Roses

I can't wait for the moment to seize it
(But it feels so far away)
I hold on, but I'm falling to pieces
Yeah

Looks so good from the outside looking in
But real life's got me right back down again
And I don't wanna be here anymore
No

We're moving too fast and everybody knows it
I don't wanna lose nobody else to overdosin'
Feeling left out till you told me I'm chosen
I just gotta stop and smell the roses
Don't look down when the sun comes out
There's beauty in the moment your heart is unfrozen
I see stars through the thunderclouds
I just gotta stop and smell the roses

When it hurts and I can't find the reason
(I'm just trying not to break)
And I'm shipwrecked, but I got a feeling

I can't keep spiraling on my way down
Feet on the ground, but my heart in the clouds
And I'm not gonna stay here anymore
No

We're moving too fast and everybody knows it
I don't wanna lose nobody else to overdosin'
Feeling left out till you told me I'm chosen
I just gotta stop and smell the roses
Don't look down when the sun comes out
There's beauty in the moment your heart is unfrozen
I see stars through the thunderclouds
I just gotta stop and smell the roses

Slow down I can't let these blessings go unnoticed
I don't wanna spend more time looking at thorns than roses

We're moving too fast and everybody knows it
I don't wanna lose nobody else to overdosin'
Feeling left out till you told me I'm chosen
I just gotta stop

We're moving too fast and everybody knows it
I don't wanna lose nobody else to overdosin'
Feeling left out till you told me I'm chosen
I just gotta stop and smell the roses
Don't look down when the sun comes out
There's beauty in the moment your heart is unfrozen
I see stars through the thunderclouds
I just gotta stop and smell the roses

Slow down I can't let these blessings go unnoticed
I don't wanna spend more time looking at thorns than roses
