​sunflower.
[Verse 1]
Yeah, I had three pair of high heels
I never even wore
'Cause I've been taller than the boys
Since I was a sophomore
And I still remember the summer
I towered over my mother
They said I shot up like a weed
A little too much to ignore

[Chorus]
If I could talk to me when I was young
Stickin' out like a sore thumb
I'd tell me to stand a little prouder
And I'd say you might feel a little crazy
Tryin' to fit in with them daisies
Someday that'll be your superpower
And it might take 'til twenty-one
But you'll find your place in the sunflower

[Verse 2]
I couldn't blame it on the dirt
So I tried to blame it on my dad
He's part of why I'm insecure
And why I grew up way too fast
I ain't been fragile or dainty
Since sometime back in the '80s
It's why I look good in a skirt
So I won't apologize for that
[Chorus]
If I could talk to me when I was young
Stickin' out like a sore thumb
I'd tell me to stand a little prouder
And I'd say you might feel a little crazy
Tryin' to fit in with them daisies
Someday that'll be your superpower
And it might take 'til thirty-one
But you'll find your place in the sunflower
Sunflower

[Bridge]
You're solid gold girl, you're hometown tough
And you look the best when you're lookin' up

[Chorus]
If I could talk to me when I was young
Stickin' out like a sore thumb
I'd say be a stand-out-in-a-crowder
And I'd say nothing's wrong and you ain't crazy
The fact that you just ain't a daisy
Girl, that's gonna be your super power
And it might take 'til ninety-one
But just keep turnin' to the sunflower
You'll have your day in the sunflower
[Outro]
Sunflower
Just keep chasin' the sunflower
