lyrics

We first met at the danger scene,
The speaker fell to the floor in the middle of his scream
I picked it up and we danced so hard
At the old house turned into the bar

I heard you speak, thought your words were strange
You were fine all by yourself next the stage
Eyeshadow matched your hair and I let you know

Chorus
And you stayed out late while we loaded the cars
Took the haymaker walk he said it wasn’t too far
You sat beside me there, but not too close
You were quick and funny

We all laughed for a bit but the bands said bye
I asked if you knew where’d you be sleeping that night
You checked around and said probably your car
I offered my couch, you said I wasn’t sketchy so far

To my home we went, I gave you pillow and sheet
You mentioned cross and tattoo, and asked what it means
I bared a glimpse of my heart, of failure and weakness

Chorus 2
And we stayed up late, maybe 6 am
Just lost in ourselves, and what that meant
You said if that’s all, well then that’s a yes
You came to me close

I’ve seen a thousand pretty faces, as yours sure is
But to hear an echo of your soul, how could I resist
You understood more than the mere words I spoke

Our humbled failures did begin to show
I resisted sleep, I had to hear more
The physical but a glimmer of your aura
Who are you,
