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 rosé”
That’s how
I see you everyday 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 the wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was

The mark you saw on my collarbone
The rust it 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 rubis 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 the wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was maroon

The mark you saw on my collarbone
The rust it 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
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 the wine into me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was maroon

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

It was maroon
It was maroon
