The Florist Lyrics

I mean...
Where do you go at this point?
I just don't know
(look)

She's got me smoking someone else's cigarettes
I'm bumming lucy's
A new bad habit
Now I've got a routine
I didn't know so many grey hairs could grow in 16 weeks
So this is where this leads?
And my blue jean pockets, I've burnt holes through all of em'
Even the back
Ya, thats where my wallet was
I wanted to give her the world and more
But couldn't so I gave her everything that I could afford
I met her when she was a florist
Adorable
Perfect if we were to talk of proportions
Physically what I'd choose if I got to hand pick
Down to the skin pigment, green eyes, absinth
And what I thought didn't exist
Proved me wrong as soon as she decided to move her lips
Intelligence met beauty
How could I forget?
She said, "flowers are for the ones who are sorry."
The irony, a girl who made arrangements as an occupation
Didn't believe in such a gesture
Like she hadn't seen love or was fed up with waiting
I remember being glad that I met her

But where to now?
Where to now?
Where to now?
I'll tell you one thing's for sure
This love ain't nothing now

Where to now?
Where to now?
I'll tell you one thing's for sure
This love ain't nothing

I came home all smiles
My mother said she hadn't seen me this happy in such a long while
"Why?" she asked
I replied with a sigh of relief
And said, "This girl, she reminds me of me"
We were on the same page
Even liked the same things
Shared interests, so how could it be?
That after a few months we were at each others throats
With these arguments that I don't even know what were about
The jealousy came into play and then the trust issues
"f*ck you's" took the place of the "I miss you's"
Way that you treated me altered all together
The last time you really kissed me, I can't remember
And it's kind of disappointing, I mean, you could've had it all Shirt off my back, if you wanted, I would have it off
I would've laid it in front of a puddle if I really thought you'd really appreciate it and thank me tomorrow
But I was never perfect
Far from angelic
But you spoke of love like you just learned to spell it
But some things are easier said than done
And love, for you, was certainly one of em' (but where to now?)

But where to now?
Where to now?
Where to now?
I'll tell you one thing's for sure
This love ain't nothing now

Where to now?
Where to now?
I'll tell you one thing's for sure
This love ain't nothing

Truth is I've played truth or dare with liars and risk takers
Turns out you're just like them, this game is your favorite
But never have I ever had to put a finger down
When they ask now if I thought I'd be better with you around
She was clever when she frowned
But it's all part of the plan
This game and the attention that she'd demand
In the past, same mirror I used to scream at
Now portrays a face
Clearly stating, "I'll never go back to that place"
I imagine what it'd be like if we kissed again
Cheap liquor on my tongue, trying to keep it in
The girl who once intrigued me in every aspect
Soon became only appealing when she was undressed
Drunk spins, pacing my apartment floor
Wasting time like, "How couldn't she want him?"
Tried looking from the outside in
Finally found hilarity in the useless attempts
But it's been so long, haven't thought of you since
You were a song, material, a lyric at best
An excuse to sing my god damn again
I need you, like a drunk needs a bucket next to his bed

But where to now?
Where to now?
Where to now?
I'll tell you one thing's for sure
This love ain't nothing now

Where to now?
Where to now?
I'll tell you one thing's for sure
This love ain't nothing
