Joi Olympia - Red Flags Lyrics

Finally I've had my taste
My hands they are still shaking, they can hardly interlace
And the colors are all washing over me
Am I swimming or I'm drowning, so difficult to see

And I know that this is not our time
Still we try and try to make things right
And we'll build a perfect house
All filled with perfect chairs
And obsess over furniture that doesn't know it's there
But we do what we're supposed to do
We'll change all the locks
For a world that's me and you

When do we turn back time
Can we take the red flags and try to paint them white
I surrender I surrender I surrender to your love
Love, They say, is not always enough

When do we turn back time
But time is just a number and that number is a crime
In the eyes of a man, the heart of a girl
It can heal or it can break
You don't get another turn
And that actions that we take
Are the scars upon your world

Finally I've had my taste
The blues and the greens are all going to waste
And I'm sitting in this chair and it's in it's perfect place
But I've forgotten how the songs goes
At least Ive got this space
With you with you with you
With you with you with you with you
With you with you with you
With you with you with you with you
