Five Roses

Wild roses, wild roses, where I'm from Five roses, five roses, flashing up above I was eating like a kid Back when Mac moved into our building in Outremont Used to treat a rack like it was a lick Used to make a band, thought I made it big Used to fill the float up with Lauriers Back when I was living on Laurier Going in and out, catching interference We should hit the show, we should make appearance Wading through the snow, hope they go and clear it Hope that anybody shows, hope they wanna hear it See the pink sky like Sean said We'd think about life getting better Used to hang around by the train tracks Wish that we could do this forever Five roses Five roses Paradise lost, looking at the cross Been there so long, think that we forgot Even though they kept the skyscrapers low We was playing "How high can you go?" Can you take the heat? Can you brave the cold? Going in and out, broken phone Don't know what to say to the folks at home Feels like I'm fading out, feel like no one knows Blind to the fact that it isn't what it's seeming They're putting on a show, did it for the wrong reason Shallow thoughts, they got some people going off the deep end At a great cost, no, it isn't just the weekend This was a place that I dreamed of Even bought myself a blue raincoat Oratory bells could redeem us Probably won't ever be the same though Five roses How I miss you Five roses Cut a path to the clearing In a Laval forest I had holes in my ceiling But it didn't seem that important The days were revealing The times that we shared The years are retreating Going back there Five roses How I miss you Five roses
