Maroon

[quads id=11]

When the morning came we
Were cleaning incense off your vinyl shelf
‘Cause we lost track of time again
Laughing with my feet in your lap
Like you were my closest friend
How’d we end up on the floor anyway?
You say, “Your roommate’s cheap-ass screw top Rosé”, that’s how
I see you every day now

And I chose you
The one I was dancin’ with in New York
No shoes, looked up
At the sky and it was

[quads id=15]

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed the wine onto me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was
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

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
Ain’t that the way shit always ends?
You were standing hollow-eyed in the hallway
Carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us
I feel you no matter what, the rubies that I gave up

When I lost you
The one I was dancin’ with in New York
No shoes, looked up
At the sky and it was maroon

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed the wine onto me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was
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

Awake with your memory over me
That’s a real fucking legacy that you see (It was maroon)
Awake with your memory over me
That’s a real fucking legacy to leave

The burgundy on my t-shirt when you splashed the wine onto 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
