sunflower.
Yeah, I had three pair of high heels
I never even wore
'Cause I've been taller than the boys
Since I was a sophomore
And I still remember the summer
I towered over my mother
They said I shot up like a weed
A little too much to ignore
If I could talk to me when I was young
Sticking out like a sore thumb
I'd tell me to stand a little prouder
And I'd say, "You might feel a little crazy
Trying to fit in with them daisies
Someday that'll be your superpower
And it might take 'til twenty-one
But you'll find your place in the sunflower"
I couldn't blame it on the dirt
So I tried to blame it on my dad
He's part of why I'm insecure
And why I grew up way too fast
And I ain't been fragile or dainty
Since sometime back in the 80's
And it's why I look good in a skirt
So I won't apologize for that
If I could talk to me when I was young
Sticking out like a sore thumb
I'd tell me to stand a little prouder
And I'd say, "You might feel a little crazy
Trying to fit in with the daisies
Someday that'll be your superpower
And it might take 'til thirty-one
But you'll find your place in the sunflower"
Sunflower
You're solid gold, girl
You're hometown tough
You look the best when you're lookin up
If I could talk to me when I was young
Sticking out like a sore thumb
I'd say, "Be a stand-out-in-a-crowder
And I'd say, "Nothing's wrong
And you ain't crazy
The fact that you just ain't a daisy
Girl, that's gonna be your super power
And it might take 'til ninety-one
But just keep turning to the sunflower
And you'll have your day in the sunflower"
Sunflower
Just keep chasing the sunflower
