lyrics

Laying out on a perfect gleam and a cure, long
I'm gone. I'm gone. I'm gone.
By me you sit beside, trying to decide
Oh pick me, don't pick me, oh pick me
Who wants to be your summer rose?
The beautiful one you chose
Who gave you the right to decide I should live inside?

And now, anything could happen
It's always best if it's open ended
Swim out, it's the open ocean
Get settled with the tide that takes you down

My mind in a foggy haze, drinking on your driveway
I know if you'd hold me, I'd hold you back
But who wants to be a summer rose?
The beautiful one you chose
Long days and longer nights
I could never have stayed inside

And now, anything could happen
It's always best if it's open ended
Swim out, it's the open ocean
Get settled with the tide that takes you down
