    Story Behind the Song
    I had this incredible experience with an amazingly special girl at the top of this cliff by the ocean one day. We just talked and picked at the grass, but the moment was so amazing- the ambience of the wind, the heat from the sun, the bright blue ocean and her eyes smiling created this supernatural experience that I couldn't help but immortalize into song. I wanted to be totally real, cut out the crap and just illustrate that perfect feeling of utter peace and content. My wish is that you taste that feeling too.

    Lyrics
    Flowers

    We walked on the edge
    And we sat in the grass
    And we talked about things
    As we thought of the past
    And you looked at the ocean
    And I looked in your eyes
    Then you picked a daisy
    And kept it alive

    You said something funny
    I watched a ship sail below
    It felt like a movie
    But Hollywoods a joke
    You said things tie together
    I said this world is a maze
    Then you picked some more flowers
    And constructed a chain

    CHORUS:
    We wore our crowns made of flowers
    At the top of the world
    And we ruled over small things
    And you were my girl
    Id give up my kingdom
    This small patch of grass
    If I could make Love eternal
    If I could make this day last

    Its a long road to Tucson
    And LA is my friend
    And the Angels are waiting
    To sing once again
    And youve got your dreams
    And youve got your plans
    And when youre on your journey
    Remember the past

    CHORUS:
    We wore our crowns made of flowers
    At the top of the world
    And we ruled over small things
    And you were my girl
    Id sell off this kingdom
    This small patch of grass
    If I could make Love eternal
    And relationships last

    Time is reflexive
    It gives and it breathes
    And itll make you forget
    And itll make you believe
    It goes by so quickly
    But its constancy kills
    I was back at the headlands
    There was fog on the hill

    I remembered that day
    The heat in the air
    My girl with the smile
    And daisies in her hair
    God everything has purpose
    And you have my hand
    Flowers dont last forever
    But memories can.
