Dried Flowers Lyrics

Oh, we were howling down the Silas Deane

And something caught between your teeth

A sliver of a chunk you ripped from me

I was not afraid of desert skies

They're peppered with the softest lies

That block out all the sun that's blinding me

You've seen me through the good and bad

And all the sex that I did and didn't have

Oh you, yes you, were right there by my side

And when I'm filled with fear of everyone

I'll pick you from where you withered in the sun

Dried flowers can bloom again in time

In time, oh

Dried flowers can bloom again in time, oh

Dried flowers can bloom again in time

Oh, we were riddled, weak, and paper-thin

Divorced from feeling like anything

Avoiding what we could view in the rear

My colors would bleed into yours

And suddenly things were different than before

Short-lived and hopeless but at least we're here

You've seen me through the thick and thin

And all the contests that I could never win

Oh you, yes you, were right there by my side

And when the curtain falls, the show is done

I'll pick you from where you withered in the sun

Dried flowers can bloom again in time

In time, oh

Dried flowers can bloom again in time, oh

You've seen me through since high school

Through flashing red lights and never-ending rules

Oh you, yes you, were right there by my side

And when my towers fall, I'm overrun

You'll pick me from where I've withered in the sun

Dried flowers can bloom again in time
