Red

Saw you lookin' for a light

Face painted cigarette white

You asked the cleanest boy you found

You couldn't see me turned around

His fingers stretched across your empty gaze

But I just can't escape

As the red fades from your wrinkled dress

Picture of the people you've impressed

Hangs on a wall around here

Vision starts to crawl when I'm near

And the evening waits

While you get caught up to your own mistakes

Made up of different lines

Wouldn't wanna keep in my mind

I wondered why you'd come around

Remembering your little girl frown

Your answers kept the crowd at bay

With compliments unwilling to pay

I have some things I'd like to say to you

But they just can't be true

As the red fades from your wrinkled dress

Picture of the people you've impressed

Hangs on a wall around here

Vision starts to crawl when I'm near

And the evening waits

While you get caught up to your own mistakes

Made up of different lines

I wouldn't wanna keep in my mind

As the red fades from your wrinkled dress

Picture of the people you've impressed

Hangs on a wall around here

Vision starts to crawl when I'm near

And the evening waits

While you get caught up to your own mistakes

Made up of different lines

I wouldn't wanna keep in my mind
