gretta ray - roses lyrics

[verse 1]
i hit the ground running at a quickened pace
i have treated london as a home base
when the stakes
were higher than i could bear to face them
didn’t see it coming, this formative year
it kept me on my toes ’til it planted me here
making it clear
that i’ve got a ship i need to steer

[pre+chorus]
so i’m starting anew, hung the lights up in my room
and took in the view, one i could get used to
foot in the door, fully out of my sh+ll
i’m bold to the bone now, and i know it too well

[chorus]
i will be making headway in good time
coming to love to board the northern line
taking in every moment as mine
taking everything i see as a sign
finally feeling my way through the dark
wandering through a glacial, vacant park
at the centre of my heart is the big smoke
in a world yet to run amok
it feels as though it’s all coming up roses
roses, roses, roses
[verse 2]
plans made for a later date have a hold on me
hence my inattentive state on the 243
i’m coming to see
to idealise is just my way of being
seems i am relearning how to go with the tide
a weekend trip to berlin now will broaden my mind
in freeness i find
parts of me i repressed, hid and left behind

[pre+chorus 2]
cause i’ve started anew, but is it too good to be true?
it’s simply the case of wrong time, perfect place
foot in the door, i can dog+ear this page
i’m bold to the bone, i’ll return to this stage

[chorus]
and keep on making headway in good time
coming to love to board the northern line
taking in every moment as mine
taking everything i see as a sign
finally feeling my way through the dark
wandering through a glacial, vacant park
at the centre of my heart is the big smoke
in a world yet to run amok
back when it was all coming up roses
roses, roses, roses, roses, roses, roses
[outro]
when i started anew, before the plans i had fell through
farewelled the view that i’d gotten used to
i hit the ground running at a quickened pace
when i treated london as a home base
