ROZES teamed up with Nicky Romero to put out a catchy “Closer”-feel type track, complete with snaps and a minimalistic chord driven melody. It’s a formula that works well and allows ROZES lyrics to shine through, which is clearly the point.
It’s also worth checking out Nicky Romero’s edit of his own collaboration. It’s much more up-tempo and gives the song more depth moving from a beautiful piano line into buzzy chorus synths.
“Where Would We Be” Lyrics:
Been a minute since high school
And I still kinda miss you (ah)
Is it weird that I do, that I do?
Are you still in your basement
Smoking weed with the same friends?
Just living for the weekend
Like we used to
Up all night, mattress on the floor
Wasting time, Nintendo 64
Shouldn’t think about it anymore, anymore
Where would we be
If we were still passed out on your sofa, watchin’ TV?
And it was still my head on your shoulder
Where would we be if in another lifetime
I didn’t move to California for the limelight?
I wouldn’t have to wonder what it would’ve been like
If we’da only fucking got it right the first time
Where would we be?
Where would we be?
And I know I shouldn’t reminisce
I’ve been drinking and I miss my accomplice
I know it’s late
Different time zones, different states
But I bet you’re still
Up all night, mattress on the floor
Wasting time, Nintendo 64
Shouldn’t think about it anymore, anymore
Where would we be
If we were still passed out on your sofa, watchin’ TV?
And it was still my head on your shoulder
Where would we be if in another lifetime
I didn’t move to California for the limelight?
I wouldn’t have to wonder what it would’ve been like
If we’da only fucking got it right the first time
Where would we be?
Where would we be?
If we never went home
Stayed out still stoned
If the sun never rose
We’d still be close
But that’s not how it goes
Same song gets old
When you’re living for, when your living for the weekend (living for the weekend)
Just living for the weekend
Where would we be
If we were still passed out on your sofa, watchin’ TV?
And it was still my head on your shoulder
Where would we be if in another lifetime
I didn’t move to California for the limelight?
I wouldn’t have to wonder what it would’ve been like
If we’da only fucking got it right the first time
Where would we be?
Where would we be?
Where would we be?
