lyrics

I saw you waiting in a red dress
Your eyes were watery and burning like the salt beneath the sea
I saw you waiting in a red dress
When you looked back it was hard to miss
You staring straight through me
I saw you gazing with a bored look
Don’t be surprised when my eyes
Glaze over like glass

Crease and fold me,
Put me away
But there aren’t pockets in a dress

I saw you floating out your front door
And then I realized I’d never seen one quite like you before
I saw you glowing you were best dressed
I felt I saw your molten, melting, smoldering core

Crease and fold me,
Put me away
But there aren’t pockets in a dress

I saw you burning in a red dress
Your heart was glowing like a candle that you forgot to blow out
And when I called out I could hear you
Echo for a mile
I saw you waiting in a red dress
I saw you tearing up but never even saw you crack a smile
I saw you leaving for the first time
I knew that when I’d see you it would be a while

Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
But there aren’t pockets in a dress

Should’ve seen you in an even gown
But you were waiting to cut holes for your feet
I thought I tasted you were circumspect
It must’ve been a bead of sweat
Saw you dancing out your evening dress,
Realized then that you were better than the rest
I thought I saw a microscopic tear,
While I was grinning ear to ear

I saw you crying in a black dress
I tried to touch you but I couldn’t put my hand through frosted glass
Saw you sobbing in a black dress
I tried to steal your pain but couldn’t steal it like I could the rest

Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
Crease and fold me,
Put me away
But there aren’t pockets in a dress

I saw you waiting in a red dress
