The Black Dress

Umbrellas


I've never seen her before 
never been here before 
yet she seemed strangely familiar 
never set foot in this bar 
nor do i recognize that car 
but you caught my eye 
it looks like you've altered your skin 
to fit over that tiny skeleton 
maybe you kidnapped some girl 
adopted her posture and jaw line 
made them your own 
well, they aren't yours to own 
you know that good boy aint' me 
people like us get poured into the daylight 
against the white sheets 
your black dress looks like an awful sin 
here we go again 
you're transparent 
no proper introduction just a sly smile 
you've been throwing 'em back all night 
you're such a sloppy drunk 
there goes another one on my shirt 
you said you have my words written on your 
mirror in your bedroom at home 
i'm so flattere, i really am 
i can feel my cheeks flush 
it always makes the girls blush 
you know that good boy aint me 
people like us get poured into the daylight 
against the white sheets 
your black dress looks like an awful sin 
here we go again 
i can feel my cheeks flush 
it always makes the girls blush 
here we go again
