lyrics

under a rose sky...

I never went to see a movie in theaters
I was scared of everything
but now my shadow's scarier
than any monster onscreen
though I hate the people on tv
the west virginia house always made me feel safe
and I'm sorry, nana, for the way we'd always misbehave

it was just too fast
and I'm scared to look back
'cause every burst of life left a mark upon my heart
you should leave the marks alone
but I don't
and my heart can only take so much before it falls apart

dandelion clouds all laid on the track
stupid children never thinking they'll be truly sad
I just want my rose sky back
I just want it back, all the glory that I ha
homeschool playdates; intended friends I never made
watching, waiting, for a chance to make my name
it all falls through the cracks
I just want my rose sky back

play pretend, of back then
you can wear the fancy dress
we can fake that our parents are perfect
if we're worth it
remember all the years; I promise that it's worth it

how did I fall so far?
how did I fall so far?

it was just too fast
and I'm scared to look back
'cause every burst of life left a mark upon my heart
you should leave the marks alone
but I don't
and my heart can only take so much before it falls apart

dandelion clouds all laid on the track
stupid children never thinking they'll be truly sad
I just want my rose sky back
I just want it back, all the glory that I had
homeschool playdates; intended friends I never made
watching, waiting, for a chance to make my name
it all falls through the cracks
I just want my rose sky back

three lawns and the wonder bread sign
one missed chance and four new lives
life came at me fast
play it back, please play it back
then it all fell through the cracks
play it back, play it back
play it back, play it back

dandelion clouds all laid on the track
stupid children never thinking they'll be truly sad
I just want my rose sky back
I just want it back, all the glory that I had
homeschool playdates; intended friends I never made
watching, waiting, for a chance to make my name
it all falls through the cracks
I just want my rose sky back

play it back, play it back
you're fading to rose-colored glass
