Avett Brothers, The - Roses And Sacrifice Lyrics






Words only won't suffice
Roses and sacrifice for you
Darling don't get me wrong
I've loved for long enough to tell

You're not slowing down
Waiting for anyone anymore
You know just what you want

Spent too much time apart
God bless, we got to start again
Your heart's been suffering
I try to hold it every now and then

You're not slowing down
Waiting for anyone anymore
You know just what you need

Our life together
Couldn't start too soon
And so we gladly settle for
A short honeymoon

Move heaven and earth for you
Prove we can make it through the pain
Can't always disagree
We'll find somewhere to meet, I know

Between our wildest dreams
And where reality seems to fall

(I'm not slowing down)
I'm not slowing down
(Waiting for)
I'm not waiting for anyone anymore
I know just what I want
And I know just what I need
I know just what I want

    Beautiful song, and I can’t wait to see y’all again in Pittsburgh! Just tell the promoter for StageAE to not deliberately oversell the venue again like they did last summer (seriously, I had been to MULTIPLE soldout shows at that venue, both the indoor and outdoor stages, and have NEVER felt as uncomfortably crowded as at y’all‘s show from last summer).
