Plum Lyrics by Roy Blair
There’s an orange telephone
In the basement by the stairs
There’s a spaceship hanging low
Over the thin air that we share
What pulls you closer to me
If you can feel me suffering?
And why can’t you see through me
If all I give is reluctance?
What pulls you closer to me
If you can feel me suffering?
And why can’t you see through me
If all I give is reluctance?
You’re plum colored
You’re plum colored
You’re plum colored
You could kiss the world
If you let your love go on
Offline I can hear the landlines hum
Offline I can hear the landlines hum
Shadows of every word we’ve thought
Silence watching us turning every corner
Wait around for some ending to come
And make this easier
Yelling out of your doorway
Staying out all night long
Cigarettes in a storm drain
Haven’t felt like me in a real long time
Coming down on my way over
What you won’t say, I already know
Can’t turn back now that we’re down that road
Elevator going up, my heart is beating, yeah
What pulls you closer to me
If you can feel me suffering?
And why can’t you see through me
If all I give is reluctance?
You light your candles outside in the wind
You put mascara on just to let it run
I bit my fingernails down to the skin
But did you ever even notice something was wrong?
‘Cause something was wrong, oh, yeah-yeah
You’re plum colored
You’re plum colored
You’re plum colored
You could kiss the world
If you let your love go on
There’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let go of
There’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let go of
There’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let go of
There’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let go of
There’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let go of
There’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let go of
That’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let you come by
That’s a corner of my heart I won’t ever let you step on
