Where the Roses Grow

I've probably driven past your house
At least a thousand times
Where the roses grow, and the time goes slow
That's where our worlds collide
Isn't it interesting
That though I lived so close to you
You were still so distant
And I got seen through

The lies you told me
Just to push me aside
Left me lonely
You said goodbye far too often
For it to mean more than a lie
Now who's talkin'?
(Now who's talkin'?)

I've probably driven past our school
At least a thousand times
Where by day we'd stay away from each other
And we'd dare see eye-to-eye
I think it's so interesting
That though I thought I knew you
My eyes were deceiving me
(I never knew you)

The lies you told me
Just to push me aside
Left me lonely
You said goodbye far too often
For it to mean more than a lie
Now who's talkin'?
Now who's talkin'?
I still think of what we could have been
My hand in your hand, our hair in the wind
No-one to tell us what to say or what to do
'Cause down in the valley
Where the roses grow
Is where we'd stay
Is where we'd go
To outrun our lives and pretend we were just fine
Just fine
(Just fine)
