Flowers On the Floor Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lay it all out
I'm tired of this, and it's startin' to rain
Come on, make a sound
Didn't leave tonight for you to say nothing
It's been about a week
Since I've had a bite and it's startin' to show
The bones above my cheeks
Are gonna break the skin if you try to let me go

[Pre-Chorus]
Spillin' all my guts
And I think you kinda love it
Think I might be sick
From how much you know I love ya


[Chorus]
Cheap excuse, no time
Do you even mind that I
Left flowers on the floor?
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse this time
Last time in Hell that I
Leave flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
[Post-Chorus]
Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor


[Verse 2]
Every knuckle taped
I don't wanna fight, but you're out for blood
We could go 10 rounds
But you know the score wouldn't be unanimous
Open up your head
Wanna swim around that tumultuous brain
The bones above my cheeks
Are gonna break the skin if you try to walk away

[Pre-Chorus]
Spillin' all my guts
And I think you kinda love it
Think I might be sick
From how much you know I love ya


[Chorus]
Cheap excuse, no time
Do you even mind that I
Left flowers on the floor?
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse this time
Last time in Hell that I
Leave flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse, no time
Do you even mind that I
Left flowers on the floor?
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse this time
Last time in Hell that I
Leave flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Spillin' all my guts
And I think you kinda love it
Think I might be sick
From how much you know I love you


[Chorus]
Cheap excuse, no time
Do you even mind that I
Left flowers on the floor?
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse this time
Last time in Hell that I
Leave flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse, no time
Do you even mind that I
Left flowers on the floor?
Flowers on the floor
Cheap excuse this time
Last time in Hell that I
Leave flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor

[Post-Chorus]
Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor
Flowers on the floor

About

Genius Annotation

“Flowers On the Floor” is about a toxic relationship in which Paul is constantly rejected by this girl despite his efforts to mend the relationship – his flowers on her porch.

It’s hard not to connect this song to the band’s aesthetic of flowers and roses. While performing, the stage will often be littered with roses that fans throw on stage.
