Mel + Rita
He's got dark circles underneath his eyes
Unrecognized he hides behind
A carefully crafted guise
Until now, he'd never seen her face before
She's not concerned with what the boys might say
The girls, determined to destroy her
Intent on always getting in the way
It's not the first time she's been in this place before
Warmth belies sad eyes
A cold wind breathes relief
Combined at night, in the winter
Out of nowhere, something right
They didn't even have to try
It happens just like that sometimes
They didn't have to speak
He took his knife out of its sheath
And carved upon the hardwood floor
"Mel + Rita Evermore"
Warmth belies sad eyes
A cold wind breathes relief
Combined at night, in the winter
Out of nowhere, something right
He just froze and she took his hand in hers
As the wind relieved the building of its roof
The dread storm overhead the undeniable proof they need
He let her take the lead
She posed and he put her shape to paper
As the violent sky above them set the scene
The fires felt, at first, a dream
But the ashes fell like lake-effect snow
If it weren't for us
The world may never know
Warmth belies sad eyes
A cold wind breathes relief
Combined at night, in the winter
Out of nowhere, something right
Unrecognized he hides behind
A carefully crafted guise
Until now, he'd never seen her face before
She's not concerned with what the boys might say
The girls, determined to destroy her
Intent on always getting in the way
It's not the first time she's been in this place before
Warmth belies sad eyes
A cold wind breathes relief
Combined at night, in the winter
Out of nowhere, something right
They didn't even have to try
It happens just like that sometimes
They didn't have to speak
He took his knife out of its sheath
And carved upon the hardwood floor
"Mel + Rita Evermore"
Warmth belies sad eyes
A cold wind breathes relief
Combined at night, in the winter
Out of nowhere, something right
He just froze and she took his hand in hers
As the wind relieved the building of its roof
The dread storm overhead the undeniable proof they need
He let her take the lead
She posed and he put her shape to paper
As the violent sky above them set the scene
The fires felt, at first, a dream
But the ashes fell like lake-effect snow
If it weren't for us
The world may never know
Warmth belies sad eyes
A cold wind breathes relief
Combined at night, in the winter
Out of nowhere, something right
