[Verse]
Taking it slow, but it's not typical
He already knows that my love is fire
His heart was a stone, but then his hands roam
I turned him to gold and it took him higher
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I'll be your daydream, I'll wear your favorite things
We could be beautiful
Get drunk on the good life, I'll take you to paradise
Say you'll never let me go
[Chorus]
Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time when only we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room
Hideaway
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
[Chorus]
Deep in my bones, I can feel you
Take me back to a time when only we knew
Hideaway
We could waste the night with an old film
Smoke a little weed on the couch in the back room
Hideaway
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
[Post-Chorus]
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Ahh, ahh, ahh
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go
Say you'll never let me go

“Roses,” featuring vocals by ROZES, is the third original song released in 2015 by The Chainsmokers, following “Let You Go” and “Good Intentions.” In an interview with BreatheHeavy, Alex and Drew of The Chainsmokers said the lighter production was a natural move:
This song represents an inherent change in the right direction not the beginning, but the end of that transition — almost like we have finally come full circle to a place musically we are finally completely happy with a song … That is not just a reflection us personally but also a reflection of us currently. That isn’t to say we won’t continue to evolve and take chances and the music will all sound the same, but this to us felt as natural as drinking the bottle of Patron every show. Roses is us, through and through.
