[Verse]
            
Go - to what goes back
                          
From the wild - Follow it and stay there
                                               
Stuck in your shack - You see pointlessness all right
                             
You can let me lay there - For a while
[Chorus]
                      
Carry on, left like roses
                            
Piece by piece, by the side of the road
                                                        
If you can t collect yourself up from the one that you love
[Interlude]
      
[Verse]
                                    
  I know that Spring is coming - But I don t know what Spring may bring
                                               
I can stick around and let you in on nothing - But out here swimming
                                         
Missing what it was - That bothered us on land
                                                    
That bothered us in the Summertime - The season none of us could stand
[Chorus]
                   
Carry on, rotten roses
                             
Left for no one, by the side of the road
                                                 
If you can t collect yourself up from the one that you love
               
  You know how it goes
