Flowers On Your Grave
This one just poured out of me like it was a memory. There was no inspiration for it. I didn't have anything in mind. It's like I started writing on auto-pilot and this came out. I was amazed when it was finished. Easily one of the best songs I've ever written. It has a very powerful message and describes love in myriad ways. The love of family, of a lover, and speaks about love as an eternal concept, not just a physical thing. I'm proud that I wrote this.

The last time I saw my granddad alive
Was the day I turned thirteen
He gave me a five-dollar bill
And brushed his hand across my cheek
Said, "Son, you've grown, but not so much
Until you've found someone"
Held a picture of my grandma up
Said, "Let me tell you about love"
(Chorus)
It's a light that shines both day and night
And helps you find your way
Puts an ending to those feet that move
And makes you want to stay
It's the calming warm after a storm
It's the feeling you've been saved
And it's the only thing worth living for
It's the flowers on your grave
I thought a while after he died
Did he realize I was too young
To understand everything he meant
What the hell did I know 'bout love
But my mama cried at his graveside
When we were visiting one day
It washed over me like a river's tide
As I laid a rose down in place
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Money and houses won't remember you
They won't cry once you are gone
The things you own can't feel at all
They don't pass you're memory on
He said, "That's not what love is"
(Chorus)
