lyrics

You can take your time
I don't mind
I'll just be spending every night out pacing on the yellow asphalt lines
but I'll be fine
'cause I learned once you get your head straight there is something you will find
there is this rose
and it don't wilt
it isn't picked apart by all this heavy guilt
no not this rose
it don't dry out
it isn't withered by this heavy heavy doubt
it only grows

So you can take your time
While I evolve
my mistakes are great but so is my resolve
you can take your time
I know you'll see
that nothing you could ever do would ever prove to me
there ain't this rose...

So you can take your time
I'll muscle through
I can tell that in between the sting my smile reaches you
you see my eyes?
They're free of clouds
and now I'm telling you you'll never be without

Not without this rose
it never dies
it's color can't be drained by petty petty lies
no not this rose
it still stands tall
it isn't weakened by the pressure of it all
it only grows
