Maroon

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 cheap
ass 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 shit
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 fucking
legacy legacy
(It was maroon)
And I wake with your memory
over me
That's a real fucking 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
