Flowers in Your Hair Lyrics
When we were younger
We thought everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
Takes a boy to live
Takes a man to pretend he was there
So then we grew a little
And knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self assured
'Cause it's a long road to wisdom
It's a short one to being ignored
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
By in my eyes, eyeyeye
Be in my heart
So now I think that I could love you back
And I hope its not too late
'Cause you're so attractive
And the way you move
I won't close my eyes
It takes a man to live
It takes a woman to make him compromise
Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes, eyeyeye
Be in my heart
We thought everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
Takes a man to pretend he was there
And knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self assured
It's a short one to being ignored
Be in my heart
By in my eyes, eyeyeye
Be in my heart
And I hope its not too late
'Cause you're so attractive
And the way you move
I won't close my eyes
It takes a woman to make him compromise
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes, eyeyeye
Be in my heart

Great song (and band)! To me, the lyrics are about a man having romantic feelings for a friend from childhood. Initially, he did not think of her more than a friend but eventually came to having romantic feelings for her/loving her:
"So now I think that I could love you back And I hope its not too late"
I dont think there's even a need for explanation here. This song is adorable! Wonderful imagery.
Looks like the meaning is about life and mainly: 'Cause it's a long road to wisdom It's a short one to being ignored
The song is about "growing up." the last step in that "growth" is learning to Compromise or "self-sacrifice."

He's learned there are more important things in life!

Love this song and after listening to it for a while and also reading the other interpretations on this song I've come to a similar conclusion. I think it's about growth and growing up with a person who really knows you. Learning lessons in life that you didn't know before, learning from your mistakes. And in this, getting to grow up with another person by your side. Not having to do everything alone, but also just seeing and realizing the pure beauty and love you have for this other person as the years go by. Learning from each other and helping each other on the long and winding road which is life.
I feel like this is about Bonnie and clyde
