The Roses Lyrics

I could lay right here underneath these sheets
All night while you and my right arm both fall asleep
Staring at the flowers I just bought you
It just hit me, girl, what I was born to do

You be the roses, I'll be the vase
You be the starry night in the spotlight and, girl, I'll be the frame
You be the California cab, I'll be the glass you're poured into
Girl, I'm fine long as I'm holding you

Some men were made to make a name
Wind up in some history book or hall of fame
I used to think maybe that'd be me
But when I found you, I found what I was meant to be

You be the roses, I'll be the vase
You be the starry night in the spotlight and, girl, I'll be the frame
You be the California cab, I'll be the glass you're poured into
Girl, I'm fine long as I'm holding you

Like the sky holds the moon
Like the Bible holds the truth
Yeah, that's a promise you can hold me to

You be the roses, I'll be the vase
You be the starry night in the spotlight and, girl, I'll be the frame
I swear if it's the only thing in life I get to do
I'm just fine long as I'm holding you
I'm just fine long as I'm holding you
