The Next Step
Rome
[Verse 1]
Memories
All the times
That came and went (Came and went)
Put me in a place
Of innocence (Of innocence)
Now I'm looking back
With no regrets (No regrets)
Oh-oh-oh-oh

Guilty-ish pleasures
On the speakers in my room
Coming through the speakers
You were there
To keep my secrets too (Keep my secrets too)

Just like
I was your confession booth
How young confessions
Make life-still impressions

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that
I never paid attention
To most of the many subtleties
I know that
I never failed to mention
That the chemistry
Wasn’t hard to see
And now when
I look in your direction
Something new washes over me
I hate that I'm in it for collection

Tick, tick, tick, tick
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I feel like
I woke up in Rome
But my surroundings are the same
It's the perspective
And my mind that’s different

I feel like
I woke up in Rome
The world around me is the same
But the feelings
In my heart are changing

[Verse 2]
Now it's easier
To read between the lines
And find the signs
Sometimes I dig so deep
I hit the walls
In the back of my mind
And now I see so obviously
Like a bright flash
On a big-screen T.V
Some thing's
Aren't so quick to build
Do I dive in or is it too soon?

[Pre-Chorus]
I know that
I never paid attention
To most of the many subtleties
I know that
I never failed to mention

That the chemistry
Wasn't hard to see
And now when
I look in your direction
Something new washes over me
I hate that I'm in it for collection

Tick, tick, tick, tick
Oh-oh-oh

[Chorus]
I feel like
I woke up in Rome
But my surroundings are the same
It's the perspective
And my mind that's different
I feel like
I woke up in Rome
The world around me is the same
But the feelings
In my heart are changing

[Bridge]
I feel like
I woke up in Rome
(Feel like I woke up in Rome)
(Feel like I woke up in Rome)

I feel like
I woke up in Rome
(Feel like I woke up in Rome)
(Feel like I woke up in Rome)

[Chorus]
I feel like
I woke up in Rome (Woke up in Rome)
But my surroundings are the same
It’s the perspective
And my mind that’s different
(Perspective and my mind)

I feel like
I woke up in Rome (I woke up in Rome)
The world around me is the same
But the feelings
In my heart are changing
(Feelings in my heart)

[Outro]
But the feelings
In my heart are changing

But the feelings
In my heart are changing
