"Rosie" lyrics
Static in your head keep screaming like a banshee
All you gotta do is nothing at all
And while it gets worse catch me slumping in the pews
Deleting footprints like a cannibal haul
You wanted to feel the same as 2012 in June
But something's in retrograde and possibly eroding away
We're eclipsed, but bleeding light
Let me read your rights while your knuckles turn white
You won't let me get a word in I swear
I made my bed like a navy seal tucked it in tight
It's cool 'cause now you know I don't have to care
I wanted to feel like I did when I left you in the park
But if I'm gonna skip therapy
My shitty brain chemistry is gonna get a good headstart
We're eclipsed, but bleeding light
Prop me up against the backdrop
I'm sick of talking bullshit non-stop
Kind of looks a little like I've been a bad friend to you
And I need a role model to rescue
Could you teach me how to
Switch off and watch tv
Sleep light and get up early
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
The world was wearing thin
And then you walked right in
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
I don't wanna look for trouble
But there's nothing that is gonna get the levitating out of my head
I wonder which name I'm gonna carve into my chest
When they find me hanging out in the shed
I wanted to stand 10 foot tall, build a family in these walls
I'm eclipsed, but bleeding light
Prop me up against the backdrop
I'm sick of talking bullshit non-stop
Kind of looks a little like I've been a bad friend to you
And I need a role model to rescue
Could you teach me how to
Switch off and watch tv
Sleep light and get up early
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
The world was wearing thin
And then you walked right in
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
All the clever words keep marching in droves
Bending all the truth holding plastic to the stove
If I pull another miracle I'll buy us both a home
But I don't wanna be sleeping there alone
Throw out all the sentiments the spiders in my brain
God, get off your knees, I don't wanna be a saint!
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
All you gotta do is nothing at all
And while it gets worse catch me slumping in the pews
Deleting footprints like a cannibal haul
You wanted to feel the same as 2012 in June
But something's in retrograde and possibly eroding away
We're eclipsed, but bleeding light
Let me read your rights while your knuckles turn white
You won't let me get a word in I swear
I made my bed like a navy seal tucked it in tight
It's cool 'cause now you know I don't have to care
I wanted to feel like I did when I left you in the park
But if I'm gonna skip therapy
My shitty brain chemistry is gonna get a good headstart
We're eclipsed, but bleeding light
Prop me up against the backdrop
I'm sick of talking bullshit non-stop
Kind of looks a little like I've been a bad friend to you
And I need a role model to rescue
Could you teach me how to
Switch off and watch tv
Sleep light and get up early
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
The world was wearing thin
And then you walked right in
If I told you honestly
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie
You would not believe me, Rosie

You would not believe me, Rosie
