lyrics

Your off-white whiskey smile struck me to the core
Toe-tapping morse code secrets on your hardwood floor
I could not decipher them
What did you whisper them for?
Take your top hat and blanket and don't come 'round here no more

REFRAIN
Left foot, right foot
Movin' to someone else's sound
I've lost all sense of me
Not sure I want to be found
Release me from your gravity, it's pulling me down
And I can't seem to make my feet stay on the ground

"Buenas dias, Senorita," you said
And I was lifted off my chair
Straining to hear your resonance pouring through the air
A suit of green, finger pluckin' melody
No soul was spared
But I could not sing along
Strung me along after the song till I was bare

REFRAIN

You must be the blues,
I thought and stood on my head
Because the world made sense upside-down
Blood turning my eyes red
Held together by the skin of our cheeks
I followed and you led
To the rhythm slow and deep
But you looked at me and saw her instead

REFRAIN

Who are you,
Who will you be?
You jump off trains, fight with words
And love like rain on me
Won't you drench me down like a Carolina thunderstorm
Who are you
Who are you who'll stand with me

Stand on the lawn, technicolor in the dawn with me
Stand and hold me close as the grass grows 'tween my toes with me

REFRAIN
