Sunflower Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When do you see it all around you
When you fight the light that makes you bloom
Before you break
And petals start to fall around
And I will be the one to catch them when you are crashing down

[Chorus]
Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all?
Before it drags you under

[Verse 2]
Stay, you'll feel it all around you
When you find a way to make it through
Cross the line
Don't find yourself in need of rescue
I can't be the one to catch you

[Chorus]
Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all?
Before it drags you under

[Bridge]
Break and separate
Break and separate
Break and separate
Break and separate

[Chorus]
Can you break away from it all?
Can you break away from it all? (break and separate)
Can you break away from it all? (break and separate)
Can you break away from it all? (break and separate)
Can you break away from it all? (break and separate)

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This song is about reaching out to try and rescue someone who is falling apart (losing their petals/ability to bloom). Someone close to you is losing their battle with depression, addiction or some dark circumstance in life and you're offering them a lifeline. In the second verse of the song, a warning is offered to the person to say you can't always be the one to catch them, so be sure to find your own strength along the way as well.
