jeremyinpost - Red Lyrics

I took my old way home
And I knew I saw your car
It had the same old dent
And a sticker of a nautical star
Parked in front of the dingbat
We almost made our own
A man in jam-band clothing
Kissed you twice and headed home

Red cheeks, I am
Dying to ask you

I heard about your new place
How's it living in a dream?
I saw the cracks on your face
Are you happy without me?

Red dress, I am
Trying to tell you

I called our mutual friend
Just to talk about the times
He couldn't wait to show me
The things you tried to hide
Crying at the dive bar
Begging men for smokes
Giving them fake numbers
While you laughed at shitty jokes

Red dreams, I am
Only laughing with you

I heard about your new place
Is it living in a dream?
Do you still see my reflection
In your stolen plasma screen?

Red mess, I am
Watching you dry out

I knew you once
But it doesn't seem
Like this life at all
We were 20, not yet sober

I left you then
But it could've
Gone either way
We were 20, life was over

I still drive by your new place
But I'd never want to stay
Glad things turned out like this,
We would've burnt out anyway

Red light, I am
Sweating the small stuff

I don't care about your new place
Now that is just a lie
I never think about you
Okay, I won't even try

Red dreams, I am
Hoping this all fades
Away
