Lyrics
LIPSTICK
standing in the rain wearing your sweater
the angels that call after me use your name
everywhere i go i pretend i'm walking right behind you and
you turn around see me plain standing like a stain on the ground
in my own orbit a star a lonely satellite
without a planet to wrap her up and hold her tight
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
(i see you what do you see?)
streets suck me down your front door makes me drown
don't tell me the raindrops are not really angels
cause i like the way they paint your face such grace
a sweet embrace just a trace of a smile burdens your lips
the lips i want to kiss without lipstick
makes me want to drown take me down with you
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
i'm watching you in my mind like you're on TV
(i see you what do you see?)
i'm a romance insomniac 4am i yak yak yak yak
cough syrup without the hack won't set me back
won't give the sleep i lack just a kiss one you wouldn't miss
lend me a kiss i swear i'll give it back to you
let me kiss your lips without lipstick
let me taste the rain on your hair on your coat
on your mouth on your eyelids on your cheeks
i'm standing in the rain wearing your sweater
hoping everything in my life gets better
i'm standing in the rain
take me down with you
standing in the rain
take me down with you
standing in the rain...
