Lyrics
Highway Roses
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I don’t want to wait another minute
For the bottom to fall out
I’m tired of the way
I’m taking things for granted with you
Love should feel like sweat in the summer
On a dark grey t-shirt
It’s all about the work
That I have been pretending to do
This could go on and on and on
We both know it’s wrong
But here I am, on aisle 2
Hoping I can find somebody’s words for you
Baby, this can’t be love
If we’re always giving up
I’m tired of showing up with highway roses
Baby, this can't be love
That's a feeling we've been dreaming of
I’m tired of showing up with highway roses
I can't shake the feeling like
You've always just remembered to love me
Like I am just the gum
You're grabbing in the checkout line (aw yeah, aw yeah)
So I don't wanna take another minute
For what this won't be
Cause if it's gonna end
We might as well start saying goodbye
Time comes in gets comfortable
Years go by before you know
Quick to say apologies
I accept too easily
Call to say you're running late
Throw some take out on the plate
I don't even try to wait
For you
I wanna know
If this road we're on
Will keep us hanging on
'Til we break through
And I wanna know
If this road we're on
Will keep us hanging on
'Til we break through
