sunflower.

Yeah, I had three pair of high heels
I never even wore
Cuz I've been taller than the boys
Since I was a sophomore
And I still remember the summer
I towered over my mother
They said I shot up like a weed
A little too much to ignore

If I could talk to me when I was young
Sticking out like a sore thumb
I'd tell me to stand a little prouder
And I'd say you might feel a little crazy
Trying to fit in with the daisies
Someday that'll be your superpower
It might take til 21
But you'll find your place in the sunflower

I couldn't blame it on the dirt
So I tried to blame on my dad
He's part of why I'm insecure
And why I grew up way too fast
I ain't been fragile or dainty
Since sometime back in the 80s
It's why I look good in a skirt
So I won't apologize for that

If I could talk to me when I was young
Sticking out like a sore thumb
I'd tell me to stand a little prouder
And I'd say you might feel a little crazy
Trying to fit in with the daisies
Someday that'll be your superpower
It might take til 31
But you'll find your place in the sunflower

Sunflower

You're solid gold girl
You're hometown tough
You look the best when you're lookin' up

If I could talk to me when I was young
Sticking out like a sore thumb
I'd say be a stand-out-in-a-crowder
And I'd say nothing's wrong
And you ain't crazy
The fact that you just ain't a daisy
Girl that's gonna be your superpower
And it might take til 91
But just keep turning to the sunflower
You'll have your day in the sunflower
Sunflower
Just keep chasing the sunflower
