Flowers in Concrete

Later in the evening while the sun's still up

Driving home from work wondering if I fucked things up

And if I'll get it together

Everything I'm doing's just to speed things up

So I can make it through the day without crying over ya

I'm having no luck at all

I know there's nothing that I could do or say

For getting you back home, for getting you back home

Early in the morn I know the sun will rise

And I'll do it all over trying to make it through this time

Maybe I'll just forget you

As soon as I stepped into the world I seen

I saw a little flower growing right through the concrete

A blend of you and me

I know there's nothing that I could do or say

For getting you back home, getting you back home

I always knew you'd fly away

But I never thought you'd stay so far away

It gets a little better then I end up dead

Get to thinking I'll just stay here for a little while instead

I guess it's my decision

I could spend my whole life flying through the air

So I could catch a glimpse of something

With you smiling and I'll just stare

Until it's fading away

I know there's nothing that I could do or say

For getting you back home, getting you back home

I always knew you'd fly away

But I never thought you'd stay so far away
