about

This is a song about a troubled relationship as told through a story about flowering trees.

lyrics

You should have seen it last summer
Shades of pink and lavender
Colors on every tree
As far as the eye can see

Maybe it was the long winter
Sometimes the buds never flower
Nurtured the same as her neighbor
But she never opened her eyes

There's calm confidence in certain light
There's quiet comfort where you sleep
The sky is clearing up for you to see
If you open up

Sometimes the colors are brighter
Shining like a carnival
Moving around in the breeze
Wiggling all of her leaves

Maybe the summers are hotter
Sometimes the buds never flower
Maybe you're frightened
But hiding won't answer the questions you've got

There's calm confidence in certain light
There's quiet comfort where you sleep
The sky is clearing up for you to see
If you open up

I'm laying my cards on the table
Can't put the horse back in the stable
Please reconsider my offer
I need you more than you know

You should have seen it last summer
Shades of pink and lavender
Colors on every tree
As far as the eye can see

Maybe it was the long winter
Sometimes the buds never flower
Nurtured the same as her neighbor
But she never opened her eyes

There's calm confidence in certain light
There's quiet comfort where you sleep
The sky is clearing up for you to see
If you open up

If you open up
Sometimes the buds never flower

If you open up
Sometimes the buds never flower

If you open up
Sometimes the buds never flower

If you open up
Sometimes the buds never flower
