Red (nc-17 Version) Lyrics
Saw you looking for a light
face painted cigarette white
you asked the cleanest boy you found
you couldnt see me turned around
his fingers stretched across your empty gaze
but I just cant escape
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
picture all the people youve impressed
hangs on a wall around here
vision starts to crawl when im near
and the evening waits
while you get caught up to your own mistakes
made up of different lines
I wouldnt wanna keep in my mind
I wondered why youd come around
remembering your little girl frown
your answers kept the crowd at bay
with compliments unwilling to pay
I had some things id like to say to you
but they just cant be true
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
a picture of the people yove impressed
hangs on a wall around here
vision starts to crawl when im near
and the evening waits
while you get caught up to your own mistakes
made up of different lines i wouldnt wanna keep in my mind
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
a picture of the people youve impressed
hangs on a wall around here
vision starts to crawl when im near
and the evening waits
while you get caught up to your own mistakes
made up of different lines
i wouldnt wanna keep in my mind
face painted cigarette white
you asked the cleanest boy you found
you couldnt see me turned around
his fingers stretched across your empty gaze
but I just cant escape
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
picture all the people youve impressed
hangs on a wall around here
vision starts to crawl when im near
and the evening waits
while you get caught up to your own mistakes
made up of different lines
I wouldnt wanna keep in my mind
I wondered why youd come around
remembering your little girl frown
your answers kept the crowd at bay
with compliments unwilling to pay
I had some things id like to say to you
but they just cant be true
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
a picture of the people yove impressed
hangs on a wall around here
vision starts to crawl when im near
and the evening waits
while you get caught up to your own mistakes
made up of different lines i wouldnt wanna keep in my mind
As the red fades from your wrinkled dress
a picture of the people youve impressed
hangs on a wall around here
vision starts to crawl when im near
and the evening waits
while you get caught up to your own mistakes
made up of different lines
i wouldnt wanna keep in my mind
Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
while you get caught up to your own mistakes absolutely brilliant. their lyrics are awesome.
This is such a beautiful song. I love the way he writes about how although she's beautiful, she's losing all that and she'll have to catch up with all the wrong things she has done in her life.
