lyrics

Infrared
[Churchwell - © Hat's Too Tight Music (ASCAP)]


Maybe she sees by infrared
Things that are dark, and draped in shadow.
Maybe she’s seen inside your head,
And knows all of the things not even you know.
Maybe she makes no bones about
Things she’s done, things she’s become.
And maybe she sighs and tells you things
Are gonna be just fine.

The damage was done long before you found her.
Your sympathy comforts and confounds her.

Do you smile and ask her for a dance?
She’s only half-expecting your advance.
You could walk away, she may not even spare a glance.
Your path’s already set, she’s seen by infrared.
She’s seen you coming.

Maybe she dreams in infrared,
And imagines the heat of a thousand fires.
Maybe she takes flight from the dread,
And the faces of each of a thousand liars.
Maybe it makes no sense to try to go on,
Or cry when they’re gone.
And maybe it makes no difference,
‘Cos the dreams are all the same.

She’s out on a limb, and she’s getting farther.
Gravity only makes it harder.

Do you try to teach her how to laugh?
Would it help dispel her holy wrath?
You could talk all day, she’d never stray far from her path.
Her goal is dead ahead, it’s bathed in infrared,
And you’re still coming.
