flower boy Lyrics

There's a boy

He works at the market

He sells the bouquets

At the flower shop

And this boy

I think that you'd like him

You'd think he was cool and confident

But he's barely surviving

He doesn't know why, but everything scares him

The lights in the sky and late night text messages

He's never felt enough, so he tries to compensate

By doing too much and disappointing himself again

Oh, the boy at the flower shop

By now he thought that he'd

Have it all figured out

Dropped out of uni

He'd have bought his mom a big house

And he's petrified of never making it out

And it's so hard to keep up

when you're running from yourself

Oh

He doesn't know why, but everything scares him

The lights in the sky and late night text messages

He's never felt enough, so he tries to compensate

By doing too much then disappointing himself again

Oh, the boy at the flower shop

Needy

Selfish

Comes across too strong

He loves his family

He loves his mom

And his biggest fear is disappointing her

He thought by now he'd have it all figured out

He thought by now that he'd have bought his mom a big house

His biggest fear is disappointing her

He doesn't know why, but everything scares him

When he starts to cry or when he feels like a child again

The world is so big, maybe they're all better than him

So why even try just to disappoint himself again

He doesn't know why, but everything scares him

The lights in the sky and late night text messages

He's never felt enough, so he tries to compensate

By doing too much then disappointing himself again

Oh, the boy at the flower shop

Now you know the boy at the flower shop
