[Verse 1]
Forgive the space between
What's said and what I mean
Though the tape has long been dead
It plays on in my head
[Chorus]
Yeah, I heard that flowers grow
Upon the grave of the late Van Gogh
I bit the siren's line
But I escaped in time (2x)
(That's right)
[Verse 2]
You know it's so hard to find
Someone to lend you time
You dream of somewhere else
'cause you can't accept yourself
[Chorus]
Yeah, I heard that flowers grow
Upon the grave of the late Van Gogh
I bit the siren's line
But I escaped in time
[Verse 3]
Yea we should talk about it
Which of us could have foreseen?
The pedals of flowers falling
Across the front porch screen
