Lyrics
0:19My boy covered in red
0:22We were flushed in fluorescents
0:24The backseat a bed
0:26When a knock on the window
0:29A flash in our eyes
0:31And an officer happy to ruin our night
0:36I let out a laugh like a shriek or a cry
0:40And you hit me reflexively quick
0:43At the time I was stunned into silence
0:47We got just a warning
0:49I'm hoping we make it
0:51A joke in the morning
0:56You drive to my house
1:00I want us to talk but
1:02The quiet's too loud
1:05I try to get naked again in the back
1:09I want you to see and
1:14To want what I have
1:18When you look at me
1:22Is that all that I am?
1:46My boy covered in red
1:49From the blood dancing harshly
1:52And quick to his head
1:54Through a body that's working
1:57Three times as hard
1:58To pretend what he's screaming
2:01Is straight from the heart
2:03Saying do you think I
2:06Want that right now?
2:08On the road by your house?
2:10Are you kidding me now?
2:12And you're laughing at me
2:14And I don't find it funny
2:17But maybe I'll get it
2:19Alone in the morning
2:23The bed in my house
2:28I try to get off but can't picture you now
2:32The backs of my eyelids are lonely and black
2:37Now all that I see is all that I have
2:46When you think of me
2:50Is that all that I am?
2:56A boy covered in blue
2:59Putting walls up around him
3:02A jailer confused
3:04Casting off all new strangers
3:06Alone at the table saying
3:09No one can hurt me if nobody's able
My boy covered in red We were flushed in fluorescents The backseat a bed When a knock on the window A flash in our eyes And an officer happy to ruin our night I let out a laugh like a shriek or a cry And you hit me reflexively quick At the time I was stunned into silence We got just a warning I'm hoping we make it A joke in the morning You drive to my house I want us to talk but The quiet's too loud I try to get naked again in the back I want you to see and To want what I have When you look at me Is that all that I am? My boy covered in red From the blood dancing harshly And quick to his head Through a body that's working Three times as hard To pretend what he's screaming Is straight from the heart Saying do you think I Want that right now? On the road by your house? Are you kidding me now? And you're laughing at me And I don't find it funny But maybe I'll get it Alone in the morning The bed in my house I try to get off but can't picture you now The backs of my eyelids are lonely and black Now all that I see is all that I have When you think of me Is that all that I am? A boy covered in blue Putting walls up around him A jailer confused Casting off all new strangers Alone at the table saying No one can hurt me if nobody's able
