Copper Hair

מילים

[Verse 1] You walk in laughing Red hair, bare shoulders I play it cool, but I Lose my nerve Your smile hits me first Like a fist to the chest I joke, you grin And I forget my name [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands in my pockets Keep my heart in the dark Every word you toss me Leaves a mark I’m too damn close To say what I mean So I bite my tongue And watch you leave [Chorus] Copper hair, stay near me Copper hair, can’t you see? I’m burning quiet You don’t know me Copper hair, hold on Copper hair, don’t let go I’m a wreck in plain sight And you’re the only one I know [Verse 2] We sit on your porch steps You talk about nothing I laugh a little too hard At every little thing Your knee brushes mine And I swear I freeze Like a church bell stopped In the middle of Sunday You say I’m your best friend Like it’s safe and clean I nod and I smile Like that won’t kill me I drive home angry With your voice on repeat And every red light Feels like a mean trick [Pre-Chorus] I keep my hands in my pockets Keep my heart in the dark Every word you toss me Leaves a mark I’m too damn close To say what I mean So I bite my tongue And watch you leave [Chorus] Copper hair, stay near me Copper hair, can’t you see? I’m burning quiet You don’t know me Copper hair, hold on Copper hair, don’t let go I’m a wreck in plain sight And you’re the only one I know [Bridge] If I told you tonight Would you run, would you stay? Would that smile turn to ash When I give myself away? I’m no hero, no saint Just a fool in a denim coat With a chest full of thunder And a mouth that won’t let it go [Breakdown] Say my name Say it soft Say you feel What I lost I’ve been here All this time Begging for a sign Begging for a sign [Final Chorus] Copper hair, stay near me Copper hair, can’t you see? I’m burning quiet You don’t know me Copper hair, hold on Copper hair, don’t let go If you felt this too I’d never let it show Copper hair, stay near me Copper hair, can’t you see? I’m burning quiet You don’t know me Copper hair, hold on Copper hair, don’t let go I’m a wreck in plain sight And you’re the only one I know
