Let me lay my head on your heart, let me lay my head on your heart
And you can give this rose some water, you can give this rose some water now
Nothing ever is what it seems, nothing ever seems what it is
And though I may be sliding by ya, I'm a rose that needs some water now

I've been spinning 'round my glass ring, grim personality
Slowly bending towards the shadows of those waiting to swallow me
So if thorns are made when wretched, I'm cutting through the chatter
I'm a rose that needs some water now

All the world I'm happy to see, and all the world it's going to be
To maybe find and borrow a place to put tomorrow's pain
Ocean crossings, mountains to climb, and history a waste of time
Well she may just set to plunder this rose that needs some water now

I'll come near you, eyes beneath your eyes, where I hope to be
All the blue knots, blue, blue, blue knots
Imagine, I'll untangle and fashion where you can look at me

So if thorns are made when wretched, I'm cutting through the chatter
I'm a rose that needs some water, water, water
Now, now, now, now, now
