lyrics

[Verse]
She sat down in her purple coat
With her jeans rolled up just to make a point
Of the half-drawn lily tattooed on the side of her ankle

She said "James, I don't drink or date, to be honest
I don't know why you'd stand me at all"
And I laughed, cause she was perfect

[Pre Chorus]
And oh, if she could see me now

[Chorus]
Cause now I'm drinking Rosé
She's on the back of my mind
And there is no way
I'm feeling better tonight
I'm drinking Rosé
I'll try not to cry

[Verse]
We sang river too many times
I'd add harmonies from the second line
Then she'd add a third and I'd laugh
And we'd have to stop singing
She said “James, do you ever feel sure of yourself?
Do you, ever feel more right in your head”
And I lied
“I’m never anxious”

[Pre Chorus]
And oh, if she could see me now

[Chorus]
Cause now I'm drinking Rosé
She's on the back of my mind
And there is no way
I'm feeling better tonight
I'm drinking Rosé
I'll try not to cry
Now I’m drinking rose
She’s on the back of my mind
And there is no way
I’m feeling better tonight
I’m drinking Rose
I’ll try not to cry

[Bridge]
When things make sense don't you have to try?
Have I ever been good, is that just a lie?
Am I a broken hot mess with too many feelings?
Did you hurt yourself hurting someone else?
Will you think of me, will I move on well?
Will I ever have it in me to try again?

[Chorus]
Cause now I’m drinking rose
She's on the back of my mind
And there is no way
I’m feeling better tonight
I’m drinking Rose
I'll try not to cry
Now I’m drinking rose
She’s on the back of my mind
And there is no way
I’m feeling better tonight
I’m drinking Rose
I’ll try not to cry
