RED

(album: Exit Signs - 2020)

I got a life online I can't escape
It's like a python wrapped around my brain
I thought I meant it when I wore a cape
But what's a hero who can't save the day?

I have to go
'Cause my heart is singing classical
Everything we touched is magical
But behind the scenes we've found the magic show

I don't wanna think about
Waterfalls crashing on my head
Don't wanna think about
Flower fields and roses in the bed
Don't wanna think about
Battlescars, prison guards
And living with the dead
I think we blew it
So I've been thinking 'bout red

I took a trip down south to get away
I dropped my anchor is a hurricane
I left the lighthouse on to navigate
'Cause what's a captain as a castaway?

I had to go
We were lost in the collateral
We tried to keep the dress code casual
But between the seams we found a fashion show

I don't wanna think about
Waterfalls crashing on my head
Don't wanna think about
Flower fields and roses in the bed
Don't wanna think about
Battlescars, prison guards
And living with the dead
I think we blew it
So I've been thinking 'bout red

Lately, we've been riding two different roller coasters
But some amusement parks will leave some people in comas
I need a soup or a salad, 'cause I feel like a supernova
Keep your rule book 'cause I'm writing my own
We'll turn a nothing to something, so watcha think about that?
Hopscotching and running and baby make it real fast
Don't you look back
Just let your heart attack (oh, snap)
'Cause I've been walking a step ahead all alone

And I've been thinking 'bout
Waterfalls crashing on my head
I've been thinking 'bout
Flower fields and roses in the bed
I've been thinking 'bout
Covers, and fathers
And sisters, and mothers
I've been thinking 'bout red
Love-one-anothers
And under the covers
I've been thinking 'bout
Singing for suppers
Maybe we're better off instead
But if we blew it
Then let's undo it
'Cause I've been thinking 'bout red

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
