40 nights away from my own home won't feel my own way till september calls
the way i'm thinking i've been thinking way too long
the dreams i dreamt well they might as well be wrong it's time i stay
i'm growing tired of silk flowers on my windowsill and leaving everything i love
i want roses i can watch as they blossom i want to help something grow
the silk flowers have to go
all this time alone god knows where has been wearing me down
more than i can bear this life ain't looking like i saw it as a kid
the dreams i dreamt aren't the dreams that i live
it's time i stay
i'm growing tired of silk flowers on my windowsill
and leaving everything i love
i want roses i can watch as they blossom
i want to help something grow
the silk flowers have to go
i want to get the chance to finally settle down
maybe even marry that boy that comes around
it's time i stay


I want to be the wife, I'll bow to him, I'll be
I want to know our kids and let them know me
Growing tired of silk flowers on my windowsill
And leaving everything I love
I want roses I can watch as they blossom
I want to help something grow
The silk flowers have to go
The silk flowers have to go
Oh no, yeah they gotta go
Oh no, yeah they gotta go
The silk flowers have to go
Excellent. Silk flowers.
Yeah.
Thank you.
