Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Told them your dreams and they all started laughing
I guess you're out of your mind till it actually happens
[PreChorus]
I'm the small town
One in seven billion
Why can't it be me?
[Chorus]
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
[Chorus]
They said I'm going nowhere
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
[Verse 2]
When did we all stop believing in magic?
Why did we put all our hopes in a box in the attic?
[PreChorus]
I'm the long-shot
I'm the Hail Mary
Why can't it be me?
[Chorus]
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down (Knock me down)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
[Chorus]
They said I'm going no where
Tried to count me out
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
[Bridge]
Yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh (Cover me in daisies)
Yeah
Yeah-eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh, eh-eh-eh
[PreChorus]
I'm the small town
One in seven billion
Why can't it be me?
[Chorus]
They told me I was out there
Tried to knock me down
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
[Chorus]
They said I'm going no where
Tried to count me out (Count me out)
Took those sticks and stones
Showed 'em I could build a house
They tell me that I'm crazy
But I'll never let 'em change me
Till they cover me in daisies
Daisies, daisies
