roses (with Clara Benin)

Dust yourself off from the fall

Close your tired eyes and maybe tomorrow

Brings the answers that you seek

If not tomorrow then, maybe in a couple weeks

But today, I'll stop to smell the roses

And hold on 'til the day they melt away

'Cause maybeif I can't live for tomorrow

I might as well keep living for today

And now that summer's finally over

I think I've healed enough

I'm starting to feel better

Another door shut with no closure

Another silly reason for me to linger longer

But today, I'll stop to smell the roses

And hold on 'til the day they melt away

'Cause maybe if I can't live for tomorrow

I might as well keep living for today

When I look upon the burdens that I've shouldered

I guess that I wouldn't change a thing

'Cause if living for today might finally get me for tomorrow

Then I know I'll find my way someday

But today, I'll stop to smell the roses

And hold on 'til the day they melt away

'Cause maybe if I can't live for tomorrow

I might as well keep living for today
