I woke up to an urban dawn
Wrapped up in my lover's arms
I feel it in my weary bones
I'm home
But nothing's ever what it seems
There's darkness in the best of dreams
Scratch the surface and you'll find the scars, like tiny stars
Do you wonder, do you wonder like me
How the perfect love could come to spite me?
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
Bright beauty and the scent of glory
To feel the touch cuts a different story
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
These warm lost summer days
And nights under the milky way
But in the heat the flowers fade
And the petals fly away
'Cause nothing's ever what it seems
The tiniest of cuts still bleeds
And it tastes so bittersweet
So bittersweet
Do you wonder, do you wonder like me
How the perfect love could come to spite me?
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
Bright beauty and the scent of glory
To feel the touch cuts a different story
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
Ohhhhh
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
Love: The rose and thorn in my side
