She Gave Good Sunflower Lyrics

Been lost in the headlights all night long
Said I've felt taller, yes I heard the dealers song
Said babe don't mark me absent
I only missed out by a fraction
Be the sun that bursts through my clouds
It's hard enough just livin' on this ground
Chorus:
Said don't pretend to me
Oh I beg and I plead
Your sunflower I need
But nothing would surprise me
I was wrong, now I see
So come on baby and just do me
If you please
This made me reminiscing about the honey we made
I feel warm in your blizzard
And your flood I crave
I won't abuse my anger
I promise you no lecture
Come be the sun bursting through my clouds
It's hard enough just livin' on this ground
chorus

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.

Wonderful, wonderful song. I think the drug references are quite obvious in this one, but at the same time, I think it's deeper than that...it seems to hit at the heart of people using each other as their addictions, and how that can be just as damaging as your 'standard' addiction.
