"Sunflower" lyrics

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's 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

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

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

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

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

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

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
