Flags

So many scarlet shaded flags
Waving around my head
But I choose to look right past them
Why do I want you so bad?
I should just stay home instead
Didn't you know that you're my favorite shade of red?

I cried out inside
My heart is getting low on supply
Your love language is so versatile
Should I hold my breath?
Cause' this could take a while

Can I try you on
Until you've gone?
I'm backing down tonight
Wavin' my flag up way too high
I've been withdrawn
In my thoughts that haunt
With the way you move
I don't think that I'll get to choose

A fight or flight greeting
Delight turns to sinking
And I don't know if I remember how to swim
Cause' the water may be freezing
Enough just to burn my skin
But it makes me want to go out on a limb

The hurt, it can't hide
But you show up and the pain subsides
The sound of your voice could get away with a crime
Can I hold my breath
Long enough for you to be mine?

Can I try you on
Until you've gone?
I'm backing down tonight
Wavin' my flag up way too high
I've been withdrawn
In my thoughts that haunt
With the way you move
I don't think that I'll get to choose

Oh
What's it like to be so cold?
But give heat off like a glow
That I follow the whole way home
Oh whoa
Hope we're lucky the way we roll
2 dice but there's 13 holes
And it's out of my control

These flags keep wavin' all in time
Some of the colors lose their shine
But yours still seems to fly so bright
While all the others intertwine
And overshadow mine
Maybe the flag you're waving is the finish line

Can I try you on
Until you've gone?
I'm backing down tonight
Wavin' my flag up way too high
I've been withdrawn
In my thoughts that haunt
With the way you move
I don't think that I'll get to choose

Oh
What's it like to be so cold?
But give heat off like a glow
That I follow the whole way home
Oh whoa
Hope we're lucky the way we roll
2 dice but there's 13 holes
And it's out of my control
