Lyrics:

“Iris” is the seventh song on Mike Posner’s 2016 album At Night, Alone.. Set to a serene melody, Adam and Mike’s lyrics paint a picture so utterly relatable to too many of us.
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

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

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

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

From the top soil, an iris bloomed
It was pretty in May, but it died in June
