Alright by Monday - Red Girl (Live) Lyrics

Cuz the Red Girl is touching my chest
My heart runs with what happens next
In her room it's a gentle touch
The scars stay lying in the dust

I know I'm the one you settle for
In the back of the curtain door
Every touch could be gentle enough
If you're blind and I don't interrupt
Take a drag and keep a little more
Leave the bottle on the bathroom floor
I'll take a swing till I think I'm deaf
We're crippled the way we met

And the Red Girl is touching my chest
My heart runs with what happens next
In your room it ain't gentle enough
The scars stay lying in the dust

I know you keep me in the second room
No shame but not the one you woo
You can sense that I'm fine with that
There's enough flags to hold me back
You always loved that I know who I am
It's all that I could understand
You always laughed at my certainty
But it's all that kept me in your league

And the Red Girl is touching my chest
My heart runs with what happens next
In their room it's gentle enough
The scars stay hide if I don't do too much

I hope you keep I inside your head
Just a place I visit instead
Where I can pretend I would have died on the hill
Not smoking shades writing fiction on the windowsill

While the Red Girl is touching my chest
My heart runs with what happens next
In her room it's a gentle touch
The scars stay as it fades to dust

I miss my Red Girl
I miss my Red Girl
