Flowers
Blooms of Redemption: A Tale of Transformation
Lyrics
I should've took you dancin'
I regret not taking you dancing.
A little candle light romancin', with roses
I wish we had shared moments of candlelight romance with roses.
But I was high upon a bar stool
I was intoxicated at a bar, not realizing my mistakes.
I was such a blind fool, now I know it
I was foolish and blind, but now I acknowledge it.
You won't believe how much I've changed since you left
Since you left, I've undergone significant positive changes.
It took loosin' you, for me to find myself
It took losing you for me to discover and understand myself.
Oh, I wish that you could see me
I wish you could witness the positive changes in me.
Steady hands without the whiskey, you'd be so proud
Now I have steady hands without the influence of alcohol, something you'd be proud of.
Got that job down at the factory
I have a job at the factory now, showing stability and responsibility.
A brand new suit for Sunday, I'm in church now
I have a new suit for Sundays and attend church regularly.
It's been one year since I sat behind a bar
It has been a year since I last sat behind a bar.
I went by the junk-yard, they've still got our car
Passed by the junkyard and noticed our car is still there, a reminder of the past.
I still see you on your knees
I still vividly remember you on your knees, pleading for me not to drive.
Beggin' me not to drive
You begged me not to drive.
But I took away the keys
Despite your pleas, I took away the keys and made you get in the car.
And made you climb inside
I put you in a dangerous situation by making you climb into the car.
An' I'd take your place in this field of stone
I would willingly take your place in this metaphorical field of stone (grave) if I had the power.
If I only had the power
Expressing regret for not having the power to change the past.
Look what it took
Reflecting on the significant events that led to the realization of the need for change.
For me to finally bring you flowers
Realizing the importance of expressing love and regret by bringing flowers now.
Oh, I'd take your place in this field of stone
Reiteration of the willingness to take the partner's place in the metaphorical field of stone.
If I only had the power
Expressing a desire to change the past if it were possible.
Look what it took
Reflecting on the events that prompted the realization and the gesture of bringing flowers.
For me to finally bring you flowers
Emphasizing the significance of finally expressing remorse by bringing flowers.
Just look what it took
Highlighting the substantial effort and realization that led to bringing flowers.
For me to finally bring you flowers
Emphasizing the significance of the gesture—bringing flowers—as an act of remorse and love.
