've watched you shielded from the rain and I wanna be just like you
And my brother and I in the backseat
Mom's got her sunglasses on
The soulful sounds of Neil Young singing and you're singing along
I've memorized the different footsteps walking up the stairs
The jangling keys thrown underneath the pictures
The pet names given to everyone
And all of us our own little song
In this moment, I'll sit quiet with you
Oh, California Poppy
The most beautiful thing in bloom
I've watched you from behind the trees
I know you're looking out for me, too
When I'm spinning through the unknown you tell me what to do
You've walked me through the pouring rain and I wanna be just like you
Had a hard time thinking what it must've been like to see me grow up
But now that I'm a little older I understand it more clear
We've both learned how to take it day by day, year by year
Oh, California poppy
The most beautiful thing in bloom
I've watched you from behind the trees
It's good to see you look so new
The singer of all things silly
Easily moved
I've watched you shielded from the rain and I wanna be just like you
I said, "I think you'd like my dad"
"Is he as quirky as you?"
"Well, we have all the same mannerisms but none of the same tattoos"
And now the fireplace is crackling
And we're keeping good and warm
We're both half asleep
Kinda watching TV
Kinda listening to the storm
And I think
California poppy
The most beautiful thing in bloom
I've watched you from behind the trees
It's good to see you look so new
The singer of all things silly
Easily moved
I've watched you shielded from the rain and I wanna be just like you
And my brother and I in the backseat
Mom's got her sunglasses on
The soulful sounds of Neil Young singing and you're singing along
I've memorized the different footsteps walking up the stairs
The jangling keys thrown underneath the pictures
The pet names given to everyone
And all of us our own little song
In this moment, I'll sit quiet with you
Oh, California Poppy
The most beautiful thing in bloom
I've watched you from behind the trees
I know you're looking out for me, too
When I'm spinning through the unknown you tell me what to do
You've walked me through the pouring rain and I wanna be just like you
