Lyrics:
when we met
i was eager
i ignored
every warning
i should be ready by now
my dad was steady by now
this is how it’s meant to 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 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
