Teeth In The Apple

You said

"One time

Who’s gonna know?"

Keys on the counter

Shadows on the floor

I laughed too loud

Tried to play it small

But your hand on my jacket

Pulled down the wall

We crossed that line

Like it was chalk in the rain

Then we just stared

Like

What did we break?

What if you did but you shouldn’t have?

Teeth in the apple

Can't spit it back

Kiss on a mouth that you can’t unsay

Now every quiet room

Knows my name

What if you did but you shouldn’t have?

Door cracked open

Can’t unsee that

You can burn the note

But the words still stay

I did

I did

And I shouldn’t have

Phone face down

You said

"It’s late"

Lied to the cab

About where you stay

Pulled the blinds

Like they were crime-scene tape

Both of us actors

For a scene we hate

You drew that heart

With shaky hands in the steam

We watched it drip

Like it was telling on me

What if you did but you shouldn’t have?

Teeth in the apple

Can't spit it back

Kiss on a mouth that you can’t unsay

Now every quiet room

Knows my name

What if you did but you shouldn’t have?

Door cracked open

Can’t unsee that

You can burn the note

But the words still stay

I did

I did

And I shouldn’t have

I still see your smile

In the bathroom light

Hear you say

"Relax

We’ll be alright"

But right is a house

We can’t go back to

And wrong is a room

That smells like you

What if you did but you shouldn’t have?

Teeth in the apple

Can't spit it back

Kiss on a mouth that you can’t unsay

Now every quiet room

Knows my name

What if you did but you shouldn’t have?

Door cracked open

Can’t unsee that

You can burn the note

But the words still stay

I did

I did

And I shouldn’t have
