Red Lights, Yellow Flashes

from Every Second Home by For Hours and Ours

lyrics

He's taking chances on romances better left for dead. He's taking chances on romances better left unsaid. The soft sunlight burns through his eyes (mistakes slowly creeping through the blinds).

She still whispers dead frequencies in his head. Almost nothing left: fleeting but never fled. But those purple lips and morning breath kept him coming back. They never said it all, but this is deja-vu all over again.

No when the red lights turn to yellow flashes, he remembers the bat of her eyelashes.
