about

On Red on Red Records

lyrics

Now that it’s over
Can we just admit this was something
Trading always for sometimes
And drinks for apologies
Losing ourselves in a night that turned into a morning Telling each other we’re better off finally free

Now I can’t breathe when you’re around
I could never get up when you’re down
Take it in stride, turn it around
Try to be free

Now that you’re better
Can we just move on and move forward
Staying out after midnight
But still coming home before dawn
Hoping we left with our dignity knowing that
Feeling so right doesn’t making less wrong

I could never get up when you’re down
Take it in stride, turn it around
Try to be free
Moving ourselves up to the line
I could never be wrong when you’re always so right
And I won’t leave here to tonight
And try to be free

Now that it’s over
Can we just admit this was something
Knowing we stuck the landing
And you were my last great affair

I could never get up when you’re down
Take it in stride, turn it around
Try to be free
Moving ourselves up to the line
I could never be wrong when you’re always so right
And I won’t leave here to tonight
And try to be free
