lyrics

This flower is for you
I found it long ago in the playground at school
The very same spot I fell and lost my first tooth
The petals were yellow and the sky above was blue

It died in a glass of water on my windowsill
It was all dried up and very still
By then it was the first thing I'd ever killed
Here, this flower is for you

Since then I've seen so many flowers
And I've picked some of those flowers
And I've given some of those flowers
But this flower is for you

My shirt was speckled with mud, my face smeared with ice cream
I was six years old and my lungs were clean
I wasn't hoping for anything
This flower ain't a flower
But you know what I mean
