Flowers Where Your Face Should Be Lyrics - The Wonder Years

Bright blue hydrangeas 

Lost in the weeds 

Bus stops and barbed wire on the way to stare 

At the heart of the earth from the Poas peak 

Just like the ones that we grew back in Jersey 

Hung upside down, drying out for the wedding 

There's a man with his head in his hands on the sidewalk 

His wife's there behind him just off of the street 

She scratches his back as he sobs on the asphalt 

And what strikes me most is the symmetry 

How they're framed just like you and me 

When the light from the hospital's eastern wing 

Tangles up in your hair and the sadness that pooled in my heart 

Starts emptying slowly

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Well I saw you last night in my dream 

And there were hydrangeas where your face should be 

The redwoods feel lonely and lunar and distant 

The sun comes in fragments through breaks in the trees 

And I feel further from home than I've ever been 

These thin lines of light across space tether you to me 

They pull in my memories, back to our apartment on 2nd Street 

Through the south-facing window the light catches lengths of your hair 

Like a path that you left me 

Well I saw you last night in my dream 

But there were azaleas where your face should be

Pieces of us in the morning sun 

Sleeping bags under the 101 

She takes off his glasses and she falls asleep again 

They don't got much but goddamn they got love 

I saw you last night in my dream 

I'm gonna marry you underneath driftwood from Crescent City
