Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Wild roses on a bed of leaves
In the month of the May
I think I wrote my own pain
Oh, don't you
[Verse 2]
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
[Verse 3]
In the night I am wild eyed
And you got me now
[Verse 4]
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?
[Verse 5]
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
[Verse 6]
In the night, I am wild eyed
And you got me now
Dim the lights we are wild eyed
And you got me now
[Verse 7]
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?
[Verse 8]
Oh, don't you?
Oh, don't you?
[Verse 9]
In the night, we are wild eyed
And you got me now
Dim the lights, we are wild eyed
And you got me now
[Verse 10]
In the night, I am wild eyed
And you got me now
