[Verse 1]

If I could be just one thing

I would be what you're craving

6 foot 3 with steel blue eyes

Sweep you off of your feet, before you count to 5

But the truth is I am just a man

Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I can

And I've lived long enough to see

You will never be craving me

[Chorus]

Oh, I watched her go

After she planted her love in the top soil

And from the top soil, an iris bloomed

It was pretty in May, but it died in June

[Verse 2]

If I could sing the way I feel inside

It'd sound happy and sad at the same damn time

'Cause when you smiled at me on that dance floor

It was the prettiest mask that you ever wore

[Chorus]

Oh, I watched her go

After she planted her love in the top soil

And from the top soil, an iris bloomed

It was pretty in May, but it died in June

[Outro]

From the top soil, an iris bloomed

It was pretty in May, but it died in June
