Roses - An Original Song

Lyrics:

I remember the day they came and told me
That you thought nothing was better than lonely
And I cried and fell apart
But gave thanks that you survived

‘Cause if you’re not here who will be my guide
Who will be my light when I can’t go on
AJR is not gonna wait
So let’s get those tickets while we’re A-OK
And let’s go see the show as long as the roses still grow

Yes this world can be cold and bitter
And it feels like you’re trapped in the dead of winter
And I know on the other side there’s summer and rest

But if you’re not here who will be my guide
Who will be my light when I can’t go on
AJR is not gonna wait
So let’s get those tickets while we’re A-OK
And let’s go see the show as long as the roses still grow

When I need someone to hear a secret
I’ll tell it to you ‘cause you’ll always keep it
And when I succeed and have victory
You share my joy like it was you and not me

So I need you to stay, to stay right here
If you disappear

Then the rose pot you gave me when I was blue
Would be the only thing left of you
And I don’t want the only thing left of you
To be the roses you gave me when I was blue

Plus Hallmark movies and late-night snacks
And jumpsuits and turtles and dystopian novels
Volcanoes and music and painting and dogs
And sweatshirts and gold hearts both three sizes too large

It’ll all remind me of you
And it’ll all mean nothing without you

And if you’re not here who will be my guide
Who will be my light when I can’t go on
AJR is not gonna wait
So let’s get those tickets while we’re A-OK
And let’s go see the show
Oh let’s go see the show
Why don’t we go see the show
As long as the roses still grow
