Lyrics Brooke Fraser – Scarlet
Text:
Middle of nowhere
Finally you can breathe
Nobody knows your name
It’s easier
Shut your eyes tightly
Clench your fists ’til they almost bleed
Cautiously, lightly
Gently expose what’s underneath
And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
Even if it’s real
You can’t stay…
Chorus
So there you go
You’re gone for good
There you go
You’re gone for good
Your mind is swollen
From months of thought without release
They’ve taken their toll on you
And this very moment
Of timid and fragile honesty
Is precious and rare and fleeting
And all you feel now
Is the scarlet in the day
And even if it’s real
You can’t stay…
Chorus x2
