From the recording James
Lyrics
Verse 1
Flickering lights in a room out of time
You said you’d be real, I pretended you’re mine
Pre-Chorus
I trace your name in the steam on the glass
But even ghosts grow tired too fast
Chorus
And we dance like strangers in a glass parade
Smiles so sharp they could cut the shade
And we move like shadows in a paper ballet
Folded and torn in the prettiest way
Verse 2
You left your voice in a bottle of rain
And I drink it down just to feel you again
Pre-Chorus
Time plays tricks on the back of my eyes
You’re always just leaving, always just lies
Chorus
Bridge (Instrumental)
Final Chorus
And we dance like strangers in a glass parade
Smiles so sharp they could cut the shade
And we move like shadows in a paper ballet
Folded and torn in the prettiest way
