In Parentheses Lyrics - Singles - Running Red Lights

Melding shapes against a ruby sky 

That was you and I 

Unspooled and scarless we were 

Shatterproof against the wild world 

God, your smile girl 

Could silence vanity 

But life let go just like an 

avalanche 

One last dance and our love was 

vanished 

Now you're a precious name in my 

parentheses 

You'll forever live in the footnotes of my memory 

You, my love, will always be 

My favourite apostrophe 

I'll remember you 

So remember me 

In parentheses 

One sip of gin and I will think of you 

How you used to get drunk on 

Tanqueray and 

Climb on the tavern bar and sing a song 

We'd all sing along 

"Baby we were born to run!" 

You, my love, will always be 

My favourite apostrophe 

I'll remember you 

So remember me 

In parentheses 

So if you get a feeling now and then 

and you're wonderin' 

Who's thinking of you, know its 

Somebody fixed in the parentheses 

of your narrative, in the footnotes of your memory 

You my love will always be 

(first moves) 

My favourite apostrophe (fixed eyes) 

I'll remember you (drawn out...) 

So remember me (...goodbyes) 

In parentheses
