Lyrics of “Flowers In The Water” by The Boxer Rebellion
Every year you live it
No second thought is given
That this'll be the day that you die someday
But it won't be now
'Cause you're still too young
And everyone will tell you
Can't give into the worry
Wrap up in the love that you have
'Cause it may not last
Like you remember
 
Don't obsess be an optimist
The glass half-full is bottomless
 
Flowers in the water
Dead before they got there
The writing's on the wall
But you can have it all
Tomorrow isn't written
It's just subconscious visions of escape
An escape
 
I try to think of things
That used to make me happy
I guess a placeholder in time
A frozen image of
My nostalgia
But the poetry of life
Will quickly pass you by
Dreaming of the way that it was
You can't relive your past
Like you remember
 
And I saw the bloom rose-tinted
Don't let your dreams be your mistress
 
Flowers in the water
Dead before they got there
Writing's on the wall
But you can have it all
Tomorrow isn't written
It's just subconscious visions
Wilting in front of us
No thought of ever giving up
 
I gave too much thought to perfect
Too much looking at mirages
And I am lucky just to think it
Catch myself from falling
 
Flowers in the water
Flowers in the water
Flowers in the water
Flowers in the water
