lyrics

I would love to just call her
But she wouldn't be talking to me
I want to be silent together
And I won't hang up 'till she's asleep

I would love to but I can't, I can't
'cause I'm still on the phone with you

Let's burn all the roses now
Comfort ourselves with the heat of the fire
And when we run out, lose what we admire
Life without roses, a permanent frown

We are watching the sunrise
I'm drawing our names in the sand
And just as I want to start talking
She quietly squeezes my hand

I don't want to go, because when I wake up
I'm still lying next to you

Let's burn all the roses now
Comfort ourselves with the heat of the fire
And when we run out, lose what we admire
Life without roses, a permanent frown
