Basenji feat. Scenic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ROSE PETAL SUNSET
THE ROCKIES IN THE NIGHT
AND THE WAY YOUR HAIR JUST FLOATS THERE
WHEN THE SWEET ALBERTA BREEZE GOES BLOWING BY
SO WON'T YOU TAKE
I AM HERE, I AM YOURS, RIGHT ON TIME
AND IF YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO MY HOMETOWN
I'LL BE LAUGHING RIGHT THERE BESIDE YA
LIKE SUMMER COMING EARLY
A COOL RAIN IN LATE JULY
AND THE WAY THAT YOU LOOK AT ME
WITH THE ROSE PETAL SUNSET IN YOUR EYES
SO WON'T YOU TAKE
WHEREVER YOU WANT TO
I AM HERE, I AM YOURS, RIGHT ON TIME
AND IF YOU'RE GOING
BACK TO MY HOMETOWN
I'LL BE LAUGHING RIGHT THERE BESIDE YA
SO PLEASE JUST TAKE ME
BACK TO THE PRAIRIES
WHERE THE STARS AND THE MOON COLLIDE
AND IF YOU'RE HEADING
BACK TO EDMONTON
WITH THE SUN SETTING BEHIND US
WELL I'LL BE LAUGHING RIGHT THERE BESIDE YA

Everytime I get stronger
While I'm waiting here for you
We're the ones that they talk about
Tell me how you feel
I love it too
I'm the only one who thinks it's real
Why does it feel so, so real?
When did it become so real?
Let the feeling take over
You've got nothing left to lose
We're the ones that they talk about
Tell me how you feel
I love it too
I'm the only one who thinks it's real
Why does it feel so, so real?
When did it become so real?
Every color
Mixed together will make another reality
In my galaxy
I know that every color
Mixed together will make another reality
When you're with me
Everytime I get stronger
While I'm waiting here for you
Let the feeling take over
You've got nothing left to lose
We're the ones that they talk about
We're the ones that they made

The vocals are haunting. There couldn't have been a better vocalist on this song than Scenic. It's glorious, and Basenji is still super underrated.
