[Verse 1]
And I know what you said to me was wrong
But kindness came and bit my tongue
I must admit, the taste of it is keeping me awake
You did your best to throw me off the scent
Betrayed yourself on accident
I saw it when you lit the filter of your cigarette

[Pre-Chorus]
And the smoke, it filled your lungs
You left before the sun
[Chorus]
First we ever met
You thought I was an a$
Probably correct
But I can see your shadow

[Verse 2]
And all the twenty something mannequins
Their hearts are barely broken in
But maybe now I’m just a coward envying the brave
And every time you tried to let me in
Your nails, they barely broke the skin
I must admit, the taste of it is keeping me awake

[Pre-Chorus]
And we passed out on the rug
And you left before the sun

[Chorus]
First we ever met
You thought I was an a$
Probably correct
But I can see your shadow
Only for the night
Only for the weekend

Pour another wine
Take me to your deep end
First we ever met (Silence, oh, the sinner lost his way)
You thought I was an a$
Probably correct (Living for the love of yesterday)
But I can see your shadow (‘Cause all alone and all the days)
Only for the night (You’re giving up, you hid away)
Only for the weekend
Pour another wine (Living for the love of yesterday)
Take me to your deep end
First we ever met
You thought I was an a$
Probably correct
But I still feel your shadow
