[Verse 1]
Sidewalk coffee
Hands in sleeves
You say
“We’re better
When we keep it easy”
Laugh at nothing
Stare too long
Change the subject
When it feels too strong
[Pre-Chorus]
Every joke hits a little too close
Every touch hangs longer than it’s supposed
[Chorus]
“If it happens
It happens”
That’s the line we keep dragging around
Like chewing on glass
But we still won’t spit it out
Call it timing
Call it bad habits
We’re spinning on a knife and we just let it balance
We talk like friends
And we burn like magnets
“If it happens
It happens”
[Verse 2]
You say you’re tired
Of almost things
Late-night rides
And borrowed feelings
Your head on my shoulder
At the red light glow
You say
“This ain’t love”
Then you don’t let go
[Pre-Chorus]
Every plan sounds just like a dare
Every “see you soon” feels like a prayer
[Chorus]
“If it happens
It happens”
That’s the lie that we live to defend
Blaming the stars
’cause we’re scared to say “this is the end”
Call it timing
Call it bad habits
We’re choking on the words but we laugh and mask it
We talk like friends
And we shake like addicts
“If it happens
It happens”
[Bridge]
Maybe we’re cowards
Maybe we’re kind
Saving each other
From crossing the line
Or maybe we’re already
On the wrong side
Too late to run
Too numb to decide (hey!)
[Chorus]
“If it happens
It happens”
You repeat with your eyes on the floor
But the way that you’re shaking
Says you want a little more
Call it timing
Call it bad habits
But I don’t wanna wait for a car crash magic
So I say your name
And the truth comes crashing
If it happens
It happens
—or we make it happen
