[Verse 1]
Quiet hours
You have always been my wildflower
Showing up wherever beauty's lost its way
Your heart must break
I was free
Until I heard the song you sang me to me
Pulling me away from everything I knew
To be with you

[Chorus]
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
Free to fly

[Verse 3]
Here we are
Burning faster than the closest star
Falling back down to the Earth
I love you so it sometimes hurts
Closer still
You will find me standing on the hill
Waiting for you with my arms stretched open wide
Now come inside

[Chorus]
And everything I know just fades away
And every time you go it hurts me so
I don't know why when I know we're free
We're free to fly

[Chorus Variation]
And everything I know just fades away
And when a wildflower grows, it picks its space
And that's the way it is, when nature plays
Its lovely hand, we'll understand
Everything
Everything
Everything
