Cinder Smile

Lyrics

[Verse 1] You came in laughing, Red hair in the air. Boots on the mat, Like you owned my stare. You said, “Pass the salt,” Like it meant no thing. But your smile hit hard, Like a gunshot ring. I played it cool, With my eyes in the floor. You were my friend, But I wanted more. One cheap little touch, At the edge of the crowd, And I bit my tongue, I never said it out loud. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you got that spark, That cuts right through. One look from you And I’m split in two. I keep my hands busy, Keep my mouth shut tight, While your grin burns holes In the coldest night. [Chorus] Red hair, red hair, You light me up. Red hair, red hair, I can’t get enough. If you felt this too, You’d say it now. Red hair, red hair, Don’t let me down. Your smile on the wall, Breaks me in two. Red hair, red hair, I’m stuck on you. (oh, I’m stuck on you) [Verse 2] I know your coffee order, Your laugh by the door. The way you say my name Like you’ve said it before. I’ve held your coat When the rain came hard. I’ve been your backup In the parking lot yard. You cried over him, I said, “He ain’t worth that.” I wanted to burn Every lie he had. I wanted to tell you What my chest won’t hide, But I watched you lean in And I swallowed my pride. [Pre-Chorus] 'Cause you got that spark, That cuts right through. One look from you And I’m split in two. I keep my hands busy, Keep my mouth shut tight, While your grin burns holes In the coldest night. [Chorus] Red hair, red hair, You light me up. Red hair, red hair, I can’t get enough. If you felt this too, You’d say it now. Red hair, red hair, Don’t let me down. Your smile on the wall, Breaks me in two. Red hair, red hair, I’m stuck on you. (oh, I’m stuck on you) [Bridge] If I take one step, Will you step back? Will it wreck this thing? Will it turn all black? I don’t want to lose My seat by your side, But I’m drowning slow In the truth I hide. So here goes my heart, Laid bare, uncut. I been yours for years, That’s the hell of it. If you never know, Then I’ll still carry through, But baby, I swear I was made for you. [Final Chorus] Red hair, red hair, You light me up. Red hair, red hair, I can’t get enough. If you felt this too, You’d say it now. Red hair, red hair, Don’t let me down. Your smile on the wall, Breaks me in two. Red hair, red hair, I’m stuck on you. Red hair, red hair, Say it’s true. Red hair, red hair, I’m yours if you do. (yeah, I’m yours if you do)
