(Verse 1)
Streetlights bleed on the window pane
The city's hum is just white noise, a steady rain
In that one picture you showed me, still the same
A thousand secrets hiding in your frame
I see the fake curve, a perfect line
That laugh of yours, a cheap and broken sign
It tells the world you're doing fine
A masterpiece, but it's not truly yours, or mine
(Chorus)
And the way your brown short hair
With those purple frosted tips, I swear
I see a ghost behind your eyes, mi vida
A beautiful, perfect disguise, te juro
It's not my place, I know the drill, lo sé
You built that wall, and you're standing still
But I just can't shake this feeling, this force
Like I'm a dead end that's off its course
(Verse 2)
You've got that look, a kind of broken grace
Like no one's ever filled that goddamn space
A fortress built around your heart, corazón
You play the part right from the fucking start
Acting like you don't need a single soul
Especially not him, to make you whole
I get it, I'm just a loser passing by
A stranger watching from a cold blue sky
(Chorus)
And the way your brown short hair
With those purple frosted tips, I swear
I see a ghost behind your eyes, mi vida
A beautiful, perfect disguise, te juro
It's not my place, I know the drill, lo sé
You built that wall, and you're standing still
But I just can't shake this feeling, this force
Like I'm a dead end that's off its course
(Bridge)
And don't get me wrong, I'm confused myself
Why anyone would walk away from what's on the shelf
Those nice ass boobies, on full display
I just can't understand the games they play
It's not my place, I know the drill, lo sé
You built that wall, and you're standing still
But I just can't shake this feeling, this force
Like I'm a dead end that's off its course
(New Verse)
I hope we can touch, give you those besos you deserve, chiquita
A rub down like you already know what to do
And I can't wait until we get to hug at least
Despite the fact that none of this is true
'Cause that first time, la primera vez, it seems, will never happen
Lost in this sea of empty hopes
I'm caught between lo que quiero and this sad realidad
(Outro)
That perfect, perfect smile
The way you laugh... for a little while
I know you're doing well, I swear
But what's the story hiding there?
I'm just a feeling, a pathetic dare
Lost in the puzzle of your stare.
