Watching That Chair Painted Yellow - The Twilight Sad

there's a book in my hand

with pictures that i can't feel

eating at your wood with every end

because

no one ever knows

no one ever sees their name

tell me that it wasn't you pretending

screaming so they all look round

and tell me that you weren't pretending

the sea is in the other hand

and tell me that you weren't pretending

the sea is in the other hand

through pictures it won't stay

through your pictures she won't stay

there's a book in my hand

confused by all that's real

coloured with a woman that understands

because

no one ever knows

no one ever sees her name

and tell me that it wasn't you pretending

screaming so they all look round

tell me that you weren't pretending

the sea is in the other hand

tell me that you weren't pretending

the sea is in the other hand

through pictures it won't stay

through your pictures she won't stay

screaming so they all look round

so tell me that you weren't pretending

the sea is in the other hand

so tell me that you weren't pretending

the sea is in the other hand

screaming so they all look round

so tell me that you weren't pretending
