[Verse 1]
You’re stirrin’ your drink
I’m stirrin’ up trouble
Laughin’ too loud
Just to hide what I feel
Your knee finds mine
Under sticky brown tables
We both look away
Like it’s no big deal
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“I’m fine
I’m fine”
But you hold that line too long
We only touch in taxis
We only talk in songs
[Chorus]
It’s love
It’s a battlefield
In the back of a downtown bar
We keep crossing that blurry line
Then pretend we never got this far
We’re friends
We’re a fire drill
Always running
Never through
Tell me
What are we
What are we
What are we?
‘Cause I’m half in love with you
[Verse 2]
Monday at work
We’re coffee and small talk
Eyes on the screen
Like last night was a dream
You brush my hand
Passing papers
So casual
My heart says “stay”
Your mouth says “routine”
[Pre-Chorus]
You say
“It’s chill
It’s cool”
But your silence shakes the room
We only kiss in cabs
Then go back to separate moons
[Chorus]
It’s love
It’s a battlefield
In the glow of the neon sign
We keep losing our breath together
Then act like everything’s just fine
We’re jokes
We’re a house on tilt
Waiting for the honest truth
Tell me
What are we
What are we
What are we?
‘Cause I’m half in love with you
[Bridge]
Are we just last calls and late checks?
Are we just “don’t tell our friends”?
Or are we the almost story
That finally starts
Then ends?
If this is just a bad idea
Why does it feel this right?
If you don’t wanna choose me
Why you staying every night? (every night)
[Chorus]
It’s love
It’s a battlefield
And we’re both too scared to lose
We keep drawing these careful lines
Then crossing them after a few
We’re stuck
We’re a maybe still
Balancing on something true
Tell me
What are we
What are we
What are we?
‘Cause I’m all the way in on you (oh)
Tell me
What are we
What are we
What are we…
Or are we already overdue?
