[Verse 1] I was in third grade
Got a potted plant full of flowers
Ran home and gave them to my mom
She said that they were marigolds
What you call your garden-variety weed

[Chorus] Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me

[Verse 2] So anyway
I should buy my mom a bouquet
Just to say hey, I'm thinking about you today
That's right
Thinking about everything you did for me
Like always saying, "grace sets you free"

[Chorus] Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me

[Bridge] It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore

[Refrain] Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes

[Bridge 1] If I ever do better than second place
I've gotta go and make a play for your heart
A dormant volcano slowly waking up on New Year's Day
I won’t be sprinting to finish the race
But I can feel the butterflies from the start
It’s like we’re outside running and there’s
Nothing but the sun in your eyes

[Refrain] Nothing but the sun in your eyes

[Bridge 2] If I had to be closer to present state
I gotta pull something to tear it apart
A dormant condition I'll be waking up on New Year’s Day
I won’t be sprinting to finish the race
But I could feel the butterflies from the start
You got your blue sunglasses and there’s
Nothing but the sun in your eyes

[Refrain] Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
Nothing but the sun in your eyes
