Roses

When we met I was eager
I ignored every warning

I should be ready somehow
My dad was steady by now
I think this is how it's meant to go
Go

If I would lie
And say it feels right
If I would just waste your time
I want it just as much as you do

But ooh
When I close my eyes
Oh it feels quite nice
But I can't smell the roses round here
Ooh
In the cold half-light
Why do I feel I've lied
I can't smell the roses, not here

We get jobs at the florist on the corner
Fake CVs, our poor boss, we should have warned her

I'll propose with a bouquet of plastic
And you'll pack up your bags
You'll say "I'm ready now"
"I'm ready now"

If you would lie and say it feels right
If you would just waste my time
I want it just as much as you do

But ooh
When I close my eyes
Oh it feels quite nice
But I can't smell the roses round here
Ooh
In the cold half-light
Why do I feel I've lied
I can't smell the roses, not here

Ooh
