lyrics

Staying up late
‘Cause the night needs my company
And in the days
My body moves with muscle memory
What a waste
And in the hearts of all the champions
I face

Throwing horseshoes throwing shade
Losing focus shifting through
The hours of the day
Running up hill from the
Permanent escape
Holding on tightly to this plastic bouquet
Of roses

What’s it for
My beating heart that’s pounding
On the door
To the locked up china cabinet
I need more
Than four walls around this fragile
Sorrow

Throwing horseshoes throwing shade
Losing focus shifting through
The hours of the day
Running up hill from the
Permanent escape
Holding on tightly to this
Plastic bouquet
Of roses, of roses

If time stood still
Just for a moment so I
Could feel a thrill
And remove this heavy blanket
In dreams
I see your face and I tremble

I don’t wanna leave

Throwing horseshoes throwing shade
Losing focus shifting through the
Hours of the day
Running up hill from the
Permanent escape
Holding on tightly to this
Plastic bouquet
Of roses, of roses, of roses, of roses
