Roses
Pries Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taking it slow, but it's not typical
He already knows that my love is fire
His heart was a stone, but then his hands roamed
I turned him to gold and it took him higher

Well, I'll be your daydream, I'll be your favorite things
We could be beautiful
Get drunk on the good life, I'll take you to paradise

Say you'll never let me go

Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time only we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room
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
Say you'll never let me go

Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time only we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room
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

The opening lines describe how the couple is not rushing their relationship, as it is not typical, and how the singer's love is like fire, intense and passionate. The third line suggests that the singer's love interest may have been emotionally distant at first, but with time, their love has transformed him into a better version of himself. The use of the phrase "I turned him to gold" serves as a metaphor for how the singer has brought warmth and richness to their partner's life.

They express their desire to live a beautiful life with their partner, and the line "drunk on the good life" emphasizes their eagerness for a joyous future together. The second half of the verse continues with the theme of nostalgia, with the singer longing to go back to a time that only they knew, perhaps referencing cherished moments from their past. The line "hideaway" serves as an invitation to escape from the stresses of the world and spend quality time with each other. The lyrics continue to describe their hypothetical date night, with the mention of an "old film," weed, and a comfortable couch in the back room.
