[Verse 1]
Sunrise got us up early
So we put on our shade
Somehow the bed sheets are dirty
Like sticky sweet lemonade


[Pre-Chorus]
Never wanna leave this room
Daydream, déjà vu
If I had control over you

[Chorus]
We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland
With our head above the clouds, falling stupid like we're kids
Wearing rose-colored lenses, let's just play pretend
Wearing rose-colored lenses, pretend we'll never end


[Verse 2]
Naked in conversation
Drown me in your delight
Endless summer vacation
Make it last 'til we die

[Pre-Chorus]
My baby got looks that kill (Kill)
Make a mess of a nice hotel ('Tel)
If I had control over you
[Chorus]
We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland
With our head above the clouds, falling stupid like we're kids
Wearing rose-colored lenses, let's just play pretend
Wearing rose-colored lenses, pretend we'll never end


[Post-Chorus]
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever

[Chorus]
We could stay like this forever, lost in wonderland
With our head above the clouds, falling stupid like we're kids
Wearing rose-colored lenses, let's just play pretend
Wearing rose-colored lenses, pretend we'll never end


[Post-Chorus]
Let's stay like this forever (Let's just keep pretendin')
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever (Let's just keep pretendin')
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever, uh-uh
Let's stay like this forever
[Outro]
Let's stay like this forever
Let's stay like this forever

Genius Annotation

An infectious beat, and serotonin feeling, “Rose Colored Lenses” is a dreamy love song about wanting to stay the same forever, and being optimistic. The track has a slow, but up-beat instrumental with an ongoing outro, feeling like it is going on forever. The track has a light coloured sound to it, which is expected due to the title. Wearing rose colored lenses means being optimistic, and seeing the good in the bad. A line of lyrics from the song were featured in the first Love From LA postcard Cyrus sent to her fans.
