Top Hats and Airports by Backdrop Violet Lyrics
[Intro]
So let me tell you all of my secrets
The story hurts but it's the truth
[Verse: Blake Melanson]
Wait my dear, please set my closure
Set my closure
Sometimes I drift away and daydream of seeing you again
And how do the lights shine in Monahans?
I bet they shimmer and glow in the night
I look above to my city sky
A Houston street lamp twilight
[Pre-Chorus: Blake Melanson]
And I will hold you through it all
And I'll make sure you never fall
[Chorus: Blake Melanson]
So let me tell you all my secrets
I'll open like a book for you
But don't go burning all the pages
The story hurts but it's the truth
[Verse: Blake Melanson]
Wait, lie to me and read from a cliche script
"It's you, not me," correct?
And just my luck
I know that I will fade
And through my days I know the price that I'll pay
[Verse: Eric Doerflinger]
You may not notice the faint reflection
From the broken mirror
And the empty frame that you left me in
Standing here now in kaleidoscope glass
Can you see how I feel?
[Pre-Chorus: Blake Melanson]
And I will hold you through it all
And I'll make sure you never fall
[Chorus: Blake Melanson]
So let me tell you all of my secrets
I'll open like a book for you
But don't go burning all the pages
The story hurts but it's the truth
[Outro]
And how do the lights shine in Monahans?
You said they glow like gold in the night
You said they shimmer
You said a lot of things
So let me tell you all of my secrets
The story hurts but it's the truth
[Verse: Blake Melanson]
Wait my dear, please set my closure
Set my closure
Sometimes I drift away and daydream of seeing you again
And how do the lights shine in Monahans?
I bet they shimmer and glow in the night
I look above to my city sky
A Houston street lamp twilight
[Pre-Chorus: Blake Melanson]
And I will hold you through it all
And I'll make sure you never fall
[Chorus: Blake Melanson]
So let me tell you all my secrets
I'll open like a book for you
But don't go burning all the pages
The story hurts but it's the truth
[Verse: Blake Melanson]
Wait, lie to me and read from a cliche script
"It's you, not me," correct?
And just my luck
I know that I will fade
And through my days I know the price that I'll pay
[Verse: Eric Doerflinger]
You may not notice the faint reflection
From the broken mirror
And the empty frame that you left me in
Standing here now in kaleidoscope glass
Can you see how I feel?
[Pre-Chorus: Blake Melanson]
And I will hold you through it all
And I'll make sure you never fall
[Chorus: Blake Melanson]
So let me tell you all of my secrets
I'll open like a book for you
But don't go burning all the pages
The story hurts but it's the truth
[Outro]
And how do the lights shine in Monahans?
You said they glow like gold in the night
You said they shimmer
You said a lot of things
