If I Gave You Flowers
Sometimes breakups happen abruptly and are anything but mutual, and so the person left is resolved to get their lover back. This is a song about that. "If I gave you flowers" was just a line in my head all day. I couldn't go to sleep until I wrote this song. I'm really happy with the way it turned out, especially the chorus. I think the wording throughout is very clever.

V1
Seems that she don't wanna keep nothin'
Took what we had and threw it away
All that's left are burning questions, why she didn't stay
Maybe I wasn't good to her
Not what she needed, and so that was that
But, Lord, I'm just a man and I want her back
I want her to try again with me
I try to stay strong but I'm weak
So the plan's to give her something
She decides to keep
(Chorus)
If I gave you a phone call
Would your hang-up be that it's too soon
And if I fetched you the sun
Would you still want the moon
So if I sang you a love song
Would you listen for old time's sake
And if I gave you flowers, baby
Would you keep 'em in a vase
V2
In my mind the clock is a-tickin'
With a line of guys 'round the block
Vying for her heart hoping they come out on top
Or maybe she needs some alone time
Nary a one would stand 'em a chance
And so I hope her feet are just too tired to dance
If so, I'll wait around 'til she's rested
Swoop in and try to give it a whirl
Hoping maybe she's kept the memories
When we used to twirl
(Chorus)
V3
The reflections of her are relentless
Her face follows me wherever I move
Though it's a pretty picture that I hope I never lose
Some people would say it ain't healthy
How I'm holding too long to a hope
I'm sayin' she'll come around while they're sayin' she won't
But I remember the girl being happy
A lifetime not too long in the past
And if she keeps me close again
This time it'll last
(Chorus)
