"Black Jacket" lyrics

"Black Jacket"

I remember how it felt we were sitting on the roof
You were in my black jacket drinking up the view
We were Romeo and Juliet smoking lite cigarettes
All night long

Counting yellow cabs we were showing tattoos
On top of the world we had nothing to lose
Falling like snowflakes crashing out at your place
What went wrong

If I see you out tonight
You'll think I'm doing alright
'Cause you can't see
What's underneath this black jacket
Is a broken heart
And I never take it off
'Cause I just can't hang it up
It's too torn apart
This black jacket hides a broken heart

I still use your umbrella when I'm waking in the rain
I can't help but crack a smile every time I hear a train
I never got your music 'til you left and made me use it
Just to keep you 'round, it's a small world town

If I see you out tonight
You'll think I'm doing alright
'Cause you can't see
What's underneath this black jacket
Is a broken heart
I never take it off
'Cause I just can't hang it up
It's too torn apart
This black jacket hides a broken heart

One day I'm gonna take it off
Send it up in my flames
Oh I won't even hear it
When somebody says your name
Nothing left to hide
I won't even hurt
Yeah, I'll be alright in a white t-shirt
But, if I see you out tonight

If I see you out tonight
You'll think I'm doing alright
'Cause you can't see
What's underneath this black jacket
Is a broken heart
I never take it off
'Cause I just can't hang it up
It's too torn apart
This black jacket hides a broken heart
