The Holdup
Smell These Roses
[Verse 1]
Started every single sentence with remember when
Never gonna get those frowns
Used to wanna pray that it would never end
But now, I'd rather close my eyes
When my friends let me light one drink, anything
Miss them too, but I'm busy so I say that I'm cool

But I know they won't stop till I say 'yes'
Shit, I don't want to say yes tonight
Tryna' save some bread and move out
Get a new couch and a blender for the kitchen
Looks like I'm going out now
Heading downtown and instead, I'll be wishing

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything could feel this good like
What about one more good night
What about something better, when this sad gets old
So go

[Chorus]
Smell these roses, one more time
We ain't gonna be here for the love
Gotta move on in some point
Even though it's everything I know
Oh, everything I know
Oh
[Verse 2]
Thank you mama
For letting me stay home, for a decade or two
All that good karma
Well, I promise that it's gonna come back to you
And my big head and my big brain neeny
I got a lot of knowledge but my confidence is waning
I guess doing what you want is more like making a decision
Maybe I'm just scared to make it and that's why I'm always tripping

I just wish that we could laugh inside, shit, every night
But we got to go to class and work
Guess that's what's right
So I put my boots on and I slick back my hair
Have some coffee and I'm no longer tripping
I check to ignore that life isn't fair
But, sometimes you still catch me wishing

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything could feel this good like
What about one more good night
What about something better, when this sad gets old
So go

[Chorus]
Smell these roses, one more time
We ain't gonna be here for the love
Gotta move on in some point
Even though it's everything I know
Oh, everything I know
Oh
[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
Everything could feel this good like
What about one more good night
What about something better, when this sad gets old
So go

[Chorus]
Smell these roses, one more time
We ain't gonna be here for the love
Gotta move on in some point
Even though it's everything I know
Oh, everything I know
Oh
