Purple Stain

[Verse 1]

June

It was the end of your second date

Everything was going well

You were walking to the train station

Imagining a parting kiss by the turnstiles

His fingers tracing patterns on your spine

[Chorus 1]

But as you passed beneath a streetlight

He suddenly stopped

A look of horror flashed over his face

He pulled away

And never returned your calls

[Verse 2]

Months later

You remembered something

At the end of a wild night

On the roof of a hotel

You shared a taxi with a man that you didn't know

And would nevеr see again

[Chorus 2]

He had a purple stain on his forehеad

It smelled like beets and vinegar

He'd gotten used to it

He didn't know it was there

He couldn't understand why you leaned away

And pressed yourself against the window
