Scarlet & Gold

Back to when I was 15

I fantasized that I'd meet

Someone to see through my iris

Sheets prooved it wasn't so likely

Red lipstick, sharp-witted, dirty talk

Straight out of a Fitzgerald novel

I couldn't stop my eyes blinking photos

I gotta tell that you, man

All is not lost

I wouldn't mind

If burned me slow

'Til I'm gone

'Til I turn

Into bones

I didn't lie

When I called you gold

'Cause you're art

And I'd love to solve you

At this torrential crossroad

You're a yellow light I'll reach for

I wouldn't mind

If burned me slow

'Til I'm gone

'Til I turn

Into bones

I didn't lie

When I called you gold

'Cause you're art

And I'd love to solve you
