lyrics

There's a coral scarf on your coat hook.
My grey one used to hang just there.
I clocked it with one polite look
and wore my winter down the stair.

Your flat still smells of bergamot.
Some things stay after some things rot.

You look warm. You look warm.
You look warm and I'm the frost on the glass.
You look warm. You look warm.
I hope the feeling doesn't last.

Her shampoo's in your shower rack.
Sweet peaches. I want my grey scarf back.
I fuck like I forgot your name.
I haven't. That's the private shame.

You look warm. You look warm.
You look warm and I'm the frost on the glass.
You look warm. You look warm.
I hope the feeling doesn't last.

If she gets cold, you'll give your coat.
You gave me weather and a note.

You look warm. You look warm.
You look warm and I'm the frost on the glass.
You look warm. You look warm.
I hope the feeling doesn't last.

(whispered) You look warm.
I'm still outside.
