[Verse 1]
All day on the couch
Sun on my skin
Heart pacing
Tangled in thoughts of you
Every buzz on my phone
I’m shaking
I set the table twice
Change my dress
Keep erasing
Every doubt in my head
Like petals slowly blazing
[Chorus]
I’m opening up like a flower
Dreaming of your touch
Your love
I wait
I wait
I wait for you
To hold me
To hold me
To hold me (oh)
You walk in grumpy from work
And you shut my soul off
But I’m still here
Still here
Still here
Opening up like a flower in the dark
[Verse 2]
Keys in the door
I rehearse “how was your day?”
You drop your bag down hard
Storm clouds on your face
You don’t see my eyes
The little glow you erase
I fold myself back small
Hide the hurting in the space
[Chorus]
I’m opening up like a flower
Dreaming of your touch
Your love
I wait
I wait
I wait for you
To hold me
To hold me
To hold me (hey)
You walk in grumpy from work
And you shut my soul off
But I’m still here
Still here
Still here
Opening up like a flower in the dark
[Bridge]
Do you feel it slipping?
This slow
Quiet closing
I’m spinning in circles
Still hoping
Still hoping (oh)
Say my name soft
Look up and see
There’s a garden in me
You keep walking past me
[Chorus]
I’m opening up like a flower
Dreaming of your touch
Your love
I wait
I wait
I wait for you
To hold me
To hold me
To hold me
You walk in grumpy from work
And you shut my soul off
But I’m still here
Still here
Still here
Opening up like a flower in the dark
