Mint & Roses

from Mint & Roses by Zoe Towne

lyrics

I filled my room with mint and roses
so at least these walls look fresh and alive
but the only thing that anyone knows is
even rose petals will wither and die

I bake my bread in the kitchen on Thursday
so I could watch at least one of us rise
I wanna make something worth having on my worst day
to stop my brain from telling these lies

wish I was 17
all skin and bones and idle dreams
and everything I've done still yet to come
wish I was young again
with little thoughts and fewer friends
time's making a fool
outta me

eyes grown tired from looking out the window
I'd rather watch the shadows on the wall
make another cuppa every time I feel low
everything is better when I feel small

wish I was 21
all g&ts and having fun
with all of my regrets still undone
wish I was young again with little thought and fewer friends
I've been making a mess
outta me

always afraid
always in pain
oh what a waste of time
I'm in my way
my mirrors made me blind
and the only fault is mine
