Silhouettes Lyrics

Silhouettes in the yellow moon

Fell a little too hard and they split in two

Raw, a little out of tune

Beautiful and broken, but try not to swoon

Oh you...was disinterested until I heard her say

So nice to finally meet you

Autumn eyes and sweet perfume

My heart might've skipped just a beat or two

That little black dress and those ruby shoes

Okay…was all that I could say

I sense there's heartache on the way

Well, is there something that I could do

Desperate eyes with some attitude

Know I shouldn't but I can't refuse

Stick to the plan but don't follow through

It's true...well he's not home so you can't come in today

Leave me holed up in my room

Sulking on the floor

Devious things do loom

Now you've got to lock the door

Oh but what for? Cuz you can stall

But never keep those wolves at bay

Well, I sense there's heartache on the way

Envy, gluttony, greed and lust

Show me somebody I can trust

Don't care for the people in the background much

Dreaming through the days until I feel her touch

Again…I must sound so insane

Heartache sets in, here comes the pain

She says her head's a mess

Breaking my heart in that same black dress

I want to say that I cannot stress

Enough I guess, I must confess

Oh I'm a little unimpressed, by the way

I still love you to death

Feeling just a little over-dressed

Although she always looked her best

I've got to pass but this is not a test

Still scored higher above all the rest

But it was all in jest

Though that's not to suggest

That I can't feel the strain

The wood is pushing off against the windowpane

Hinges drop and separate the door from its frame

Stand back, the wolves broke through again

Silhouettes in the yellow moon

Danced a little too close and they split too soon

Raw, a little out of tune

Beautiful and broken, trying not to swoon
