lyrics

The moon, she was close enough to peer back at our faces
Purple lips, wide eyes, stomachs twisted
You step carefully, I get mud on my shoelaces,
if you would ask me what Nirvana was, I would say this

Two out of place human beings
staring up at what should have been their home
Fucked up on something or other, feeling
that this is better than ever being alone

and I wonder if the flowers will come back,
and I wonder if the stars will turn on again
and I wonder if the flowers will come back to me my friend

Our great nation could fall apart like '29,
I'm convinced that we would be okay
I don't need anything if I am yours and you are mine
at the end of every day

So I'll keep replaying the crash inside my head,
let it burn into each fold inside my brain
Like a stray ember from a lit cigarette
reminding me that I put out the flame

I miss when we were better versions of ourselves,
can we go back to being better versions of ourselves?

My cigarette is reaching gold, but I am not quite through
each body needs a hand to hold and my hand belongs to you
I'll stay here till the sky starts falling, I couldn't part from you if I tried

and I wonder if the flowers will come back,
and I wonder if the stars will turn on again
and I wonder if the flowers will come back,
come back to me, my friend
