lyrics
she says forget what you have to do
pretend there is nothing
outside this room
and like an idea she came to me
but she came too late
or maybe too soon
i said please try not to love me
close your eyes
i’m turning on the light
you know i have no vacancy
and it’s awfully cold outside tonight
the rain stains the brick
a darker red
slowly i’m rolling
out of the bed
the rain stains the street
a darker black
i dress my face in stone
because i can’t go back
i feel her eyes watching me
from behind the curtain of her hair
she says i’m sorry
i didn’t mean to stare
i say i think i really have to go now
but oh baby maybe someday
maybe somehow
pretend there is nothing
outside this room
and like an idea she came to me
but she came too late
or maybe too soon
i said please try not to love me
close your eyes
i’m turning on the light
you know i have no vacancy
and it’s awfully cold outside tonight
the rain stains the brick
a darker red
slowly i’m rolling
out of the bed
the rain stains the street
a darker black
i dress my face in stone
because i can’t go back
i feel her eyes watching me
from behind the curtain of her hair
she says i’m sorry
i didn’t mean to stare
i say i think i really have to go now
but oh baby maybe someday
maybe somehow
