flowers

I pick some flowers in the morning
I do it every day
And I'll watch them grow
As I choose the words I say
To encourage them
Not discourage them
To grow

I guess I kind of relate to
The awkward phase of it all
Always growing up
But you're the last one to get tall
And when the sun hits finally
And all my family is smiling

I'll rise up from one of those days
With the rain in my face
'Cause all I can say is
"It gets better"
We'll have different weather
And you'll know right where to grow
I sent letters
I wore sweaters
But still I'm the last to know

I think it's hard to compare to
All the roots that we've grown
'Cause theirs can shatter to pieces
And ours just break at the bone
But when the sun hits morning
And it's a beautiful day
I hope the sky isn't mourning
And we can keep their tears away

"It gets better"
We'll have different weather
And you'll know right where to grow
I sent letters
I wore sweaters
But that was years ago
Soon the bad days are about to end
Summers here and I have got no friends
To know
(I just wanna say that)
Madness happens when you cross the line
Flowers die out but come back in time
And all I wanted was to call you mine
(Just wanna say that)

"It gets better"
We'll have different weather
And you'll know right where to grow
I sent letters
And I wore sweaters
But my bloods still running cold
It got better
We had a change of weather
You read my letters
Now you're grown
