Redcoats

every time i reach into my pocket
i find your number on a pack of matches
i can't expect you to understand

i used to keep your picture in my locket
while at my border all your troops lined up for action
now i just want someone to hold my hand
you could have warned me, you could've said

here come the redcoats, with their
coats of red, all alone, all alone
they're probably not, probably not,
that woulda been good
then you said that one thing,
that thing you said, that i forgot,
i forgot, i forgot,
it's kinda odd, kinda odd,
that woulda been

we were created in a crumbling lab
by a maker with a shaky hand
and a penchant for true love
if you think about that, it makes sense

here come the redcoats, with their
coats of red, all alone, all alone
they're probably not, probably not,
that woulda been good
then you said that one thing,
that thing you said, that i forgot,
i forgot, i forgot,
it's kinda odd, kinda odd,
that woulda been good

oh baby
i wanna take you home but i cant
cuz i'm homeless
oh honey
im holding onto hope but its hard
cuz i'm hopeless

here come the redcoats, with their
coats of red, all alone, all alone
they're probably not, probably not,
that woulda been good
then you said that one thing,
that thing you said, that i forgot,
i forgot, i forgot,
it's kinda odd, kinda odd,
yeah

well i guess that i could fall for you
cuz i fall for all sorts of bad jokes.
