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 every day 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 onto me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was
The mark you saw on my collarbone
The rust that 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 rubies that I gave up

When 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 onto me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was (maroon)
The mark you saw on my collarbone
The rust that 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 that you see (it was maroon)
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 onto me
And how the blood rushed into my cheeks
So scarlet, it was maroon
The mark you saw on my collarbone
The rust that grew between telephones
The lips I used to call home
So scarlet, it was maroon

It was maroon
It was maroon
