Just ‘cos I saw a wrong different version of it somewhere
Red Dress
Lonely December, remember Septemer
Ice-cream and carousels and that long blonde hair
Waiting and wanting your scent on my skin
And all the times that we just stayed in
Every morning when I look in the mirror
This reflection is just my distraction
It’s hard to think about all the smiles we shared
And all the things you did just to make me glad
You were my only girl and you broke my heart
You were just finding a brand new start
Now that I’ve found you, more or less
You still wear that same red dress
Time’s not turning back as I sit still
You might be going home but I never will
The show’s all over now don’t want to leave
I might just move on if I could just believe
You were my only girl and you broke my heart
You were just finding a brand new start
Now that I’ve found you, more or less
You still wear that same red dress
If you were there at Laundry Bar for Moonshine last week, you would’ve heard the debut of this song at the end of the set. It’s one of my favourites so far.
Here are the lyrics:
Wear it loud, wear it proud
Wear it till it bleeds and stains your shirt sleeve red
Pin it up, point it deep
I feel it beat and I hear me weep
But still I wear it out on my sleeve
La da dee da
It doesn’t hurt
La da dee da
It’s just a shirt
Ride it high, ride it good
Ride it wild and fall just like you should
It’s okay, I’m alright
I’m just weeping but I’m feeling fine
And still I wear it out on my sleeve
La da dee da
It doesn’t hurt
La da dee da
It’s just a shirt
Oh lord it’s coming
It’s coming over me
That sweet, sweet misery
(repeat)
Oh lord I’m drowning
I’m drowning in the deep blue sea
Of that sweet, sweet misery
