“Flowers” talks about George’s relationship and realisation of the mistakes he made – and admitting that he had been selfish to the person he loves.
[Verse 1:]
Buy her flowers 'cause I feel like I want to impress her
She likes saving money so I got them cheap
Been ages since I told her how I like her haircut
She doesn't believe me, so I say again
[Pre-Chorus:]
Every evening I spend with you
I just make you feel strange
Just pretending to read the news
Never acting my age
Just been thinking about myself
I don't make time for you
Think it's time I apologise
[Chorus:]
If I buy you flowers
Would that be okay?
And if I buy you flowers
Just a small bouquet
Would that be okay?
[Verse 2:]
It's already getting later in the day
I haven't done the dishes, I don't think I help myself
How do I get back to being more on top of things
I feel like I just let her down again
[Pre-Chorus:]
Every evening I spend with you
I just make you feel strange
Just pretending to read the news
Never acting my age
Just been thinking about myself
I don't make time for you
Think it's time I apologise
[Chorus:]
If I buy you flowers
Would that be okay?
And if I buy you flowers
Just a small bouquet
Would that be okay?
[Post-Chorus:]
Daffodils and roses
Pocket full of posies
I'm not great at this, I'm sorry
Really truly sorry
If I buy you flowers
Would that be okay
Just a small bouquet
[Bridge / Pre-Chorus:]
Every evening I spend with you
I just make you feel strange
Just pretending to read the news
Never acting my age
Just been thinking about myself
I don't make time for you
Think it's time I apologise
[Chorus:]
If I buy you flowers
Would that be okay?
And if I buy you flowers
Just a small bouquet
Would that be okay?
[Post-Chorus:]
Daffodils and roses
Pocket full of posies
I'm not great at this, I'm sorry
Really truly sorry
If I buy you flowers
Would that be okay
Just a small bouquet
[Outro:]
(If I buy you flowers)
