A Dozen Roses Lyrics - Singles - Braid

a dozen roses in the car 

and i don't know where you are 

maybe i don't know what i'm doing 

you're moving like a movie 

you still move me 

among the other ones 

and twos and threes and twenty-threes 

got to keep my conscience clean 

but that hurricane what's-her-name 

mentality was not for me 

and never could be 

cause it surely brings bitter things 

and misery 

and i say 

heaven hits me hard 

in with the new 

heaven hits me hardly 

in with the news 

whatever gets me started 

in with the noose 

have you ever had a heaven here 

and was it clear? 

cause i just wrote a letter 

a confession down the ladder 

that things could be so much better 

and through follow the leader 

i met her and then another end 

and usually a grudge 

but i loved so much 

the way we touched and psuedo-kissed 

oh i already miss you singing like this 

over the phone 

every now and every then i tend to pretend 

i'm not alone 

static made old radio 

now i know 

static made old radio 

heaven hits me hard 

in with the new 

heaven hits me hardly 

in with the news 

whatever gets me started 

in with the noose 

have you ever had a heaven here 

and was it clearly better?
