[Intro]
Oh, start saving green and before breathing
I have your voice on tape in a southern accent screaming at me
I was only one and we weren't prepared for one before dreaming
I have your voice on tape in a southern accent screaming at me

[Chorus]
Now things look lovely to you
(Holding back, now and forever)
Sweetheart, things look lovely
(Longing for midnight and I deny)
You were walking so peculiar like
(Still so deadly)
You had something to hide
You were walking so peculiar like
(Still so deadly)
You had something to hide

[Interlude]
Sweet penance for a sound
It might explode in our hands

[Verse]
I'm bordered in a brown pigmentation of
Where the only bonds cut short, turned in, then stopped
I've been watching Rose give in and
I missed out on savoring it so
I've been watching Rose give in to it
Severing the ties between mother and son
I've been watching Rose give in to it
Severing the ties between mother and son
[Chorus]
Now things look lovely to you
(Holding back, now and forever)
Sweetheart, things look lovely
(Longing for midnight and I deny)
You were walking so peculiar like
(Still so deadly)
You had something to hide, love
You were walking so peculiar like
(Still so deadly)
You had something to hide

[Interlude]
Sweet penance for a sound
It might explode in our hands
It might explode
Sweet penance for a sound
It might explode in our hands
It might explode

[Outro]
Oh, why would so many place the oath
I promised the world and a dozen roses
Oh, why would so many place the oath
I promised the world and a dozen roses
