[Verse 1]
You came late to the table
Shoes untied
Shirt on wrong
Brothers lined up in a straight row
You were humming your own song
They like rules and tidy corners
You like questions
Midnight skies
They march forward in a straight line
You spin circles
Close your eyes
[Chorus]
You are my one wild flower
Growing sideways in the yard
Different colors
Different hours
Beating with a different heart
I only want the sun to find you
Shelter you from every storm
You are my one wild flower
And my arms will be your home (always)
[Verse 2]
They bring home their perfect papers
You bring pockets full of stones
You say
“Mom
They’re little planets
I just couldn’t leave ’em alone”
They like games they know they’ll win at
You like ones nobody’s tried
Sometimes I stay up there beside you
Just to watch your shining mind
[Chorus]
You are my one wild flower
Growing sideways in the yard
Different colors
Different hours
Beating with a different heart
I only want the sun to find you
Shelter you from every storm
You are my one wild flower
And my arms will be your home
[Bridge]
When the world feels sharp and heavy
And you wonder if you fit
I will sit down in your meadow
Every thorn is worth it
You don’t have to be like others
You don’t need to change a thing
I will love you in your chaos
Like the air loves the spring (oh, I will)
[Chorus]
You are my one wild flower
Growing sideways in the yard
Different colors
Different hours
Beating with a different heart
I only want the sun to find you
Shelter you from every storm
You are my one wild flower
And my love will be your home
