At the first kiss I'm always stunned
I flirt with my silhouette
I walk through walls and words and tasks
Like they were life or maybe breath
I call myself a flower and speak the language of sunset
I call myself a flower and speak the language of sunset
My mouth's too full of clouds so I call you up real late
and say I think I left my heart in your car
and need to know if it's a mistake
tell me if you don't want it or
you'll keep it so it won't break
will you keep so it won't break
please keep it so it won't break
you said, "no, I really guess not
said ya got caught up in the moment
we're friends, we're friends
and then you said, are you disappointed?
I stand up straight upon the phone
Let the winds of one night rage
Oh no, I give ya, I'm fine, you get
As I float to the surface and I disengage
Oh yes I agree we're friends just as much
Of course I promise, forgotten each touch,
I get two points for lying, you take two cuz I adored
And I've won myself nothing
Which I always had before
At the first kiss I'm always stunned
I flirt with my silhouette
I walk through walls and words and tasks
Like they were life or maybe breath
I call myself a flower and speak the language of sunset
I call myself a flower and speak the language of sunset
