[Verse 1]
I woke up to an urban dawn
Wrapped up in my lover's arms
I feel it in my weary bones
I'm home
But nothing's ever what it seems
There's darkness in the best of dreams
Scratch the surface and you'll find the scars
Like tiny stars

[Chorus]
Do you wonder, do you wonder like me?
How the perfect love could come to spite me?
Love, the rose and thorn in my side
Bright beauty and the scent of glory
To feel the touch cuts a different story
Love, the rose and thorn in my sidе

[Verse 2]
These warm lost summer days
And nights undеr the milky way
But in the heat the flowers fade
And the petals fly away
Cause nothing's ever what it seems
The tiniest of cuts still bleeds
And it tastes so bittersweet, so bittersweet
[Chorus]
Do you wonder, do you wonder like me?
How the perfect love could come to spite me?
Love, the rose and thorn in my side
Bright beauty and the scent of glory
To feel the touch cuts a different story
Love, the rose and thorn in my side

[Outro]
Love, the rose and thorn in my side
Love, the rose and thorn in my side
Love, the rose and thorn in my side
