[Verse 1]
You laugh
I freeze
Bite my tongue till it bleeds
Every glance
Running straight through my veins
You talk like
We’re only ever friends
I nod
Pretend
But it’s burning again
[Pre-Chorus]
If I reach for your hand
Do we lose what we’ve saved
All these almost-words
Crowding under my face
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden
Sweetest ache
The line I’m scared
I want to break
What if we’re right at the wrong time
What if you were almost mine
In another life
We’d share a name
Here
I just swallow it
Call it fate
Every beat
Every vein
Spells your name
Your name
[Verse 2]
You say his name
Like it’s part of your own
I smile small
Stare too long at my phone
I drive home
With the radio loud
Anything
To drown you out
[Pre-Chorus]
If I said what I see
Us at thirty and safe
Would you laugh in my face
Or pull me into your space
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden
Sweetest ache
The line I’m scared
I want to break
What if we’re right at the wrong time
What if you were almost mine
In another life
We’d share a bed
Here
I just rerun it in my head
Every beat
Every vein
Spells your name
Your name
[Bridge]
Another life
You turn to me first (oh)
Another life
You’d wear my shirt
Another life
This wouldn’t hurt
Like it does
Like it does
[Chorus]
You’re my forbidden
Sweetest ache
The vow that I was too late to take
What if we’re right at the wrong time
What if you were always mine
In another life
We’d say it plain
Here
I just hold it inside my chest
Every beat
Every vein
Spells your name
(Your name, your name)
