Daisies

[Verse 1] She stayed a little longer Than she needed to last night Her shoulder leaning into mine Like leaving didn’t feel quite right I know better than to name it I know better than to ask So I found a little daisy And started pulling petals [Pre-Chorus] One for every almost One for every thought One for every time she gives me Everything she’s not [Chorus] She loves me She looked for me across the room Like I was where she wanted to be She loves me not Maybe I just caught her looking Maybe it didn’t mean anything at all She loves me Her hand found mine And neither one of us let go She loves me not If she wanted me Wouldn’t I already know? [Verse 2] She tells me things in whispers She won’t say in morning light Leads me somewhere close to sacred Then disappears inside And I can feel her wanting Right before she turns away So I keep interrogating Every petal that I take [Chorus] She loves me She knows the smallest things about me Things I never meant to show She loves me not Maybe she’s just good at listening Maybe that’s as far as it goes She loves me She pulls me close Like distance hurts her too She loves me not Maybe I’m just making wishes Out of things I want to be true [Bridge] There’s only three left now And suddenly I’m scared Two little possibilities And one that isn’t fair She loves me… I breathe She loves me not… I wait One petal left Between my fingers But I don’t pull it away [Outro] I could be laying in a field of daisies Begging just to know But there would be a pile of petals And only a pile would it show I could ask a thousand flowers What she’s too afraid to say But every answer that I’m looking for Is hers to give away Maybe love isn’t a flower Maybe flowers shouldn’t choose Maybe someday she’ll say it When she’s ready to So I leave the final petal Right where it is She loves me… She loves me not… I’ll let her choose.
