lyrics

We thought the sunflowers were just lovely
when they first appeared in the front yard.
But as they multiplied their leaves grew sharp
and their stalks unkindly hard

What if I change my mind?
Could your lightning strike the same place twice?

It is like that when you get loved more and more
and more than you think you deserve.
You want to swerve into that oncoming lane
but you always lose your nerve

What if I change my mind?
Could your lightning strike the same place twice?
What if I change my mind?
Could your lightning strike the same place twice?
.
In autumn the crows came to take
the yellow crowns and leave us only stems.
You watched from the window when
they flew away and I followed them.

What if I change my mind?
Could your lightning strike the same place twice?
What if I change my mind?
Could your lightning strike the same place twice?
