lyrics

Tonight you'll feel alone,
Peeling paper from your wall,
Hoping this won't feel like home,
In the morning fix your tie,
Under blinding bathroom lights,
Tell yourself you're doing fine,
Stand up straight,
As you think of her velvet dress,
The way you held her to your chest,
Her wrist watch pressed against your neck,
As you think of that summer night,
Under blinding bathroom lights,
You fight the tears from your eyes.

Tonight you'll fall asleep,
Frozen hands and frozen feet,
You will miss her body heat,
There beside yourself with hurt,
You lie helpless and inert,
Dream that every bridge she burned,
Turned to ash,
As you think of her velvet dress,
The way you held her to your chest,
Her wrist watch pressed against your neck,
As you think of all those times,
You climbed the ladders in her tights,
Pushed your lips against her thighs.

She left you, in this house,
Without a word, in this house,
She left you, in this house,
For the arms of another, in this house.

Tonight you'll escape home,
Take the roads you used to roam,
To narrowed streets of cobbled stone,
Where every alleyway is laced,
With all the secrets she had made,
Your feet lead you to that place,
From that summer night,
As you think of her velvet dress,
The way you held her to your chest,
Her wrist watch pressed against your neck,
As the memory bursts to life,
Under blinding white streetlights,
You fight the tears from your eyes.
