Petals - Bibio

To see age in a flower

The dawns are speeding up

You know it’ll hurt you

Feel all of a sudden

Tired and teary-eyed

You knew it’d kill you

Don’t wear a tie that’ll choke you

To death in the city

Take it off and forget

Spare the fret that’ll make you

Miss all of summer

Sweat it out and forgive

To see loss in a shower

The petals turn to mush

It still disappoints you

Then less of a sudden

You wire your weary mind

To let it deceive you

Don’t force a smile that’ll make you

Resent the city

Play it soft and forgive

Keep the frown that’ll make you

Squint in the summer

Play it slow and forget
