Iron & Wine - Roses Lyrics

Iron & Wine Lyrics

"Roses"

Run into the one you love forever
Laugh into each other's empty mouth
We all fall through the window
Babies having babies
Everything crying out loud

Beauty lasts about as long as lightning
Honesty's an eight ball in the dark
We all fall in the river
Kissing our own body
Hope knows where to hammer on a heart
Hope knows where to hammer on a heart

I can't make
This easier
On you

When you've fallen face down in the garden
Roses say whatever comes to mind
Some are staying naked
Unafraid of flame

Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
(Some only as happy as their life)
Some only as happy as their life
(Some only as happy as their life)
Some only as happy as their life
(As their life, as their life)
Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
(As happy as their life)
Some only as happy as their life
(Happy, some only as happy as their life)
Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
(Happy, some)
Some only as happy as their life
Some only as happy as their life
(Happy, some)
(Happy)
(Some, happy)
(Some)
