Forget The Flowers Lyrics
You're tryin' my patience, try pink carnations, red roses and yellow
daffodils
Don't forget the flowers Sunday, I know you will
Displayers of affection and all good intentions, why don't you just send
me the bill
Don't forget the flowers someday, I know you will
Whether you've been takin' me way too seriously, ewwwewwhoo
I can't ever explain why I don't feel the pain, ewwewwhoo
I left you behind I know its been along time, but I'm not over you
Don't forget the flowers someday, I hope I do
You're tryin' my patience, try pink carnations, red roses and yellow
daffodils
Don't forget the flowers someday
I know I will
Don't forget the flowers someday, I know I will
daffodils
Don't forget the flowers Sunday, I know you will
Displayers of affection and all good intentions, why don't you just send
me the bill
Don't forget the flowers someday, I know you will
Whether you've been takin' me way too seriously, ewwwewwhoo
I can't ever explain why I don't feel the pain, ewwewwhoo
I left you behind I know its been along time, but I'm not over you
Don't forget the flowers someday, I hope I do
You're tryin' my patience, try pink carnations, red roses and yellow
daffodils
Don't forget the flowers someday
I know I will
Don't forget the flowers someday, I know I will

This song is about a relationship like I had once....we were pretty much a happy couple but things didnt work out...anyway, afterwards she forgot about most of the good things we had together. Suddenly every fight we had was magnified and every happy moment was reduced. And flowers were literally forgotten (she swore I had only given them to her a few times when I had actually done it dozens of time). The whole song is about that kind of post-breakup forgetfullness.
I think he wants to forget all the things he did for her, but he wants her to still remember. He is hurting right now and wants her to feel the same way.
she got over the break up first... he knows she'll forget the flowers and hopes he will... by the end he KNOWS he will... I'm surprised not more people have commented, this is one of my favs, it's my ringback on my cell phone
i think its kind of a happy song about a break up. i know that seems dumb cuz tweedy is all about the depressing stuff, but, it kind of reverses at the end saying "someday i know i will" so its like, hey what we had was awsome and lets never forget how cool it was, but we will both eventually move on. maybe i just see it that way cuz im going to college and a break up is definitly on the way and i wanna be optimistic
For some reason, I can really see this as a Joaquin Phoenix/Reese Witherspoon as Johnny Cash/June Carter duet...
Like it. I think it's about a failing relationship, or maybe even a break-up, where one is trying to patch things up, but his/her heart isn't really into it...? Not entirely sure.
It could be about funerals
Jeff's just saying "fuck the post-breakup conventions- just get on with it" despite his admission that he's still not over her, which makes him want to fuck the post break-up conventions even more.
