    Story Behind the Song
    "I See Red" has gone through a number of incarnations since its inception. We tried to create a song which embodied that oh-god-get-me-out-of-here feeling of another one night stand. From the tense verses, exploding choruses, and quirky bridge, "I See Red" adds a little edge to the occassional waking up in the wrong bed.

    Lyrics
    peeling off my blue jeans
    like i was shedding skin
    curious i'm sliding off my shoes
    throwing on your t-shirt
    the one from seventh grade
    i join you face down on the bed
    the one that i have made

    the clock is glowing in the black light
    blue as curls upon your head
    you are dreaming right out loud
    and i see red

    alarm rings like a warning
    i am somewhere near awake
    you're asleep courageously beside me
    your arm so heavy on me
    i am planning my escape
    away from sheets still warm with nights
    spent dodging fate

    the clock is glowing in the black light
    blue as curls upon your head
    you are dreaming right out loud
    and i see red

    i am counting on the second hand
    fifteen minutes, if i can last that long
    i am mapping out exits like a fugitive, a whore
    seven paces to the door
    seven paces to the door
    seven paces
    seven paces...

    the clock is glowing in the black light
    blue as curls upon your head
    you are dreaming right out loud
    and i see red

    both feet on the carpet
    matress rises with relief
    surreptitious, searching for my car keys
    pause inside your bedroom
    for not one second more
    sneak away so quietly
    and then i slam the door

    the clock is glowing in the black light
    blue as curls upon your head
    you are dreaming right out loud
    and i see red

    i see red
    i see red
    you are dreaming right out loud
    and i see red
