Jacketlining

Jacketlining - Jay Legaspi

As the engine rumbles off

I breathe into my cupped palms for warmth

Then dial from memory

The numbers to your house

I'm in front of your home

And my favorite song is on

Playing loudly

Through the speakers in my car

But I set them low

Just to hear the moan of your front

Door

And I wave out to you

And you smile at me

Like I'm bringing you

Good news

And we meet at the middle of your street

Teeth chattering and smoke when we breathe

And I know

If there's anything that fights the cold

It won't be the clothes that I'm wearing tonight

Or my jacket lining and no

I don't think that it's wrong to hope

The one that I hold

Feels the same way

About me

Tonight

The smell of shampoo

And body spray

And my arms like wires 'round your waist relay

By squeeze release a code that means to say

That I don't do this type of thing

On my everyday

And I pull you in close

And you find rest

In a pillow of my collarbone

And my thumbs loop your belt hoops

And we leave no room

For air to escape through

And I know

If there's anything that fights the cold

It won't be the clothes that I'm wearing tonight

Or my jacket lining and no

I don't think that it's wrong to hope

The one that I hold

Feels the same way

About me

Tonight

Ohh oh oh

And I know

If there's anything that fights the cold

It won't be the clothes that I'm wearing tonight

Or my jacket lining and no

I don't think that it's wrong to hope

The one that I hold

Feels the same way

About me

Feels the same way

About me feels the same way

About me

Tonight
