[Verse 1]
Knock on the door
Leaving it open
It wasn't you
Why was I hoping?
Said it before, and I'll say it again
That I'll always be here when you need a friend

[Pre-Chorus]
I sat with you on my bedroom floor
And I couldn't move
All that we were losing
I saw you like I never did before
I never did before

[Chorus]
And I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of seasons, and you're back
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
Yeah, I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
I won't take you back

[Verse 2]
Cat got your tongue
It's been forever
Have you been good?
Have you been better?
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
That I'll always be here if you need a friend

[Pre-Chorus]
I sat with you on my bedroom floor
And I couldn't move
All that we were losing
I saw you like I never did before
I never did before

[Chorus]
And I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of seasons and you're back
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
Yeah, I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
I won't take it back

[Bridge]
Burnt out cigarettes
Last year's silhouettes
Dancing in the dark
Love made in the park
Big black blossom tree
Baby, cover me
Hold the afterglow
Please don't let me go
Please don't let me go

[Chorus]
And I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of seasons and you're back
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
Yeah, I can feel you reaching through the cracks
A simple change of heart and you attack
All the roses in the garden fade to black, ooh-ooh
I won't take it back

[Outro]
Burnt out cigarettes
Last year's silhouettes
I won't take it back
Dancing in the dark
I won't take it back
Love made in the park
Big black blossom tree
I won't take it back
Baby, cover me
Hold the afterglow
Please don't let me go

Carly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen is a Canadian singer and songwriter. Born in 1985, she first came to fame by finishing in third place on the TV show Canadian Idol. Shortly afterwards, she released her debut album, Tug Of War, including the Canadian top 40 singles “Tug Of War” and “Bucket.”

Three years later, she released the single “Call Me Maybe” and planned to follow it with what would have been her second album, Curiosity. However, after the song caught the ear of fellow Canadian, Justin Bieber, he referred her to his manager, Scooter Braun, which led to her signing an international deal with Interscope Records. Before long, it became one of 2012’s most enduring hits, racking up over a billion YouTube views and topping the charts in 21 countries, including the US and Canada. The aforementioned Curiosity album was cut down to EP length, and work continued on her eventual sophomore LP, Kiss. Released in September 2012, it also featured the Owl City collaboration “Good Time”, which reached #8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Jepsen returned in March 2015 with “I Really Like You,” the lead single from her third studio album. The song received a more muted reception than her breakout hit–although it did reach #2 in the United Kingdom–and consequently, the album, E•MO•TION, failed to make a substantial impact chartwise. Despite this, the album drew in a new wave of fans with its more experimental and mature sound; such was the amount of praise among both the public and critics that a follow-up EP of album outtakes–E•MO• Side B–was released on the album’s first anniversary.
