about

this song is about video chatting with someone you love during quarantine and also is a Portrait of a Lady on Fire video chat AU.

lyrics

I called her up on the telephone
to ask if she was sick of home
to tell her to pretend that she was
here with me tonight

Those bonfire nights feel like a dream
her eyes the darkened space between
the first day of my life
and this remembered firelight

She's like the way fireworks
come apart in a darkened sky
Within me, far away, a mystery
that I could watch all night

I asked her, how's your family been
and how's it feel to settle in
and how have you been sleeping
have the dreams left you alone?

She said don't ask about this place
just sit so I can see your face
just turn and touch the camera
let me feel you through the phone

She's like the way fireworks
come apart in a darkened sky
Within me, far away, a mystery
that I could watch all night

We sat in silence half an hour
and read. Occasionally our
eyes would meet, I'd think about
her hands, her hair, her mind

On my end there were funny sounds,
the radiator rattling around
and in her room I thought I saw
a photograph of our hands intertwined
a glossy page an idol of hers had signed
some notes that she'd emphatically underlined

She's like the way fireworks
come apart in a darkened sky
Within me, far away, a mystery
that I could watch all night
