When the Flags Are False

Verse 1

Rain stains the glass, tumbling slow

When the flags are false, still you go

Bare skin chills, you wait, hesitate

Lost in a blue haze, tangled in fate

One touch, two breaths, broken laugh

Stained lipstick, midnight math

I try to leave, leave with a lie

Heart's caught in my high

Chorus

Tell me baby, when the flags are false

Does it raise your pulse, raise your pulse tonight

Weaving warnings, I let it slip

All your secrets under my lip

When the flags are false

And we're both so close

Does your heart keep time for me

Or run its race and flee

Verse 2

Mirror streaks, tracing my face

Hands on your shoulders, vanish, replaced

Maybe you, maybe me

Locked doors, lost key

Silent thunder under my skin

Rain rumbles, comes creeping in

Your eyes, nailed to my doubt

Pulse in your mouth

Chorus

Tell me baby, when the flags are false

Does it raise your pulse, raise your pulse tonight

Weaving warnings, I let it slip

All your secrets under my lip

When the flags are false

And we're both so close

Does your heart keep time for me

Or run its race and flee

Bridge

Over and over, I see the sign

Never the truth, just tangled lines, just tangled lines

Over and over, you pick the lock

Run reckless risk, can't stop, can't stop

Chorus

Tell me baby, when the flags are false

Does it raise your pulse, raise your pulse tonight

Weaving warnings, I let it slip

All your secrets under my lip

When the flags are false

And we're both so close

Does your heart keep time for me

Or run its race and flee

Outro

Slow rain, slow game

Red lights, your name

When the truth dissolves

Still you stay, when the flags are false
