wild roses

Singer: of monsters and men

wild roses on a bed of leaves

in the month of may

i think i wrote my own pain

oh don't you

down by the creek i couldn't sleep

so i followed a feeling

sounds like the vines they are breathing

and i've seen the way the seasons change

when i just give it time

but i feel out of my mind

all the time

in the night i am wild-eyed

and you got me now

oh roses they don't mean a thing

you don't understand

but why don't we full on pretend

oh won't you

before i closed my eyes i saw a moth in the sky

and i wish i could fly that high

oh don't you

a serpent on a bed of leaves

in the month of may

what do you want me to say

that you keep me still

when all i feel is an aimless direction

when i think i'm losing connection

i see you

in the night i am wild-eyed

and you got me now

dim the lights

we are wild-eyed

and you got me now

oh roses they don't mean a thing

you don't understand

but why don't we full on pretend

oh won't you

before i closed my eyes i saw a moth in the sky

and i wish i could fly that high

oh don't you

oh don't you

oh don't you

in the night we are wild-eyed

and you got me now

dim the lights

we are wild-eyed

and you got me now

in the night i am wild-eyed

and you got me now
