Flowers

One, two One, two, three, four Why is it so hard to pick up the phone To tell someone you love them? And you thought that they should know No hidden agenda, there ain't nothing going wrong You just keep thinking about them And damn, it's been too long I don't wanna wait 'til the party's over To tell you everything I should say sober 'Cause you don't know you left the good old days 'Til they're dust in the wind Now suddenly the years are feeling shorter Nobody wants to hear, but we're getting older So I'm not gonna wait another month or even an hour To give you your flowers Too many memories blur into one Except the first time you told me You were proud that I'm your son It might've seemed so small in the grand scheme of things But I, I remember every word you said Like it was yesterday I don't wanna wait 'til the party's over To tell you everything I should say sober 'Cause you don't know you left the good old days 'Til they're dust in the wind Now suddenly the years are feeling shorter Nobody wants to hear, but we're getting older So I'm not gonna wait another month or even an hour I'm reaching out I'm tossing you a lifeline I'm reaching out I'm tossing you a lifeline Respect earns respect Don't you know that Respect earns respect I don't wanna wait 'til the party's over To tell you everything I should say sober 'Cause you don't know you left the good old days 'Til they're dust in the wind Now suddenly the years are feeling shorter Nobody wants to hear, but we're getting older So I'm not gonna wait another month or even an hour To give you your flowers To give you your flowers
