They pass you by along the highway
All your colors magic, rivaling the sky
I know you feel cast aside, unseen and stained
I know it feels tragic
Waiting in the by-and-by
Let me count the ways
Pluck the petals just to see another day
Wildflower, wildflower
Don't let 'em tell you what to do or who to be
Don't hide away in your tower
Come a little closer to me
Come a little closer to me
A butterfly finds you there
Patiently waiting, an accident in time
Meant to be, rain or shine
And you're aware your moment is fading
Underneath the sky
Make it count today
You know best that nothing gold is meant to stay
Wildflower, wildflower
Don't let 'em tell you what to do or who to be
Don't hide away in your tower
Come a little closer to me
Come a little closer to me
Make it count today
You know best that nothing gold is meant to stay
Wildflower, wildflower
Don't let 'em tell you what to do or who to be
Don't hide away in your tower
Come a little closer to me
Come a little closer to me
