Neon Matchfade

Sunflower in a Warzone Verse 1 Some girl walked up with a drink in her hand Said, “You’re a sunflower and an army tank” Then disappeared in the neon crowd Like she dropped a match and watched it fade out You laughed at first, but it got in your head Rolled those words around in our bed Said, “What the hell does that even mean?” I said, “Baby, it means she saw what I’ve seen” Pre-Chorus You’re soft where the sunlight lands But hard to move when you make your stand Sweet enough to make the room go still Dangerous enough to bend my will Chorus You’re a sunflower in a warzone Golden skin with a backbone Pretty little thing with a heavy soul Heaven in your eyes, fire in your bones You’re slow heat, steel frame Soft mouth, no shame I don’t know what she meant, but I know damn well You’re the kind of beautiful that gives a man hell Verse 2 You got that dress on, looking like trouble All warm honey and muscle You smile like peace, move like sin Like a locked door I’d break to get in You touch my chest and the whole room fades Like smoke curling off a hand grenade You’re not fragile, you’re not tame You bloom like mercy, you hit like flame Pre-Chorus You’re gentle when the night gets low But there’s thunder underneath that glow A little danger in the way you breathe A little garden wrapped around a war machine Chorus You’re a sunflower in a warzone Golden skin with a backbone Pretty little thing with a heavy soul Heaven in your eyes, fire in your bones You’re slow heat, steel frame Soft mouth, no shame I don’t know what she meant, but I know damn well You’re the kind of beautiful that gives a man hell Bridge Let me love the light and the armor The sweet girl and the charmer The soft hands and the hard stare The wild heart under all that hair You’re velvet over gasoline You’re every bad idea I need You’re Sunday morning, midnight black You’re the kiss and the consequence after that Final Chorus You’re a sunflower in a warzone Golden skin with a backbone Pretty little thing with a heavy soul Heaven in your eyes, fire in your bones You’re slow heat, steel frame Soft mouth, no shame I don’t know what she meant, but I know damn well You’re the kind of beautiful that gives a man hell Outro So let her wonder, let her think Let that strange compliment stay on repeat Because I know exactly why it sank You’re my sunflower My army tank You’re my sweet little war My favorite thing
