| Ray LaMontagne – Roses and Cigarettes Lyrics

I love this song. I think it's about a girl having an affair with the singer. She's unhappy about her relationship, her husband/boyfriend- "He tells you that he needs you, he's a liar"-"Seen how you look at the stranger/I see how you wait when he's gone" and she's tired of her domestic life. The singer wants to be with her but- "your love ain't the kind you can keep". He wonders when they will get another opportunity to be together again, and he feels like is going to go insane waiting. "Roses" refer to how affairs can be somewhat extravagant- you do things you normally wouldn't do in a /relationship/. It's like the wooing period. "Cigarettes" refer to smoking after sex? Which again signify that it's an affair- sex. But the singer wants more than that, he wants her to leave her significant other. Classic affair story.
Idk.. just what I thought. |
