lyrics

Roads where do we go, where do we go?
Away from the places we know to somewhere we don’t
And if we make a wrong turn,
If we take the long way, I swear it’s ok,
I swear it’s ok

Streets they follow desire, by our design
To roads from the places we know, to somewhere we don’t
And if we make a wrong turn, lines astray on concrete
I swear it’s ok, do you swear it’s ok?

It’s the hardest map to make
It’s the longest path to take
All the fragile hearts will break

Miles and miles down the road, we’re stuck in the dirt
Left behind the lives that we know, for ones that we don’t
Well I guess we made a wrong turn, losing our direction
Swear it’s ok, do you swear it’s ok?

It’s the hardest map to make
It’s the longest path to take
All the fragile hearts will break

It’s the hardest map to make
It’s the longest path to take
All the fragile hearts will break

It’s in this image that Gina Barrington found solace and inspiration for her band.

Rose Of The West is dream pop with a dark side. ... more
