Wild roses, wild roses, where I'm from
Five roses, five roses, flashing up above
I was eating like a kid
Back when Mac moved into our building in Outremont
Used to treat a rack like it was a lick
Used to make a band, thought I made it big
Used to fill the float up with Lauriers
Back when I was living on Laurier
Going in and out, catching interference
We should hit the show, we should make appearance
Wading through the snow, hope they go and clear it
Hope that anybody shows, hope they wanna hear it
See the pink sky like Sean said
We'd think about life getting better
Used to hang around by the train tracks
Wish that we could do this forever
Five roses
Five roses
Paradise lost, looking at the cross
Been there so long, think that we forgot
Even though they kept the skyscrapers low
We was playing "How high can you go?"
Can you take the heat? Can you brave the cold?
Going in and out, broken phone
Don't know what to say to the folks at home
Feels like I'm fading out, feel like no one knows
Blind to the fact that it isn't what it's seeming
They're putting on a show, did it for the wrong reason
Shallow thoughts, they got some people going off the deep end
At a great cost, no, it isn't just the weekend
This was a place that I dreamed of
Even bought myself a blue raincoat
Oratory bells could redeem us
Probably won't ever be the same though
Five roses
How I miss you
Five roses
Cut a path to the clearing
In a Laval forest
I had holes in my ceiling
But it didn't seem that important
The days were revealing
The times that we shared
The years are retreating
Going back there
Five roses
How I miss you
Five roses
