Flamingos Lyrics

I'm taking the red eye
Over the dateline
A sea of slow walkers
All taking their sweet time

You're on the phone with your brother
Sitting in the bay window
Taxis idling outside
Like pink lawn flamingos

You're planning a party
To bring in the New Year
To clean out the cobwebs
Convince me to move here

Losers remember the people who won
Winners are never afraid to lose
You only think about falling in love
I only think about you

You lived for a summer
In the Silvia Hotel
Chasing paper airplanes
Down the stairwell

Your world was collapsing
You couldn't have stopped it
Your jokes became armor
Your pain became gossip

You were like a coyote
Stuck in a diorama
Born with a silver spoon
And golden handcuffs

Losers remember the people who won
Winners are never afraid to lose
You only think about falling in love
I only think about you

I can be irritating
Quiet and moody
I feel like an orphan
That's all there is to me

Watch you cradle a watermelon
Under your sweatshirt
You had a bad mom
I bet you'll be better

Losers remember the people who won
Winners are never afraid to lose
You only think about falling in love
I only think about you
I only think about you
