lyrics

the light of old mistakes

you and i
dined in style tonight
made palimpsest by neon lights
hooded apparitions
hollow-eyed and thin
haunt the hidden corners
strain to listen in
as across formica tables
you and i we traded sins
and you looked at me and laughed and said
‘this is how it begins’

the world she favours runners
and run is what we’ll do
in a moment you were on your feet
threw away the shoes
‘cause you don’t need them where we’re going
no, you don’t need anything to hold you down
you need nothing

your hand, it found mine
fingers intertwined
up on the carpark roof
below the lowering skies
you delivered a monologue
in the direction of the moon
i stole a glance at lightly freckled thighs
and you
you tucked your hair behind your ear
and smiled, in the halflight
and as absent-minded fingers
teased unruly tresses
i knew i had no defense
for so careless a gesture now

by the light of old mistakes
we dance tonight
just you and i
