I'm sorry I ain't texted you
I left my phone up on the moon
I need to stat to learn some follow through
Well I promise that I'll call real soon
Though honestly I'm nervous to
I'm frightened by what I can't hide
From you
'Sides there isn't really much to say
Just that I'm finding it hard to wanna shower these days
I'm trying to learn how to cry without getting high
I want the trees to turn green again
Well, April's just been bringing May her flowers
And I am standing in the rain to catch her powers
I'm longing for that daffodil-ness
That springs forth from stillness
I wanna groove like the tulips do
And follow the sun
When will my snow fed tears come blossoming?
When will I thaw out like the ground beneath my feet?
When will I grow again?
Well the truth is on my worst days
I wish I could evaporate,
Be spirited away by the sun
The way a droplet leaves the ocean
Without anybody noticin'
Only to return where I come from
"What's up?" you'll ask,
"Not much," I'll say,
'Cause nothing has happened, but everything's changed
I learned how to fly,
I got lost in the sky,
Now I'm finding my feet again
And I'm still longing for that daffodil-ness
That springs forth from stillness
I wanna groove like the tulips do
And follow the sun
When will my snow fed tears come blossoming?
When will I thaw out like the ground beneath my feet?
When will I grow again?
