This song comes from the idea that a lot of times, we grow the most and learn the most about ourselves when we’re in a time of struggle. A moonflower is a flower that blooms at night, which is symbolic of the theme of the song.
[Verse 1]
Baby girl you’re just not smilin’ like you used to
You’ve been treated oh so wrong, you’re gettin’ used to it
Let me be your getaway, take you to a higher place
We can kick it in the stars while moon’s blue and
Know yourself before you fall for someone else
I been preachin’ that for way too long, I need it for myself, I know
But when the lights low, does he call back?
Unrequited love, exactly whatchu call that
I been a victim of my own thoughts
I can’t slow down when I start feelin’ lost
I sit crossed-legged in the dark and I fall apart
Then the light shine through the window, guess it’s a start, and
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’d a thought from the mud a flower would grow
Long as the sun is shinin’ apples fall in avalon
I don’t know where we’re goin’ but you’re not in this alone
Open up I wanna hear your story, lemme see your soul
[Chorus]
You say you’ve been to hell and back
Well shit I’ve been there too baby
I can’t open up I can’t relax
Until I realize
We’re all flowers straight out the mud
Don’t waste your time, do what you love
I know I’ve been drinkin’ all in this club
Got memories flowin’ but I gotta keep goin’ steady movin’ up
[Verse 2]
Growing pains don’t hurt so much
When you know exactly what you’re here to do
But you still need to keep your head up above the water
When it’s risin’ and you got nothing left to lose
Go baby, diamonds come from coal baby
You know you can hit my phone when you feel alone baby
I know you deserve whatchu think you don’t
I know someone told you you’re the worst, lemme tell you someone’s wrong
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’d a thought from the mud a flower would grow
Long as the sun is shinin’ apples fall in avalon
I don’t know where we’re goin’ but you’re not in this alone
Open up I wanna hear your story, lemme see your soul
[Chorus]
You say you’ve been to hell and back
Well shit I’ve been there too baby
I can’t open up I can’t relax
Until I realize
We’re all flowers straight out the mud
Don’t waste your time, do what you love
I know I’ve been drinkin’ all in this club
Got memories flowin’ but I gotta keep goin’ steady movin’ up
[Bridge]
We’re flowers out the mud
Flowers out the mud girl
Flowers out the mud
[Pre-Chorus]
Who’d a thought from the mud a flower would grow
Long as the sun is shinin’ apples fall in avalon
I don’t know where we’re goin’ but you’re not in this alone
Open up I wanna hear your story, lemme see your soul
[Chorus]
You say you’ve been to hell and back
Well shit I’ve been there too baby
I can’t open up I can’t relax
Until I realize
We’re all flowers straight out the mud
Don’t waste your time, do what you love
I know I’ve been drinkin’ all in this club
Got memories flowin’ but I gotta keep goin’ steady movin’ up
