Bright Red

You know that feeling
Bright red and seizing
Every word that you said
(Did you mean it
Did you mean it all?)
There it goes to my head
(You be careful
It’s contagious, boy)
But it feels so good
It’s just wires
Smoke and mirrors and flowers
Help! And throw me a rope
I think I’m drowning
Shallow people
Help! I think I’m falling, falling again
You know that feeling
Bright red and seizing
When you’d like to be seen
(Did you see her?
Did you see her hair?)
Would you like to told
(You look gorgeous, simply gorgeous)
We like to be heard
(Did you hear her? Did she say something charming?)
Help! And throw me a rope
I think I’m drowning
Help! I think I’m falling, falling again
Breathe in
Breathe out
And sigh
And sigh
Help! And throw me a rope
I think I’m drowning (drowning)
Face down
Help! Oh, help
No more falling for tall tales again
Still falling for shallow people
Help! Help!
I think I’m falling again
You know the feeling
Time to believe it
