[Verse 1]
If I could be just one thing
I would be what you're craving
6 foot 3 with steel blue eyes
Sweep you off of your feet, before you count to 5
But the truth is I am just a man
Standing 5 foot 10 doing the best I can
And I've lived long enough to see
You will never be craving me

[Chorus]
Oh, 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, 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

Born in Detroit, Michigan, Posner has never shied away from telling folks where he’s from. Growing up with childhood friend Big Sean, music quickly grabbed his attention. Garnering fame in August of 2010 with 31 Minutes to Take Off, he has quickly established himself as not only a singer of pop music but also a songwriter to big names.

He first gained attention in the music world after his dorm room written track that he wrote while attending Duke hit airways via YouTube. He quickly began releasing new material and his mixtapes held top spots on iTunes U charts for several weeks.

He has worked on two sophomore albums in Skyhigh and Pages that ended up being shelved, but he has in the meantime written for stars such as Labrinth, Justin Bieber, as well as Maroon 5, and Nick Jonas.
