Red Roses

(album: HOMESICK - 2019)

[Sawyer Nunes:]
You're my red rose
You're all that I know
Nowhere I can go (I can't go)
Nowhere to call home

I've been living with this regret
Negative thoughts all in my head
It's shaping up to be a summer that I'll never forget
Stuck in my bed, dreaming in red
I thought you and I could kick it
Just like those Instagram pictures
We had in our minds then
It was way back when
Back when the sun set on the river
I didn't miss ya
And these flowers would impress ya
But these petals gotta fall someday

And I'll see you when I go
When these roses hit the floor
Goddammit I'm lost without you
But I'm over the doubts
I got these medals all on my neck now
It don't feel the same
But I know it's for the better
Get your own goddamn sweater 'cause you can't have mine

[Jude Lipkin:]
Baby won't you take these flowers
I've been waiting for an hour
Standing in the rain outside of your place
Standing in the rain outside of your place
If you wanna take more time it's okay
If you're ready now I'm waiting always
I'm waiting all day
I'm dreaming all day
I'm sick of yawning

[Sawyer Nunes:]
All up inside my head
It's been all up inside my head
Is it something I might've said?
Something I might have left out on the table?
It's unstable
Are my flowers in your vase still?
Are these petals gonna fall someday?

And I'll see you when I go
When these roses hit the floor
Goddammit I'm lost without you
But I'm over the doubts
I got these medals all on my neck now
It don't feel the same, but I know it's for the better

[Jude Lipkin:]
Do you waste time or do you get by?
Sleep on my side
Hearing the creaks
Kiss on the cheek, what's it to me?
I slept by my parents when I turned thirteen
When you cross my mind
You're all that I see
I'm still in the darkness
The nightmare's the hardest, uh

And I'll see you when I go
When these roses hit the floor
Goddammit I'm lost without you
But I'm over the doubts
I got these medals all on my neck now
It don't feel the same
But I know it's for the better
