Your shoes are by the radiator Like somebody staged the scene Half a glass beside the sofa Lipstick printed clean The TV talks in subtitles I don't even know the show But I read into every sentence Like I'm supposed to know You say you're thinking too much again While fixing up your hair Funny how the room gets colder Soon as I get there In the blue light Everybody looks a little dishonest In the blue light Every laugh sounds carefully polished And your friends all lean like they're hiding something Eyes glittering like electric wires In the blue light You make me nervous without even trying Taxi smoke and peppermint gum Outside the convenience store You keep checking your reflection In the microwave door And I keep making conversation Just to hear if your voice shakes Funny how a perfect evening Always feels a little fake You touch my wrist for half a second Like you nearly changed your mind Now every tiny movement's Running laps around mine In the blue light Everybody's teeth look cinematic In the blue light Every silence turns automatic And your shadow moves before you do Like it's arriving seconds prior In the blue light You make me nervous without even trying Outside, the buses hiss Like they know something we don't And your name sits on my tongue Then suddenly it won't In the blue light You looked over like a warning signal In the blue light Nothing ever feels accidental And I walked home through empty streets While the windows glowed like tired eyes In the blue light Everything means more than it should tonight
