Roses and a Romeo Mask Lyrics by Holden Laurence

Rewire

2019

[Verse 1]
The wind exhaled and blew back her hair
A vision frozen in time
Denim and suede, a Ray-Ban charade
Playing movies in the back of her mind
A second-hand Shakespeare, I stood in the dark
Throwing roses and choking on rhymes
She laughed through her teeth and grinned in defeat
As her shadow touched shadows with mine
[Chorus]
If I could change her mind, you know I would
If I could change her mind, you know I would
[Verse 2]
Black lace and silver with flashes of gold
She stared out the window in pain
Lost in my dreams, too stubborn to see
The stress in her delicate frame
[Chorus]
If I could change her mind, you know I would
If I could change her mind, you know I would
[Bridge]
But I still hear her Gypsy song
All the reckless and empty promises
But I know that the moment's gone
Oh, I know that the moment's gone
[Verse 3]
She drifted away as quick as she came
Now in fevers I sweat out the past
I'm drinking too much and I'm thinking too much
Of roses and a Romeo mask
Of roses and a Romeo mask
[Chorus]
If I could change her mind, you know I would
If I could change her mind, you know I would
