One look, dark room meant just for you
Time moved too fast you play it back buttons on a coat light-hearted joke no proof, not much but you saw enough small talk, he drives coffee at midnight the light reflects the chain on your neck he says, "Look up" and your shoulders brush no proof, one touch but you felt enough you can feel it in the silence, silence, you can hear it on the way home, way home, you can see it with the lights out, lights out, you are in love, true love you are in love morning, his place burnt toast, Sunday you keep his shirt he keeps his word and for once, you let go of your fears and your ghosts one step, not much but it said enough you kiss on sidewalks you fight and you talk one night he wakes strange look on his face pauses, then says "You're my best friend" and you knew what it was he is in love you can hear it in the silence, silence, you can hear it on the way home, way home, you can see it with the lights out, lights out, you are in love, true love and so it goes you two are dancing in a snow globe, 'round and 'round and he keeps the of you in his office downtown and you understand why they lost their minds and fought the wars and why I've spent my whole life tryin' to put it into words 'Cause you can hear it in the silence, you can feel it on the way home, you can see it with the lights out, you are in love, true love you are in love you can hear it in the silence, silence, you can feel it on the way home, way home, you can see it with the lights out, lights out, you are in love, true love, you are in love you can hear it in the silence, silence, you can hear it on the way home, way home, you can see it with the lights out, lights out, you are in love, true love! When the morning came we were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf 'cause we lost track of time again laughing with your feet on my lap like you were my closest friend "How'd we end up on the floor anyway?" You say "Your roommates cheap-ass screw-top rosè, that's how" I see you everyday now and I chose you the one I was dancing with in New York, no shoes look up at the sky and it was the burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was the mark you saw on my collarbone, that rust grew between telephones the lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon when the silence came, we were shaking blind and hazy how the hell did we lose sight of us again? Sobbin' with your head in your hands isn't that the way shit always ends? You were standin' hollow-eyed in the hallway carnations you had thought was roses, that's us I feel you no matter what the rubies I gave up and I lost you the one I was dancing with in New York, no shoes looked up at the sky and it was maroon the burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was (maroon) the mark you saw on my collarbone, that rust that grew between telephones, the lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was (maroon) and I wake with your memory over me that's a real fucking legacy, legacy, (it was maroon) and I wake with your memory over me that's a real fucking legacy to leave the burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet (it was maroon) the mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones the lips I used to call home, so scarlet (it was maroon) it was maroon it was maroon
