Sunflower Lyrics

Six acres of concrete wasteland
One sunflower standing tall
I didn't know your name
I didn't know your fame
I just liked you that's all

I cannot buy you diamond rings
For Christ's sake I can barely sing
I feel like a teenager
In danger of doing that falling for thing

I didn't mean for this to happen
But the greatest things happen by accident
Like the apple on Isaac's head

We sat for hours
You measured your thumb against mine
Electricity
Shooting down my spine

We sat for hours
We waited 'til the sun went down
Alighted the nightbus
Nowhere near this town

Six acres of concrete wasteland
One sunflower standing tall
I didn't know your name
I didn't know your fame
I just proper liked you that's all

We talked histories and pasts
I let you read the second draft Converging through the afternoon

We sat for hours
You measured your thumb against mine
Electricity
Shooting down my spine

We sat for hours
You weathered my monologue
A burning beacon
Grinning through the fog

Standing out from the crowd
That's just the way you are
To look that good should not be allowed
Our local movie star

The girls look on in envy
The guys look on in envy
Rat-de-da-de-da-de-da-da-doh

We sat for hours
You measured your thumb against mine
Electricity
Shooting down my spine

We sat for hours
We waited til the sun went down
Alighted the nightbus
Nowhere near this town

Six acres of concrete wasteland
One sunflower standing tall
I didn't know your name
I didn't know your fame
I just liked you that's all
