Scarlett Wishes

that’s what happens when
he sees red
and bloody images
go through his head
downed too much warmth again
and scarlett knows where he’s been
she couldn’t stop it if she tried
and she’s tried

flames leap from
the fireplace
not the red hot poker
no not again
she really wanted a fireplace
and she remembers when
the only red was on her lips
her blood red lips

chorus:

scarlett wishes
he’d turn off the red light
gets too hot in here
scarlett wishes
he’d call off the front lines
and draw her body near
and whisper in her ear
oh, oh, again
oh, oh, again

that’s what happens when
he sees red
and bloody images
go through his head
downed too much warmth again
and scarlett knows where he’s been
she couldn’t stop it if she tried
and she’s tried

chorus:

scarlett wishes
she could turn off the red light
make him disappear
scarlett wishes
he would die in the front lines
buried with her fears
oh, oh, again
oh, oh, again

scarlett wishes she could...
