Jacketlining

Jacketlining Lyrics

Verse 1:
As the engine rumbles off
I breathe into my cupped palms for warmth
Then dial from memory the numbers to your house phone
I'm in front of your home

And my favorite song is on
Playing loudly through the speakers in my car
But I set them low, just to hear the moan
Of your front door

And I wave out to you
And you smile at me like I'm bringing you good news
And we meet at the middle of your street
Teeth chattering... and smoke when we breathe
Chorus:
And I know
If there's anything that fights the cold
It won't be the clothes that I'm wearing tonight
Or my jacket lining
And no
I don't think that it's wrong to hope
The one that I hold
Feels the same way about me
Tonight

Verse 2:
The smell of shampoo and body spray
And my arms like wires 'round your waist relay
By squeeze release a code that means to say
That I don't do this type of thing on my everyday

And I pull you in close
And you find rest in a pillow of my collarbone
And my thumbs loop your belt hoops
And we leave no room
For air to escape through

Chorus:
And I know
If there's anything that fights the cold
It won't be the clothes that I'm wearing tonight
Or my jacket lining
And no
I don't think that it's wrong to hope
The one that I hold
Feels the same way about me
Tonight
