Curacao Blue - Mansions

I know what shirt you were wearing when I first bared your bones

And in the light of the television, you were my own

Did you think I would stay?

Did you think I would go?

I was the one to make you aware of the things you ought to know

I was still waiting for the daylight when you appeared

And when I’d wrap my arms around you

I wasn’t scared

I know just what I was drinking when I first was untrue

Sea air, cheap beer, and some loneliness all mixed with curacao blue

Did I think it would stay?

What happens there doesn’t go

She was the one to make me aware of the things I ought to know

It was a mistake that caused your heartache

I was just a kid, you should have seen yourself

We were so young, but oh so serious

And I understand exactly why I fell: I didn’t really want you or myself
