Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He bought her roses at the station
They died in water by the sink
He kept the wrapper in his wallet
Like it meant more than he did
I think
He missed his mother’s Sunday birthday
Called her back late
Half asleep
Said “I’ll make it up next weekend”
Then drove faster through the week
[Chorus]
Funny how a man’s first flowers
Are at his funeral
Lined in rows
All that love that never made it
To his hands while he was home
We bring the petals when he’s breathless
Dress the silence up in gold
A man’s first flowers at his funeral
For a heart we never really got to know
[Verse 2]
He said “I’m fine” like it was greeting
Wore that phrase like work clothes
Joked about the way he’s feeling
Turned his hurt into a show
They write it out now on the ribbon
“Wish we’d said this face to face”
All the words he could’ve used
Pinned in carnations on a vase
[Chorus]
Funny how a man’s first flowers
Are at his funeral
Lined in rows
All that love that never made it
To his hands while he was home
We bring the petals when he’s breathless
Dress the silence up in gold
A man’s first flowers at his funeral
For a heart we never really got to know
[Bridge]
What if we called when we thought of it? (oh)
What if we said “stay
You matter
Sit”
What if the blooms hit his doorstep first
Not the dirt and the marble and the scripted words
[Chorus]
Funny how a man’s first flowers
Are at his funeral
Lined in rows
All that love that never made it
Could’ve held him
Could’ve grown
Let’s bring the petals to the living
Let them feel it in their bones
So no one’s first flowers at their funeral
Is the proof they weren’t as alone

Style
pop, Moody alt-pop, midtempo groove with tight drums, warm bass, and atmospheric keys. Male vocals close and conversational in the verse; chorus blooms with wide synth pads and stacked harmonies. Subtle guitar swells in the bridge, then a final, intimate chorus with stripped-back instrumentation and a soft vocal ad-lib tail.
