[Verse 1 – Female]
Door clicks
You lean on the frame
Just watching
Laugh hits
Too loud for a room this crowded
You say my name like we’ve said it a hundred times
Finger on my wrist
Counting out my pulse in silent rhymes
[Verse 2 – Male]
Lip gloss
Shining like a warning label
Chess game
Both of us are flipping tables
You trace a circle on the rim of your drink
Slow
Eyes say "take me home"
Mouth says "I should probably go"
[Pre-Chorus – Both]
We’re strangers on the edge of something
Shadows slipping past the line
Every reason says we shouldn’t
But your body answers mine
[Chorus – Both]
I know we shouldn’t
But I want to
Every little look drags me onto you
Hands off limits
But they slide anyway
We just met tonight
But I might stay
I know we shouldn’t
But I want to
Caught between the rules and the wrong we do
Baby
Say “stop”
But don’t pull away
We know we shouldn’t
Still we want to
Want to
[Verse 3 – Female + Male]
[Female] You say
You don’t usually move this reckless
[Male] I laugh
Say I never used to feel this helpless
[Female] Your breath on my neck
Saying "this is such a bad idea"
[Male] My hand on your hip
Pull you just a little nearer
[Pre-Chorus – Male then Female]
[Male] Your perfume all over my judgment
Every step is slipping down
[Female] Every reason screams it’s nothing
But it’s louder when you’re around
[Chorus]
[Bridge – Both]
[whispered vocals]
Lock the door
Kill the lights
Leave our better selves outside
If we cross that final line
Who are we when it’s daylight?
[low vocal register – Male]
Say “this is the last time” before it starts
[breathy high – Female]
But I’m already unzipping my guard
[crescendo]
[Chorus]
