Lyrics of Bea Stewart – Talking To Your Sunflowers

I did my makeup on the train today
Cause I’m disorganised and always late
and if I called you up you’d tell me straight
I need to
sort it out it’s not the way I was raised
if you could see me you’d say take it slow
we weren’t built to pass on rest I know
I shouldn’t look around me for my pace to grow
sometimes the brightest blossoms bloom a little slow

But lately everything’s been sad
and your advice it doesn’t come as fast
maybe I’ve got too much going on to ask
if I shut you out I take it all back
and ever since my brothers left
I’ve noticed you’re not at your best
don’t think you want this empty nest like we do

and I heard you’ve been talking to your sunflowers cause you miss me
and though you wanna call you only do it once in every fifty times
I cross your mind and if you’re
thinking I don’t miss you back
come on now
Look again you know me better than that
I’ll walk you through if you still need convincing

You know I’ve always needed space and time
I let a lot of thoughts run round my mind
and catching all of them can take a while so
if you don’t hear from me I’m probably fine
some things I don’t want you to know
like I’ve been wasting time not letting go
of things I should’ve fought so long ago
thought I know you’d just say look how you’ve grown
or do you need a little cash
I’d say I’m good but thank you dad
It’s just my pride you know I get that from you

and I heard you’ve been talking to your sunflowers cause you miss me
and though you wanna call you only do it once in every fifty times
I cross your mind and if you’re
thinking I don’t miss you back
come on now
Look again you know me better than that
I’ll walk you through if you still need convincing

I fill my head with skinny girls and pretty boys who have the world
and wouldn’t see me as the pearl that you do
Am I growing up or growing down
it’s hard to navigate around
But truth is I just wanna be more like you

and I heard you’ve been talking to your sunflowers
Talking to your sunflowers
Talking to your sunflowers
cause you miss me
