Coming Up Roses lyrics Harry Styles
Original Lyrics
English
[Verse 1]
Tell me your fears
I've turned back the clocks, it's that time of year
If we stay the course, we could get it right
But I'm not devoid of an appetite
And everything seems to be coming up roses
But I'm scared if we're both right
Does that mean we're not aligned?
[Chorus]
Just for tonight, let's go hangover chasing
And I'll talk your ear off about why it's safe
As I fumble my words and fall flat on my face through the truth
Just say the word and we'll take up the test
Where we flirt with the bad ones and skip all the rest
But we see out the night with your head on my chest, me and you
[Post-Chorus]
There's only me and you
[Verse 2]
Now I see your tears on account of my wants, and now it appears
That I'm feeling guilty and worried, dear
That you think that I might not want you here
Does all of this seem to be bringing us closer
Or am I back-seating your life
Judging while you drive?
[Chorus]
Just for tonight, let's go hangover chasing
And I'll talk your ear off about why it's safe
As I fumble my words and fall flat on my face through the truth
Just say the word and we'll take up the test
Where we flirt with the bad ones and skip all the rest
But we see out the night with your head on my chest, me and you
[Post-Chorus]
There's only me and you
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
It's only me and you
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la, la
Tell me your fears

Normal
[Verso 1]
Dime tus miedos
He retrocedido los relojes, es esa época del año
Si seguimos el curso, podríamos hacerlo bien
Pero no carezco de apetito
Y todo parece estar saliendo rosas
Pero tengo miedo de que si ambos tenemos razón
¿Significa que no estamos alineados?
[Coro]
Solo por esta noche, vamos a perseguir resacas
Y te hablaré hasta por los codos sobre por qué es seguro
Mientras tropiezo con mis palabras y caigo de bruces frente a la verdad
Solo di la palabra y aceptaremos la prueba
Donde coqueteamos con los malos y nos saltamos todo lo demás
Pero pasamos la noche con tu cabeza en mi pecho, tú y yo
[Post-Coro]
Solo estamos tú y yo
[Verso 2]
Ahora veo tus lágrimas debido a mis deseos, y ahora parece
Que me siento culpable y preocupado, querida
De que pienses que quizás no te quiera aquí
¿Todo esto parece acercarnos más?
¿O estoy sentado en el asiento trasero de tu vida
Juzgándote mientras conduces?
[Coro]
Solo por esta noche, vamos a perseguir resacas
Y te hablaré hasta por los codos sobre por qué es seguro
Mientras tropiezo con mis palabras y caigo de bruces frente a la verdad
Solo di la palabra y aceptaremos la prueba
Donde coqueteamos con los malos y nos saltamos todo lo demás
Pero pasamos la noche con tu cabeza en mi pecho, tú y yo
