On a night like tonight
You can feel it in the air
Something big is going down,
Somewhere in town,
And they say I need to be there
But I don’t know
It feels a little strange
These days I’m out on my own
Just wanna stay at home,
Say I’m calling it a night,
But I’ll just stare at my phone
All I wanted were wild roses
But I feel like I got lost out in the weeds
Somehow
Now I can dim the lights,
And get right,
There’s no one else around
Caught in between how it used to be
And the way it is now
But it’s easy
Getting distracted
All my wasting time
And overreacting
All I wanted were wild roses
But I feel like I got lost out in the weeds
Bringing home wild roses
Made me feel like I was right where I needed to be
Somehow
Then I realize
Almost overnight
That I’ve got to go my own way
Even if that’s to stay
Home alone
All I wanted were wild roses
But I still feel like I’m lost out in the weeds
