Slipped Your Mind - The Tiger & Me

It started in the morning with a call to all the arms

And it continued through the afternoon

But I will give you everything I have

Everything I’ll ever have

I’m holding out to savour the one thing true

It must’ve slipped my mind

I remember now that I have seen his crooked white grin

Amongst the wealthy and wise

Inside a red room I can still smell her perfume

But I have also seen the hunger in his big black eyes

She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door

Red was the colour of denial but she wanted some more

He was a good man or so they said

They didn’t know the devils that he kept hidden in his head

He could do no wrong

But worse he did she surprised him

It must’ve slipped his mind

The latch on his door, he left it hanging loose

And the noose tightens slowly

She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door

Red was the colour of denial but you wanted some more

So strip out all those faceless truths just

Gimme something I can use

She spent her whole life waiting for the wolf to return to her door

You said that red was the colour of denial, but you wanted some more
