Red Flags

Red flags are vying for my attention

Nothing adds up

Getting by on old goodwill

Backtracking thoughts from their destination

I closed my eyes thinking I could keep up still

How do you know your limits honey

How do you walk the line

My vision was blurry as dawn faded in

But I saw you on the roof tonight

I would just say this to mess with your head

I saw you on the roof tonight

You have a gift for compelling defense

Even tonight I considered every word

But I can’t summon the needed credence

Once off the hook you dissolve and I concur

And so it goes you remain unattainable

I’m high then low so tell me

Just how did you know my weakness honey

How do you walk the line

Turns out I’m a witness what’s your alibi

I saw you on the roof tonight

I wouldn’t just say this to mess with your head

I saw you on the roof tonight

My vision was blurry cause dusk used to run the show

Fading in fading in

All the footwork

All the charades

What’s it for

Fingers crossed

Once I’ve lost all trust in you

I can’t lose you anymore

And so I’ve decided to stick to my guns

I saw you on the roof tonight

Turns out I’m a witness what’s your alibi

I saw you on the roof tonight

My vision was blurry but I can’t deny

That I saw you on the roof tonight

I swear I don’t say this to mess with your head

Fading in Fading in

How do you know your limits honey

How do you walk the line
