Blackout Cake

There's a blackout cake,

a single candle flame And we almost hold the rail but we

play it cool again In a crowded hallway with our shoes kicked

off Yeah we're acting like it's nothing but it's more than enough (ooh-ooh)

Walking past the thrift store mirrors in the afternoon

Trying on a velvet jacket that belonged to someone who Used to

laugh like you do when the shadows start to grow Now we're

standing in the hallway where the floorboards know

And you pull your sleeves down,

looking at the floor

Is this a soft-launch of a little something more? (mmmmm)

There's a blackout cake,

a single candle flame And we almost hold the rail but we

off Yeah we're acting like it's nothing but it's more than enough

(yeah, yeah)

Now we're sorting through the vinyl and the dusty frames

Making up the stories for the forgotten names You took a photo

of my hand beside the window pane Just another little hint that

we don't have to explain (ahhhh)

And you pull your sleeves down,

looking at the floor

Is this a soft-launch of a little something more? (mmmmm)

off Yeah we're acting like it's nothing but it's more than enough (oh-oh-oh)

With our shoes kicked off Yeah,

we're acting like it's nothing Just a single candle

In the hallway
