[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 (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Oh, I'm a marigold
Oh, I'm a marigold
And you picked me
[Post-Chorus]
It's not sad anymore
Oh, it's not sad anymore
It's not sad anymore

[Refrain]
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
If I'll 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 (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)

[Bridge]
If I had to be closer to present state (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I gotta pull something to tear it apart
A dormant condition slowly waking up on New Year's Day (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
I won't be sprinting to finish the race (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh), but I can feel the butterflies from the start
You got your blue sunglasses, and there's nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Refrain]
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Nothing but the sun in your eyes (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
