[Verse 1] If I could be just one thing
I would be what you’re craving
Six foot three with steel blue eyes
Sweep you off of your feet before you count to five
But the truth is I am just a man
Standing five foot ten doing the best I can
And I’ve lived long enough to see
You will never be craving me

[Chorus] Oh whoa whoa whoa
I watched her go
After she planted her love in the top soil
And from the top soil an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June

[Verse 2] If I could sing the way I feel inside
It’d sound happy and sad at the same damn time
‘Cause when you smiled at me on that dance floor
It was the prettiest mask that you ever wore

[Chorus] Oh whoa whoa whoa
I watched her go
After she planted her love in the top soil
And from the top soil an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June

[Outro] From the top soil an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June
