"Rosie" (Taylor Rhodes, Wolf)

They say you can see the future
Right in the palm of your hand
But I don't need a fortune teller
To tell me where I stand
Never thought I'd be so lonely
Never thought I'd come crashing down
Here I am with one chance only
One chance to turn it all around
I won't let you down

Here and now I need you, Rosie
I need something to live and die for
Here and now I need you, Rosie
Don't say goodbye
Oh, Rosie

Used to tell a different story
Of endless golden days
If there ever was a worry
We'd chase 'em all away
But now everything I fought for
Just dissolves underneath my feet
Where once I could walk on water
Now, baby, they got me beat
I won't let you down

Here and now I need you, Rosie
I need something to live and die for
Here and now I need you, Rosie
Don't say goodbye
Oh, Rosie

Some people they could run forever
In their worn-out shoes
But for me it's now or never
Oh, Rosie, I just can't lose

Here and now I need you, Rosie
I need something to live and die for
Here and now I need you, Rosie
Don't say goodbye
Oh, Rosie

Time won't let me be
Time won't satisfy me
