"Blood Red" lyrics

Drive upstate for the changing of the leaves
And I asked you which color would you be
You said blood red and asked me what I'd choose
I said dead brown because long ago I fell for you

Hold me close like the darkness before the light
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I

Sometimes I don't know who to be
But you see more than what I lead them to believe
Your dress, blood red, reminds me of that drive
Will your color change or will you always be mine?

So, hold me close like the darkness before the light
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I

Like a tide pulls an anchor at a ship in the bay
If I hold on too tightly, I'll push you away
But I've never been this far under the weight
Of something I can't escape

So, hold me close like the darkness before the light
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I, not tonight
Hold me close like the darkness before the light
Holy ghosts haunt the hallways inside my mind
I can't cope thinking one day you'll say goodbye, I
You'll say goodbye, you'll say goodbye
But not tonight
