Roses
Chainsmokers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He already knows that my love is fire
His heart was a stone, but then his hands roam
I turned him to gold and I took him higher
But I'll be your daydream
I'll wear your favorite things
We could be beautiful
Get drunk on the good life
Say you'll never let me go
Deep in my bones I can feel you
Take me back to a time when we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on the couch in the backroom
Hideaway
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Ah
Ah
Say you'll never let me go
Deep in my bones I can feel you
Take me back to a time when we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on the couch in the backroom
Hideaway
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Ah ah ah
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
The song "Roses" by The Chainsmokers follows the tale of a relationship that turns out to be not typical. The singer is aware of the intensity of her love for the other person, which is like fire. The mood of the song changes when she turns the man into something precious and beautiful like gold. She finesses him with her love and takes him to new heights of happiness.
The singer encourages her lover to enjoy life and forget about worries. They could get wasted on the good life and enjoy paradise together. She also promises to be his daydream and wear his favorite things. The line, "I'll take you to paradise," further underscores the theme of the song. The chorus is repeated at the end, with the singer asking her lover to promise never to let her go. However, the tone of the song becomes more emotional and intense; the singer implores her lover not to abandon her and to keep their happiness and emotions alive. She wants them to go back to their old days and hideaway, indulging in movies and weed, so that they could be together in a peaceful manner.
