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 cheapest screw top rose
That’s how”
I see you every day now

And I chose you
The one I was dancing with in New York
No shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was

The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet it was

The mark they 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?
Sobbing with your head in your hands
Ain’t that the way it 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

And I lost you
The one I was dancing with in New York
No shoes
Looked up at the sky and it was (maroon)

The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet it was (maroon)

The mark they saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home
So scarlet, it was maroon

And I wake with your memory over me
That’s a real lastin’ legacy, legacy
And I wake with your memory over me
That’s a real lastin’ legacy to leave

The burgundy on my t-shirt
When you splashed your wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet it was (maroon)

The mark they 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
