Tournesol (Sunflower)

from Hope You Never Get It by I Can See Mountains

lyrics

Shake shake on your westbound train. I heard you got yourself a letter geared towards lighter days. It’s overrated, I’m so frustrated, it’s time to get some culture baby.

That’s fine, I’ll move in with Jay and Brad. Quietly dissect every passing fad, and maybe I’ll get drunk later, drink a fifth with my new neighbor.

You said “I don’t want to sleep on the lawn.” It’s our last night, maybe we should get along. I said “let’s go,” you said “where to?” to the moon and the stars with you.

Gonna sleep in on a Saturday, wear the t-shirt with the stain. We’ve had our differences but I support your love for marine biology.

Sunflower, why do you grow so tall? You cast a shadow and make us feel so small. Sunflower, I’ll get better. I’ll hold your petals back in the bathroom stall.

I want to plant a tree for every jazz singer that helped you buckle down when the weather turned. In all the words of mice and men, the saddest are “it might have been.”

You said “I don’t want to sleep on the lawn.” It’s our last night, maybe we should get along. I said “let’s go,” you said “where to?” the moon and the stars with you.

Gonna sleep in on a Saturday, wear the t-shirt with the stain. We’ve had our differences but I support your love for marine biology.

Sunflower, why do you grow so tall? You cast a shadow and make us feel so small. Sunflower, I’ll get better. I’ll hold your petals back in the bathroom stall.

With that said, I’ll get better, with that said oh sunflower. Its all in my head, better off dead.

With that said, I’ll get better, with that said oh sunflower. Its all in my head, better off dead.

Sunflower, why do you grow so tall? You cast a shadow and make us feel so small. Sunflower, I’ll get better. I’ll hold your petals back in the bathroom stall.

Sunflower, why do you grow so tall? You cast a shadow and make us feel so small. Sunflower, I’ll get better. I’ll hold your petals back in the bathroom stall.
