lyrics

someone's gonna come along with a great big loaded conversation
they'll delay our exchange
it's not ordinary but I called to say I'm sorry
about the way things used to be when we were stuck in willow trees sleeping and weeping

you wanted to know
the colors that show

I was in the middle of saying something
and i got a feeling it was better than the words I was using
in the middle of the kitchen where everybody was stewing and grooving

I wanted to know the colors that showed within our drunkeness
my chin was like a handkerchief you used for your red lipstick
in that moment where i finally realized you would always stare toward the line of my hair when you lie
