Lyrics
He puts on airs, he wears them like a raincoat, all my affections pour down.
He has no cares, or he buries them like silver, with all his affection, deep down.
Sometimes I'm a sunflower, can't hold my head up, can't hold my head up, Sometimes I want to pin him down, and make him open up, and make him open up. Sometimes I'm a sunflower, sometimes I want to pin him down.
He sits and stares, pierced by the arrow of reflection, when all his defenses, are down.
Repeat Chorus.
But maybe he's a child inside a man, maybe he's a top that can't slow down, maybe he's just lost at love too ofter, now sees it only as a thorny crown, so I lay down.
