Parenthetical Girls - Keyholes & Curtains lyrics
[Parenthetical Girls - Keyholes & Curtains lyrics]
As long as we keep dancing, darling
And the words I say
Still mean absolutely nothing
You’ll keep yours with him
And I’ll keep mine hidden safe as houses
Behind keyholes and curtains
Lock the door behind you, darling
And box away those awful feelings
A new entry in your strained litany
Of things that make you hate your body
So save your breath dear you don’t have to
Because your weighted inflections
Speak volumes
And your cranberry cheeks betray you
So just keep yours with him
And I’ll keep mine hidden
Two strangers bound by nothing certain
Hidden, safe as houses behind
Keyholes and curtains
And the words I say
Still mean absolutely nothing
You’ll keep yours with him
And I’ll keep mine hidden safe as houses
Behind keyholes and curtains
Lock the door behind you, darling
And box away those awful feelings
A new entry in your strained litany
Of things that make you hate your body
So save your breath dear you don’t have to
Because your weighted inflections
Speak volumes
And your cranberry cheeks betray you
So just keep yours with him
And I’ll keep mine hidden
Two strangers bound by nothing certain
Hidden, safe as houses behind
Keyholes and curtains
