Sunflower

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Liam Fray] Six acres of concrete wasteland One sunflower standing tall I didn't know your name, I didn't know your fame I just liked ya' that's all I cannot buy you diamond rings, for Christ 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 [Chorus] 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 night bus, nowhere near this town [Verse 2] 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 ya' that's all We talked histories and pasts I let you read the second draft We come verging through the afternoon [Chorus] 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 grooming through the fog [Verse 3] 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 La-de-da-de-da-da-da-de-do [Chorus] We sat for hours, you measures your thumb against mine Electricity, shooting down my spine We sat for hours, we waited till the sun went down Alighted the night bus nowhere near this town [Outro] Six acres of concrete wasteland One sunflower standing tall I didn't know your name, I didn't know your fame I just liked ya' that's all
