Quotable Lyrics:
Well, you were laid in verse
Living on a promised word
I am the rose you relinquished again
You and I are down headfirst
In another world I heard
But I have a feeling we’re close to the end
So, come on, come on
Out from underneath, who you were
Come on, come out now
You know that it’s time to emerge
