Thorn in My Side

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

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

These warm lost summer days

And nights under 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

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

Love, the rose and thorn in my side

Love, the rose and thorn in my side

Love, the rose and thorn in my side
