dehydrate

I brought you these flowers

A bouquet I made ya

I stole from the front yards

Of all of my neighbors

This took me hours

I picked all your favorites

You let them dehydrate

In a matter of days

Gave much more than just my time to you

Wish I knew back then that all you'd do was waste it

Coulda saved myself the heartbreak

And wasted energy

Cos it wouldn't ever be reciprocated

I brought you these flowers

A bouquet I made ya

I stole from the front yards

Of all of my neighbors

This took me hours

I picked all your favorites

You let them dehydrate

In a matter of days

I been racking my brains

Like what she gon' think?

And do she like daisies?

Does she like pink?

Will she be cutting off the stems, give 'em something to drink?

Will she keep them in a vase or kitchen sink?

And it might seem kind of crazy, but I'm starting to think

I'm over-contemplating, complicating this

And I'm on the brink of asking if she'll be my wife

I brought you these flowers

A bouquet I made ya

I stole from the front yards

Of all of my neighbors

This took me hours

I picked all your favorites

You let them dehydrate

In a matter of days
