[Verse 1]
Bare feet in the backyard
Dirt under my nails
You’re laughing at the dandelions
Stuck to my shirt
Stuck to my failings
You kiss my dusty knuckles
Say
"You grow just fine"
I swear the branches lean in
Just to hear you smile
[Chorus]
Flowers need the sun
But I need you more
If we were both sunflowers
I’d turn away from the sky
Just to chase your glow
You are my sunflower and sunshine
You bring a kind of warmth
The daylight can’t define
My sunflower
My sunshine
[Verse 2]
Morning on the porch swing
Coffee going cold
You tuck a petal in my hair
Say
"Look
Now you’re bold"
Clouds roll like a river
You just hold my hand
Suddenly the gray feels golden
Right where we stand
[Chorus]
Flowers need the sun
But I need you more
If we were both sunflowers
I’d turn away from the sky
Just to chase your glow
You are my sunflower and sunshine
You bring a kind of warmth
The daylight can’t define
My sunflower
My sunshine
[Bridge]
Let the seasons circle
Let the colors change
As long as I can face you
I don’t mind the rain (oh no)
Every little shadow
Falls behind your name
You light up my small world
Again and again
[Chorus]
Flowers need the sun
But I need you more
If we were both sunflowers
I’d turn away from the sky
Just to chase your glow
You are my sunflower and sunshine
You bring a kind of warmth
The daylight can’t define
My sunflower
My sunshine
[Outro]
My sunflower
My sunshine
