Orchids
Sat by the water to look at the moon
Its purple crescent in a sky of pale blue
The color of your eyes
I think about you too
You too
The stars are coming out of a dark sky
I walk home in the glow of a yellow street light
Tonight I want to cry without you by my side
Oh why am I so shy?
Why am I so shy?
I'd like to get a little closer
But you know that orchids grow much taller
When they're left alone
Roses need a lot of light
But I've been burned a few too many times so
I'm taking it slow
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Wrote a letter and folded it up
Into a paper crane, I think it means good luck
Wanted you to know you're more than just a fuck
Oh I messed
I messed up
I'm not ready to give away my heart
Letting you in on my feelings wasn't smart
So I'll stay over here and want you from afar
Afar away from you
Just like the orchids do
I'd like to get a little closer
But you know that orchids grow much taller
When they're left alone
Roses need a lot of light
But I've been burned a few too many times so
I'm taking it slow
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
That's how the orchids grow
Its purple crescent in a sky of pale blue
The color of your eyes
I think about you too
You too
The stars are coming out of a dark sky
I walk home in the glow of a yellow street light
Tonight I want to cry without you by my side
Oh why am I so shy?
Why am I so shy?
I'd like to get a little closer
But you know that orchids grow much taller
When they're left alone
Roses need a lot of light
But I've been burned a few too many times so
I'm taking it slow
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Wrote a letter and folded it up
Into a paper crane, I think it means good luck
Wanted you to know you're more than just a fuck
Oh I messed
I messed up
I'm not ready to give away my heart
Letting you in on my feelings wasn't smart
So I'll stay over here and want you from afar
Afar away from you
Just like the orchids do
I'd like to get a little closer
But you know that orchids grow much taller
When they're left alone
Roses need a lot of light
But I've been burned a few too many times so
I'm taking it slow
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
That's how the orchids grow
