Song Lyric Analysis

"Flowers in Your Hair"

When we were younger we thought
Everyone was on our side
Then we grew a little
And romanticized the time I saw
Flowers in your hair
Cause it takes a boy to live
But it takes a man to pretend he was there

So then we grew a little and knew a lot
And now we demonstrated it to the cops
And all the things we said
We were self-assured

Cause it's a long road to wisdom
But it's a short one
To being ignored

Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
Be in my heart

So now I think that I could
Love you back
And I hope it's not too late cause you're so attractive
And the way you move
I won't close my eyes
Cause it takes a man to live
But it takes a woman to make him compromise

Be in my eyes
Be in my heart
Be in my eyes ai yai yai
Be in my heart

Young and Naive 

Reminiscing the girl from his childhood

Regrets not making the most of it 

Got wiser 

also more dangerous

Remembering her

Only listened to each other 

Growing up and getting wiser was a long process 

His feelings have changed as he's got older

He loves this woman so much it makes him it compromise, meaning he wants to meet in the middle with her
