City of Flowers

Pack your bags, we're leaving out of town Wear that big black scarf wrapped around your pretty face I'm not gonna stand here hopelessly, while I see you cry Leave those mess, we'll jump into the car Roll the windows down, get your senses back to you And put out that cigarette, that thing will kill you slowly And yeah, it only takes two hours from here And yeah, when we get there, we'll write our brand new story We're going to a place I know, where I was born The city of flowers' been waiting so long Life too short, you could've been shot Remember this time, leave all your troubles behind All your life you've waited for a time when that someone comes To get your feet back on the ground I'll be that someone to help just like in that Beatles song So here we go, we're going to a place At the rainbows end, to put some colors back on you Let me be the gold, and I will put the shine on you And yeah, we only have two exits to go Yeah, when we get there the pages will start turning We're going to a place I know, where I was born The city of flowers' been waiting so long Life too short, you could've been shot Remember this time, leave all your troubles behind And all the lies you heard before keep coming back to you They linger on the places you longed to forget Well, I won't lie, it won't be easy Sometimes they're back knocking on your door Now you tell them that you don't live here anymore We're going to a place I know, where I was born The city of flowers' been waiting so long Life too short, you could've been shot Remember this time, leave all your troubles behind A place I know, where I was born The city of flowers' been waiting so long Life too short, we could've been shot So remember this time, leave all your troubles behind
