Bright Red
The sun just spiked its way out of the white sky Pierced my eyes like a thorn It was the hottest summer in 30 years Since before I was born
My shoulders turned freckled and brown And my favorite pair of shoes melted into the ground And we drove around with the windows down And our bodies drenched in sweat That's a year I will never forget
And I can't remember why But I bought a box of dye And painted my hair bright red I guess that I was just Papering over the cracks In the sidewalks running through my head
And that was the year I was safe from all the lies They were new enough not to haunt me yet I'm not even sure They knew it was me they were hunting for But they were just dim enough to forget

And there were still the white stripes of skin Where we never let the sunshine in And they glowed brightly in the dark And my red hair looked kind of like a spark
And then the sky turned a comfortable blue It was fall again, summer was through And there was just the faded orange of my once-red hair And the hint of winter coming into view
And I can't remember why But I bought a box of dye And painted my hair bright red I guess that I was just Papering over the cracks In the sidewalks running through my head
