[Female – soft modern pop] She walked through the door with the evening light Arms full of red like she’d stolen the night Plastic wrap still clinging to the stems Water dripping slow across the floorboards and the hem She set them down on the kitchen table Smiling like she’d brought me something stable I watched her fingers work the green Pulling leaves and cutting clean [Male – rising rock] I didn’t ask where they came from Didn’t need the name of the shop Just watched the way she held them Like she already knew they’d never stop [Both – building] She brought them home She brought them home Laid them open in the middle of our room She brought them home She brought them home And the air changed color when the petals bloomed [Female] I filled the tallest vase we owned Watched her step back and claim the throne Of this little house of ordinary days Now suddenly painted in a different shade She said they needed water every morning Said they needed light and careful warning I nodded like I understood While something in my chest shifted for good [Male – full rock force] I felt it then the first quiet cut Not sharp enough to notice yet Just a pressure under the skin Telling me the game had already begun [Both – soaring] She brought them home She brought them home Laid them open in the middle of our room She brought them home She brought them home And the air changed color when the petals bloomed [Female – intimate] Later when the house went still I stood there counting every hill Of red against the white ceramic glaze Wondering how long beauty stays [Male] I already knew the answer deep Beauty always finds a way to bleed But that night I just stood beside her Letting the scent of them decide her [Both – final powerful chorus with layered vocals] She brought them home She brought them home Laid them open in the middle of our room She brought them home She brought them home And the air changed color when the petals bloomed She brought them home And nothing ever looked the same She brought them home And we both started learning the real name [Outro – female fading into male] She brought them home… (She brought them home) She brought them home…
