Roads and Roses Lyrics

Just another rose

Just another spring that came to a close

Just another thing I'm dealing with

Thorns in our innocence

Just another path

The one that least resists

Or else we'll crash

Whatever you insist

It's how we've got to leave it

It's common sense

When we did we get here

We are no longer growing

We twain won't meet again

So long as we keep going

And I hope you'll go for

Long as you possibly can

You showered me with praise

And also fed me dirt

And I returned the same

But maybe it's all worth

Whatever we can take

From our experience

The road behind is littered

The road ahead is clear

I might just plant a few seeds

When I'm in second gear

A thing of beauty to help me make amends

When we did we get here

We are no longer growing

We twain won't meet again

So long as we keep going

And I hope you'll go for

Long as you possibly can

We gave each other roses

We gave each other thorns

What a beautiful way to say

We tore each other with our horns

And I hope you'll go far

Far as you possibly can

I know, I know

We made a garden bed

Had plans to lay in it

We said we never would unearth it

We paved the road so we wouldn't

Have to stay in it

The promises we gave just weren't worth it

When we did we get here

We are no longer growing

We twain won't meet again

So long as we keep going

I hope you'll go for

Long as you possibly can

We gave each other roses

We gave each other thorns

What a beautiful way to say

We tore each other with our horns

And I hope you'll go far

As the winds blow far

We can only see up the road up ahead

So far, but

I know you'll grow far

And I plan to do the same

I hope you understand

But you won't see me again
