Thorns lyrics

I get dressed up in my winter clothes

and step outside to look at the roses

but they're all covered in the morning snow.

Just open your heart and the world

will carry you home tonight, it will.

I get dressed up in my summer clothes

and step outside to look at the roses,

but they're all covered in their sharper thorns.

Just open your eyes and the world

will follow you home tonight, it will.

Well, let's put on our raincoats

and drench ourselves in England's weather

just to know we're free.

And we'll bury our heads down

beneath the old oak tree, just you and me.

But please,

oh, don't take this broken heart of mine.

It's the only beat that I have left

that's pulsing through this empty chest

and I don't know where I should begin.

I get dressed up in my autumn clothes

and step outside to pick up the leaves,

and I cannot believe the whole year has gone.

I open my arms to embrace you.

It's time to go right back to the start.

Well, let's put on our raincoats

and drench ourselves in England's weather

just to know we're free.

And we'll bury our heads down

beneath the old oak tree, just you and me.

But please,

oh, don't take this broken heart of mine.

It's the only beat that I have left

that's pulsing through this empty chest

and I don't know where I should begin.
