Sunflower

So fold me up in your pocket
Hold me close like some skinny jeans
Oh I need you to know
Sunflowers don't grow
Round these parts anymore

Oooh oooh
Prettiest flower walked right through the door
I couldn't be more rooted to the floor
I don't think I even managed to get your name
My tongue was getting in it's own damn way
Yet
Somehow you smiled and laughed
I'm not big enough to own my past
I was thanking God you came my way
Mile high in Colorado
Drinking wine straight from the bottle
We stayed up late counting all the stars
Oh
Pretty lady dressed in white
My picket fence my lullaby
Then you had to go leave me behind

And I keep thinking
What if we just ran away
To a place no one knows our name
Maybe if you'd stayed
Maybe if you'd stayed
I wouldn't be such a mess
Drowned in my mistakes
Why'd you have to go
Leave me all alone

Oh
Oooh ohhh
Ohhh
Well darling ever since you left
I'll admit I've been a mess
Cause these nights don't feel the same without you
I still feel you in my arms
And see the tears in your eyes
When I told you Jesus loves you just the way you are
And now you're gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
I know I suck at moving on
Cause you made 10 days feel like years
And the sound of your name
Keeps me thinking my heart is in a cage
And now you're gone
Gone
Gone
Gone
Is my missing rib 9000 miles away
