Wildflowers Grow

lyrics

Wildflowers grow on the side of the road.
The curve and the weave and the bend and the bow.
Your grandmother laughs on a video call.
You're back to work, but it isn't your fault.

I was only 23 when I became what I thought was a really big deal.
I was so wrong. But I wasn't that young.

How many faces fit on a screen?
How many blows can you take for the team?
Once there were bodies that lay in these beds.
Who do we turn to when it all ends?

I was only 33 when I found what I thought was the end of the line.
Keep the driveway clear. Keep the little one near.
