Wallflower Lyrics

I was so shy when I met you

Didn't know if I would ever get you

Different backgrounds, different stories

I was sober, you were drinking 40s

I was scared that they wouldn't like you

If they saw what we in the night do

At the same time, man, I notice

All my bad thoughts out of focus

Now we hang out on the daily

Sadness isn't overwhelming lately

Wanna go wherever y'all will take me

Pull me out the nightmare and the daydream

But I ask, what happens if it ends?

When I'm older will we still be friends?

Am I gonna be like Peter Pan?

I'm a boy when you become a man?

I do not wanna go back

To being the one that stands in the back

Where nobody is, where nobody's at

The wallflower spot, the X on my map

I've always felt like it's hard to make friends

And that's why I don't want this thing to end

So I'ma hold on as long as I can

So I don't end up back where I began

Wonder how long this will last

Will one little move bring me to the past?

When you get a job and move out of town

Will I be the one who's sticking around?

When you have a house and you have a kid

Will I be alone, wallflower amid

Your circle of life, I watch you and clap

But I never changed, I didn't adapt?

I lived in my mind

And maybe that's why

Was feeling so shy

Did not wanna cry

But every time

I tried to live life

Was jumping through hoops

It didn't feel right

I felt so alone

But never went out

Old friends on the phone

I'd never reach out

I got some new friends

Was so immature

I left them to dry

I could have had more

I did not let people close

I'd hate when new people approach

Needed time for myself, don't have time for you

That's why I was all on my own

When I met you everything changed

I didn't wanna make you run away

I felt the love, for years, that I had lacked

And now I never wanna go back

Ayy

I do not wanna go back

To being the one that stands in the back

Where nobody is, where nobody's at

The wallflower spot, the X on my map

I've always felt like, it's hard to make friends

And that's why I don't want this thing to end

So I'ma hold on as long as I can

So I don't end up back where I began

Wonder how long this will last

Will one little move bring me to the past?

When you get a job and move out of town

Will I be the one who's sticking around?

When you have a house and you have a kid

Will I be alone, wallflower amid

Your circle of life, I watch you and clap

But I never changed, I didn't adapt?

I said I don't wanna go back

But don't wanna live how they act

'Cause I do not think I'm cut out

For hundreds of friends, a van and a welcome mat

I made some new choices to live like that

Not always so sure that I'll live like that

But if one of us takes that path

Real brothers stay close, despite where they end up at

As long as I'm keeping in touch

I know I won't stray from your love

And even if you're in a new place

I will not revert if I touch base

At least, man, I hope

'Cause I don't know how on Earth I would cope

Praying to God that this friendship don't lack

Wherever I'm going, I'm not going back, I'm not going back

I do not wanna go back

To being the one that stands in the back

Where nobody is, where nobody's at

The wallflower spot, the X on my map

I've always felt like it's hard to make friends

And that's why I don't want this thing to end

So I'ma hold on as long as I can

So I don't end up back where I began

Wonder how long this will last

Will one little move bring me to the past?

When you get a job and move out of town

Will I be the one who's sticking around?

When you have a house and you have a kid

Will I be alone, wallflower amid

Your circle of life, I watch you and clap

But I never changed, I didn't adapt?
