chain of flowers

i know you're hanging around outside my door
i know you've been here six times today or maybe more
i know you're hesitating, but i'm here waiting
don't you know, it'll be alright?
don't you know, it'll be alright?

maybe you could become a friend of mine
everytime you come around here
you leave a dandelion
and i've been sitting here for hours,
making a chain of flowers
don't you know, it'll be alright?

the chains of flowers are fragile things, they break in time
but the chains of love are the chains of love, are the chains that bind
the chains of flowers are fragile things, they break in time
but the chains of love are the chains of love,
are the chains of love, are the chains of love

people keep telling me i'm lonely
but i'd be happy if you'd only
throw that door open wide and step inside
and everything would be alright
and everything would be alright
yeah, everything would be alright, alright

please wake up
it's so dark and cold
please wake up
i feel so alone
and i feel so scared
that you're going away
and i feel so scared...

all i want is summer
stories from before
just like the day you tried to hide
behind the churchyard wall
and fell asleep before i came...

i found you
in a chain of flowers
sleeping like a marble girl
sleeping in another world...

i'll never tell you
of all the different ways
you make me so afraid...
