lyrics

Left you by the side of the road
Too distant to be cold
Nail polish chipped
The red on your lips smeared in
And you waved like you could save me
You waved like there’s no such thing as goodbye

I glanced back and imagined your deep set eyes
You glanced down at your watch
Like you couldn’t see time
And I knew that I broke
Something you’ve never known

Oh Rosalee I knew you well
You didn’t think that I could tell
Oh Rosalee I never meant to leave
Oh Rosalee I thought I’d stay
Take a pistol to your pain
Oh can’t you see how simple we could be?
My Rosalee

It’s better to guess than it is to regret
That’s what you always said
Now I finally know what you meant
So I guess that you’re doing fine
And I don’t regret the time passing us by

I’ll keep writing those letters I never send
And Imagine running into you again
With your eyelids painted blue like the sky
A smile that never seemed to die

Oh Rosalee I knew you well
You didn’t think that I could tell
Oh Rosalee I never meant to leave
Oh Rosalee I thought I’d stay
Take a pistol to your pain
Oh can’t you see how simple we could be?
My Rosalee

Sometimes I believe that we’re all one and the same
That we make each other up
And we make each other sane
Oh Rosalee I think I’m finally free
My Rosalee

It’s a modern take on retro stylings with heartfelt vocals, three-part harmonies, and gritty reverb-laden guitars. ... more
