New Dress

(专辑： Morning Ramble - 2021)

Our brows will raise when we walk in a room
But see I'm scared and trying not to look at you
And I say castles burn then get rebuilt
We both did our best to deal with guilt
And work with what we have to just make due

Servers won't know if my wine's free tonight
But I bet they'll try and guess your name
They'll wonder how a perfect couple
Went and let a good thing crumble
But they know better than to have my explain

'Cause you're in a new dress and I hate this
All the feelings too contained
Oh, I ain't ready, it gets heavy
But now I'm parking anyway
'Cause when we walk across that floor
I'll leave my heart back at the door
And smell the smoke of an old flame
That still remains

I'll see your face when I get poured a glass
I sit and wonder why good things never last
I'm doing you a disservice
And it's clear you don't deserve this
So I'm a fool to think I could escape my past

'Cause you're in a new dress and I hate this
All the feelings too contained
Oh, I ain't ready, it gets heavy
But now I'm parking anyway
'Cause when we walk across that floor
I'll leave my heart back at the door
And smell the smoke of an old flame
That still remains

'Cause it's too late now
That your heels have touched the ground
And your legs carry your heart across the floor
Now the sky turns black
And my confidence falls flat
'Cause they all know she'd never wear a dress like that

You're in a new dress and I hate this
All the feelings too contained
Oh, I ain't ready, but I'm steady
Moving back to my domain
Oh, I'm a king without a kingdom
Just a ship that's slowly sinking
I smell the smoke of an old flame
That still remains

'Cause you're in a new dress and I hate this
All the feelings too contained
Oh, I ain't ready, but I'm steady
Moving back to my domain
Oh, I'm a king without a kingdom
Just a ship that's slowly sinking
I smell the smoke of an old flame
That still remains

As I smell the smoke of an old flame
That still remains
Oh, I smell the smoke of an old flame
That still remains
