[Verse 1]
I brought flowers to your door last night
I done you wrong, and I wanna make it right
You say I'm not welcome here
I know it oughta be perfectly clear
But I can't help but wonder what it might be like
The song opens with the narrator expressing their desire to make things right after admitting to wrongdoing. They bring flowers to their partner's door as a symbol of their sincerity and remorse. Despite their past mistakes, they still hold hope for a chance at reconciliation.
[Verse 2]
If I had two dozen roses
And an older bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon
Would it change your mind?
In this verse, the narrator contemplates the idea of offering not just flowers but also an older bottle of wine, signifying a more significant gesture of reconciliation. They ponder whether such a grand gesture, like being able to "hang the moon," could change their partner's mind and bring them back into their life.
{Verse No. 3}
If I could cry a little harder
And get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses
Would it change your mind?
The final verse delves deeper into the narrator's emotional struggle. They express a willingness to cry and lose sleep over the situation if it means they can mend the broken relationship. The repetition of the idea of having "two dozen roses" emphasizes the importance of this gesture as a symbol of their love and commitment.
The Complete Lyrics
I brought flowers to your door last night
I done you wrong, and I wanna make it right
You say I'm not welcome here
I know it oughta be perfectly clear
But I can't help but wonder what it might be like
If I had two dozen roses
And an older bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon
Would it change your mind?
If I could cry a little harder
And get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses
Would it change your mind?
Oh, I must've been a fool back then
To lose somethin' that you can't have again
I've done all that I know to do
And second-guess my every move
I can't help but wonder how it might have been
If I had two dozen roses
And an older bottle of wine
If I really could've hung the moon
Would it change your mind?
If I could cry a little harder
And get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses
Would it change your mind?
If I could cry a little harder
And get a little less sleep at night
If I had two dozen roses
Would it change your mind?
Oh, baby, could you change your mind?
Oh, baby, would you change your mind?
Oh, baby, would you change your mind?
