Marigold - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

I was in third grade

Got a potted plant full of flowers

Ran home and gave them to my mom

She said that they were marigolds

What you call your garden-variety weed

Oh, I'm a marigold

And you picked me

So anyway

I should buy my mom a bouquet

Just to say, "Hey, I'm thinking about you today"

That's right

Thinking about everything you did for me

Like always saying, "Grace sets you free"

Oh, I'm a marigold (Ooh-ooh-ooh)

Oh, I'm a marigold

And you picked me

It's not sad anymore

Oh, it's not sad anymore

It's not sad anymore

Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

If I'll ever do better than second place

I've gotta go and make a play for your heart

A dormant volcano slowly waking up on New Year's Day

I won't be sprinting to finish the race, but I can feel the butterflies from the start

It's like we're outside running, and there's nothing but the sun in your eyes

Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

If I had to be closer to present state (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I gotta pull something to tear it apart

A dormant condition slowly waking up on New Year's Day (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

I won't be sprinting to finish the race (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), but I can feel the butterflies from the start

You got your blue sunglasses, and there's nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
