Drawing a connection between a dying flower and a fading love, Matt realizes he might have missed out on what could have been a long and happy marriage.
Note: Per this reddit thread, Flower might have been written before Thiessen’s marriage to Emily Wright in August of 2015.
[Verse 1]
I picked a flower and I named her...
She withered away
A heart like a locket but I'll find a way in
Oh, but beauty has to fade
Oh, I don't know, God I don't know
Just that I want to love somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
[Chorus]
I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep
[Verse 2]
Listenin' to chimes ringing clear as the morning
I’ll set my soul free
I felt my heart sing and my spirit soaring
Was this whole world made for me?
Do you hear wedding bells?
Do you hear wedding bells?
Because I want to love somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
[Chorus]
I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep on the water
[Bridge A]
I think about everything else
And I know that I must love myself
'Til anyone other than me
Can look and then see what I see
And sense where the harmony dwells
Do you hear wedding bells?
[Bridge B]
I picked a flower and I named her (Watched her fade away)
A heart like a locket but I'll find a way in (Not really up to it)
Do you hear wedding bells?
Do you hear wedding bells?
Because I want to love somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody
[Chorus]
I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep on the water
I will never kiss your wonderful lips
I'll never tire of dreaming of it
As I drift off to sleep on the water
