May Flowers Songtext
von Cursive

I colored this picture for you
A little girl crying in her room
Her mom′s just outside the door, holding her head
Her brother's outside shooting hoops
Yeah, you can see him past her windowsill
But we′re not looking at him the same ever again

Baby, what'd he do to you?
Come on, what happened to you?
Tell mama that you're okay
Mayflowers
She won′t say a single word
The doctors gave up on her
Some things just can′t be cured
Or covered up


These days she's hardly alive (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
She′s already dead in the eyes (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
The house has been silent ever since (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Tell me, what happened to Caroline?
Whatever happened to Caroline?
Whatever happened to Caroline?
C'mon

Baby, what′d he do to you?
Come on, what happened to you?
Mama knows it hurts inside
Deep flower
When you're on your feet again
You′ll grow a resilience to those cold, unrelenting showers

Mayflowers
Grow taller
The harder April storms on the land
If you knew those storms were gonna come
I thought mothers protected their young

Oh-oh, oh-oh
Those rain clouds are hiding your sun (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Now look at what happened to Caroline
Look at what happened to Caroline
Whatever happened to Caroline?


How do we solve a problem like
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, we don't
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Still, we've got to catch those clouds, we′ve got to keep them down
How do we solve a problem we don′t want to know about?
Oh-oh, oh-oh
Oh-oh, we don't
