Morning Evidence

V6

[INTRO] Okay That explains the champagne Doesn't explain the ring [VERSE 1] Phone at three percent Head at maybe two One shoe by the minibar No idea whose Reed's already reading paperwork Like he's preparing for a trial I'm scrolling backward through the photos Trying not to laugh at his denial There's a receipt from two fourteen For six drinks nobody needs A charge I don't recognize And three matching rings in white gold Then I find a picture All three of us dressed up Standing underneath a chapel sign Well That's new information [PRE-CHORUS] Every answer leaves another question Every timestamp makes it worse We were apparently committed To making bad ideas work [CHORUS] Morning evidence Lined up across the bed Receipts, rings, photographs And things we probably said Morning evidence Piece it together if we can Every clue should clear it up Instead it wrecks the plan There's a chapel envelope Your lipstick on a glass Reed looks ready to interrogate The entire Vegas staff Morning evidence And somehow here's the worst part yet I don't remember everything But I don't think I regret it [VERSE 2] Camera roll gets interesting Somewhere around two thirty-five You're wearing Reed's jacket I'm surprised we're all alive There's a blurry elevator picture Half my face, your crooked grin Then somebody photographed the carpet Why? We'll never know again Next one has an Elvis Apparently officiating Reed is staring at the screen now Like the universe is personally irritating I zoom in on the certificate Signatures look inconveniently real Three names One date County seal That's difficult to misinterpret [PRE-CHORUS] Every answer leaves another question Every photo adds a crime Not an actual crime, technically Reed, relax Probably fine [CHORUS] Morning evidence Lined up across the bed Receipts, rings, photographs And things we probably said Morning evidence Piece it together if we can Every clue should clear it up Instead it wrecks the plan There's a chapel envelope Your shoe under a chair Twenty-seven unread messages And confetti in my hair Morning evidence And somehow here's the worst part yet I don't remember everything But I don't think I regret it [POST-CHORUS] Ring Receipt Photo Charge One more clue How hard could it be? Ring Receipt Photo Wait Why are there matching keys? [VERSE 3] Reed has made a timeline Of course Reed made a timeline Times and places, names and charges Everything in a straight line I point out there's a gap at three He says, "I can fucking see that" I hand him coffee from the counter He does not appreciate the feedback You find another photograph The three of us outside somewhere You're laughing into my shoulder Reed has his hand around your waist Nobody looks dragged into anything Nobody looks like they want out Which would be very reassuring If we knew what came about [PRE-CHORUS] Maybe we'll reconstruct the whole thing Maybe memory catches up But there's one fact the paperwork Has made annoyingly enough [BRIDGE] We went out for one drink Apparently lied Found another bar Apparently five Lost track of midnight Lost track of sense Found a chapel That escalated Then signed our names Put on the rings Took enough photos to prove everything And somewhere in the middle of all that mess We look Happy That's inconvenient [FINAL CHORUS] Morning evidence Spread out across the room Receipts, rings, photographs And half a night removed Morning evidence Piece it together if we can Every clue should clear it up Instead it changes the plan There's a chapel envelope Three rings catching light Reed's still checking every number Like one might change if he looks twice Morning evidence And yeah, here's the problem I can't fix I don't remember everything But I remember liking this [OUTRO] One shoe Three rings Dead phone Bad head Reed's still reading You start laughing Yeah Could've gone worse
