Iris

[Verse 1] If I could be just one thing I would be what you're craving 6 foot 3 with steel blue eyes Sweep you off of your feet, before you count to 5 But the truth is I am just a man Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I can And I've lived long enough to see You will never be craving me [Chorus] Oh, I watched her go After she planted her love in the top soil And from the top soil, an iris bloomed It was pretty in May, but it died in June [Verse 2] If I could sing the way I feel inside It'd sound happy and sad at the same damn time 'Cause when you smiled at me on that dance floor It was the prettiest mask that you ever wore [Chorus] Oh, I watched her go After she planted her love in the top soil And from the top soil, an iris bloomed It was pretty in May, but it died in June [Outro] From the top soil, an iris bloomed It was pretty in May, but it died in June
