Lyrics and Blooms: 10 Songs to Serenade Your Heart

I survived

A dreadful accident

In the car crash of the century

My shattered hopes

Collapsed on cold cement

But in the back of the ambulance

I never felt so content

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight

To me

And now my vision can render the scene

A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris

Happiness returned to me

Through a grave emergency

Da da da da

Da da da da

Da da da da

Da da da da

I tossed and turned

In sterile apathy

Until the violets

Arrived for me

The bouquet burst

And blossoms filled the room

And the place got smaller as they grew taller

And taught me to bloom

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight

To me

And now my vision can render the scene

A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris

Happiness returned to me

Through a grave emergency

The curtains decayed

The daylight poured in

I was never afraid

Of the darkness again

My burns were third-degree

But I’d been set free

Cuz grace had finally found its way

To me

A high-speed collision gave a new sense of sight

To me

And now my vision can render the scene

A blurry image of wreckage and roadside debris

Happiness returned to me

Happiness returned to me

Happiness returned to me

Through a grave emergency

Da da da da

Da da da da

Da da da da

Da da da da

(Through a grave emergency)

Da da da da

Da da da da

Happiness returned to me

Through a grave emergency

Hospital Flowers is a song based on a true story. According to Adam Young, singer of the song, his friend got into an accident. As he watches his recovery, it changed his friend’s point of view in life. He realized that each people could use an ‘accident’ to wake them up to reality.

Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature

Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces

Emergency, heartbeat increases

Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning

This is the beginning

This is the beginning

This is the beginning

Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature

Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces

Emergency, heartbeat increases

Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning

And now the lotus rises

We are never dyin’

Forever flyin’

And always survivin’

Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature

Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces

Emergency, heartbeat increases

Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning

This is the beginning

This is the beginning

This is the beginning

Songbird, rebirth, unearth creature

Submerge from hurt, pain, broken pieces

Emergency, heartbeat increases

Rise up lotus, rise, this is the beginning

This is the beginning

This is the beginning

To the sky, I rise

Spread my wings, and fly

I leave the past behind

And say goodbye to the scared child inside

I sing for freedom, and for love

I look at my reflection

Embrace the woman I’ve become

The unbreakable lotus in me

I now set free

Same bed but it feels just a little bit bigger now

Our song on the radio but it don’t sound the same

When our friends talk about you, all it does is just tear me down

‘Cause my heart breaks a little when I hear your name

It all just sounds like oooooh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That I should’ve bought you flowers

And held your hand

Should’ve gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

‘Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby’s dancing

But she’s dancing with another man

My pride, my ego, my needs, and my selfish ways

Caused a good strong woman like you to walk out my life

Now I never, never get to clean up the mess I made, ohh

…

And it haunts me every time I close my eyes

It all just sounds like oooooh…

Mmm, too young, too dumb to realize

That I should’ve bought you flowers

And held your hand

Should’ve gave you all my hours

When I had the chance

Take you to every party

‘Cause all you wanted to do was dance

Now my baby’s dancing

But she’s dancing with another man

Although it hurts

I’ll be the first to say that I was wrong

Oh, I know I’m probably much too late

To try and apologize for my mistakes

But I just want you to know

I hope he buys you flowers

I hope he holds your hand

Give you all his hours

When he has the chance

Take you to every party

‘Cause I remember how much you loved to dance

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

Do all the things I should have done

When I was your man

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst

It was months, and months of back and forth

You’re still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore

Hung my head as I lost the war, and the sky turned black like a perfect storm

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That’s when I could finally breathe

And by morning

gone was any trace of you,

I think I am finally clean

There was nothing left to do

When the butterflies turned to dust that covered my whole room

So I punched a hole in the roof

Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That’s when I could finally breathe

And by morning, gone was any trace of you,

I think I am finally clean

I think I am finally clean

Said I think I am finally clean

10 months sober, I must admit

Just because you’re clean don’t mean you don’t miss it

10 months older, I won’t give in

Now that I’m clean I’m never gonna risk it

The drought was the very worst

When the flowers that we’d grown together died of thirst

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That’s when I could finally breathe

And by morning

gone was any trace of you,

I think I am finally clean

Rain came pouring down when I was drowning

That’s when I could finally breathe

And by morning gone was any trace of you

I think I am finally clean

Finally clean

Think I’m finally clean

Think I’m finally clean

Clean is a song of withering love. It reflects the trials of moving on from a broken relationship. To love someone is supposed to be a constant struggle and in order to survive it, both must know how to accept each other’s differences. But despite getting your heart broken, time will come for you to heal and start again.

I know I’ll never be the apple of your eye

But I pick you a flower if you like

I know I’ll never be the stars up in your sky

But I’ll pick you a flower if you like

She loves me, she loves me not

She says she love me has she forgotten that she loves me

Love me one more time

I know I’ll never be the apple of your eye

But I can pick you a flower if you like

’cause I meet you down by the end of the road

Where the sunset glows and the garden grows

I got one pair of shoes with 20 holes in the toes

And I would walk 20 miles just to get to those blue eyes

If you will smile for me to my surprise I would stay for a while to see what comes next

Or we could take off our clothes and have long conversations in french

I know I’ll never be the apple of your eye

But I’ll pick you a flower if you like

I know I’ll never be the stars up in your sky oh no

But I’ll pick you a flower if you like

And she loves me, she loves me not

She says she loves me has she forgotten that she loves me

Love me one more time

I know I’ll never be the apple of your eye

But I pick you a flower if you like

Let’s go

Roses are red, violets are blue

But it is true I’d be through if I don’t have you

So I just chill up on the hill picking daffodils

Making wishes, about you mrs

’cause I know I’ll never be the apple of your eye

But I’ll pick you a flower

I might never be your knight in shining armour

I might never be the one you take home to mother

And I might never be the one who brings you flowers

But I can be the one, be the one tonight

When I first saw you

From across the room

I could tell that you were curious,

Oh, yeah

Girl, I hope you’re sure

What you’re looking for

‘Cause I’m not good at making promises

But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms

And if you like having secret little rendezvous

If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do

Then baby, I’m perfect

Baby, I’m perfect for you

And if you like midnight driving with the windows down

And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce

If you like to do whatever you’ve been dreaming about

Then baby, you’re perfect

Baby, you’re perfect

So let’s start right now

I might never be the hands you put your heart in

Or the arms that hold you anytime you want them

But that don’t mean that we can’t live here in the moment

‘Cause I can be the one you love from time to time

When I first saw you

From across the room

I could tell that you were curious,

Oh, yeah

Girl, I hope you’re sure

What you’re looking for

‘Cause I’m not good at making promises

But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms

And if you like having secret little rendezvous

If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do

Then baby, I’m perfect

Baby, I’m perfect for you

And if you like midnight driving with the windows down

And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce

If you like to do whatever you’ve been dreaming about

Then baby, you’re perfect

Baby, you’re perfect

So let’s start right now

And if you like cameras flashing every time we go out,

Oh, yeah

And if you’re looking for someone to write your break-up songs about

Baby, I’m perfect

Baby, we’re perfect

If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms

And if you like having secret little rendezvous

If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do

Then baby, I’m perfect

Baby, I’m perfect for you

And if you like midnight driving with the windows down

And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce

If you like to do whatever you’ve been dreaming about

Then baby, you’re perfect

Baby, you’re perfect

So let’s start right now

Dear future husband

Here’s a few things

You’ll need to know if you wanna be

My one and only all my life

Take me on a date

I deserve it, babe

And don’t forget the flowers every anniversary

‘Cause if you’ll treat me right

I’ll be the perfect wife

Buying groceries

Buy-buying what you need

You got that 9 to 5

But, baby, so do I

So don’t be thinking I’ll be home and baking apple pies

I never learned to cook

But I can write a hook

Sing along with me

Sing-sing along with me (hey)

You gotta know how to treat me like a lady

Even when I’m acting crazy

Tell me everything’s alright

Dear future husband,

Here’s a few things you’ll need to know if you wanna be

My one and only all my life

Dear future husband,

If you wanna get that special lovin’

Tell me I’m beautiful each and every night

After every fight

Just apologize

And maybe then I’ll let you try and rock my body right (right)

Even if I was wrong

[Laugh] You know I’m never wrong

Why disagree?

Why, why disagree?

If you gotta know how to treat me like a lady

Even when I’m acting crazy

Tell me everything’s alright

Dear future husband,

Here’s a few things

You’ll need to know if you wanna be

My one and only all my life (hey, baby)

Dear future husband,

Make time for me

Don’t leave me lonely

And know we’ll never see your family more than mine

I’ll be sleeping on the left side of the bed (hey)

Open doors for me and you might get some kisses

Don’t have a dirty mind

Just be a classy guy

Buy me a ring

Buy-buy me a ring (babe)

You gotta know how to treat me like a lady

Even when I’m acting crazy

Tell me everything’s alright

Dear future husband

Here’s a few things

You’ll need to know if you wanna be

My one and only all my life

Dear future husband,

If you wanna get that special loving

Tell me I’m beautiful each and every night

Oh-woah

Future husband, better love me right

I watched you cry

Bathed in sunlight

By the bathroom door

You said you wished you did not love me anymore

You left your flowers in the backseat of my car

The things we said and did have left permanent scars

Obsessed depressed at the same time

I can’t even walk in a straight line

I’ve been lying in the dark no sunshine

No sunshine

No sunshine

She cries

This is more than goodbye

When I look into your eyes

You’re not even there

It’s just a feeling

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have, oh yeah

Cause I can’t believe that it’s over

You’ve hit your low

You’ve lost control and you want me back

You may not believe me but I gave you all I had

Undress confess that you’re still mine

Roll around in a bed full of tears

I’m still lying in the dark no sunshine

No sunshine

No sunshine

She cries

This is more than goodbye

When I look into your eyes

You’re not even there

It’s just a feeling

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

No I can’t believe that it’s over now

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

So much to say

It’s not the way she does her hair

It’s the way she seems to stare right through my eyes

And in my darkest day when she refused to run away

From love she tried so hard to save

It’s just a feeling

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

It’s just a feeling

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

Just a feeling

Just a feeling that I have

I can’t believe that it’s over

I can’t believe that it’s over

Now I can’t believe that’s it’s over, yeah

Conceived in your womb like a flower I bloomed

How you do what you do, you’re a superwoman

Felt the love in your touch although we had it so rough

Even if I gave you the moon it would not be enough.

Momma, your love gives me comfort

It’s like the sweetest music every time you sing your lullabies

I feel no cuts and bruises, for all the sleepless nights

I thank you for your patience, for the times you fed me, clothe me

Wiped my nose and tied my laces

You will always be my old lady

Thanks for the love you gave me

No ifs, no buts, no maybes

For the nine months

you carried me

No matter who should marry me

You will always be my

My old lady, yeah

The mother who fathered me, being fatherless bothered me

But your love protected me and kept me from harm’s way

The street sides that tempted me, the roads you prevented me

From walking along and now I’m glad that you parented me

Momma, your love gives me comfort

It’s like the sweetest music every time you sing your lullabies

I feel no cuts and bruises, for all the sleepless nights

I thank you for your patience, for the times you fed me, clothe me

Wiped my nose and tied my laces.

You will always be my old lady

Thanks for the love you gave me

No ifs, no buts, no maybes

For the nine months

you carried me

No matter who should marry me

You will always be my

Momma, your love gives me comfort

It’s like the sweetest music every time you sing your lullabies

I feel no cuts and bruises, for all the sleepless nights

I thank you for your patience, for the times you fed me, clothe me

Wiped my nose and tied my laces

You will always be my old lady

Thanks for the love you gave me

No ifs, no buts, no maybes

For the nine months

you carried me

No matter who should marry me

You will always be my

Said you will always be

You will always be my old lady

Thanks for the love you gave me

No ifs, no buts, no maybes

For the nine months

you carried me

No matter who should marry me

You will always be my

I spent the morning at an old friend’s grave

Flowers and Amazing Grace, he was a good man

He spent his whole life spinnin’ his wheels

Never knowin’ how the real thing feels

He never took a chance or took the time to dance

And I stood there thinking as I said goodbye

Today is the first day of the rest of my life

I’m gonna stop lookin’ back and start movin’ on

And learn how to face my fears

Love with all of my heart,

make my mark

I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, with out any net

That’s what I’m gonna be about

Yeah I wanna be runnin’

When the sand runs out

‘Cause people do it everyday

Promise themselves they’re gonna change

I’ve been there, but I’m changin’ from the inside out

That was then and this is now

I’m a new man, yeah, I’m a brand new man

And when they carve my stone they’ll write these words

“Here lies a man who lived life for all that it’s worth”

And as the cold wind blows across the graveyard

I think I hear the voice of my old friend whisper in my ear

I’m gonna stop lookin’ back and start movin’ on

Learn how to face my fears

Love with all of my heart,

make my mark

I wanna leave something here

Go out on a ledge, without any net

That’s what I’m gonna be about

Yeah I wanna be runnin’

When the sand runs out
