Highway Roses - The Shadowboxers

I don’t wanna wait another minute

For the bottom to fall out

I’m tired of the way

I’m taking things for granted with you (Ah, yeah)

Love should feel like sweat in the summer

On a dark grey t-shirt (Yeah)

It’s all about the work

That I have been pretending to do (Ah, yeah)

This could go on and on and on

We both know it’s wrong, it’s wrong

But here I am on Aisle 2

Hoping I can find somebody’s words for you

Baby, this can’t be love

If we’re always giving up

I’m tired of showing up

With highway roses

Baby, this can’t be love

That’s a feeling we’ve been dreaming of

I’m tired of showing up

With highway roses (Highway roses)

I can’t shake the feeling

Like you’ve always just remembered to love me

Like I am just the gum

You’re grabbing in the checkout line (Ah, yeah)

So, I don’t wanna take another minute

For what this won’t be

'Cause if it’s gonna end

We might as well start saying goodbye

(Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye)

Time comes in gets comfortable

Years go by before you know

Quick to say apologies I accept too easily

Call to say you’re running late

Throw some take-out on the plate

I don’t even try to wait for you

Baby, this can’t be love

If we’re always giving up

I’m tired of showing up

With highway roses

Baby, this can’t be love

That’s a feeling we’ve been dreaming of

I’m tired of showing up

With highway roses

Highway roses (Oh, baby)

Highway roses (Oh, baby)

Highway roses

Highway roses (Highway roses)

I wanna know (Highway roses)

If this road we’re on (Highway roses)

Will keep us hanging on (Highway roses)

'Til we break through (Highway roses)

And I wanna know (Highway roses)

If this road we’re on (Highway roses)

Will keep us hanging on (Highway roses)

'Til we break through (Highway roses)

Baby, this can’t be love

If we’re always giving up

I’m tired of showing up

With highway roses
