Red Hair Mercy

Songtext

[Verse 1] You walk in late With that red hair fire Like a fox in a storm And a preacher's choir Your laugh hits hard In that old brick room Bright enough to cut Through the split black moon I keep my eyes down Act like I'm fine But my chest gets loud Every time you shine [Pre-Chorus] You lean my way I lose my ground One look from you And the whole room's sound My tongue goes dry My hands go still I'm swallowed whole By the way you feel [Chorus] Red hair mercy Don't you know? You light my dark Wherever you go Red hair mercy I can't hide I'm in too deep With you inside If you ever knew What I can't say You'd see my heart Burning away [Verse 2] I'm the one you call When your truck won't start When some lowdown fool Breaks a careless heart I fix your frame I hold your bags I bury my want In old work rags You talk about love Like it ain't mine Like it walks on by And leaves no sign But every small touch Every crooked grin Feels like hell and heaven Trying to fit in [Pre-Chorus] You rest your head On the passenger seat And I bite my lip Till it bleeds discreet 'Cause if I speak And you step back I'll be alone With this aching crack [Chorus] Red hair mercy Don't you know? You light my dark Wherever you go Red hair mercy I can't hide I'm in too deep With you inside If you ever knew What I can't say You'd see my heart Burning away [Bridge] Maybe I'm just a fool With a busted pride Standing in the glow Of your friend-shaped lie Maybe some nights You almost see The war I wage In my own damn knees I'd trade my shadow For one soft chance I'd risk this ruin For your first dance [Chorus] Red hair mercy Don't you know? You light my dark Wherever you go Red hair mercy I can't hide I'm in too deep With you inside If you ever knew What I can't say You'd see my heart Burning away [Outro] So I'll keep on smiling Keep acting clean Secret in my ribs Like a broken dream But if you turn And you feel that spark Maybe you'll find me In the dark (Find me in the dark)
