lyrics
[Verse 1]
I think I tried a little too hard
Did I go a little too far?
Did I settle for a rental of your heart?
Well, the sun was always setting on us, bettin’ distance would tear us apart
Did the orchid lose all of its petals?
Patiently racing time, testing my mettle
I pushed the pace, but even still to this day all I could see is your face and it’s just
[Chorus]
Picturesque as the cherry blossoms
Pretty as a walk in the park
Is there a pink glow shining through your window?
Do you get light from the stars?
Did we meet in the wrong season,
Well before the flowers were to bloom?
[Verse 2]
Oh, was I a fool?
I couldn’t figure out if I could ever change your mind or accept that truth
And feel the way that you do
I couldn’t if I wanted to
Cuz you’re just out of reach like a cloud in the sky
Are you a wisp of a mist that passed me by?
In time will I get a second try?
If not, at least I’ll have those nights
My body shakes when you glance at me
There’s nowhere that I’d rather be
Is this feeling ephemeral?
No, I wish you didn’t have to go
[Chorus]
Picturesque as the cherry blossoms
Pretty as a walk in the park
Is there a pink glow shining through your window?
Do you get light from the stars?
Did we meet in the wrong season,
Well before the flowers were to bloom?
[Verse 3]
And so I’m gone
Faded out like the colors of a blossom come autumn
I fell hard with nothing to soften
Girl, I’m just being honest,
Someone like you don’t come around often
Thought I found someone to be lost with
Be the talk of the town, be the gossip
Don’t really care where you choose to bloom
But I pray that I can cherish another beautiful view with you
[Finale]
Picturesque as the cherry blossoms
Perfect as a walk in the park
Is there a pink glow beaming through your window?
Do you still shine where you are?
I think we met in the wrong season,
Well before the flowers were to bloom
