[Verse 1]
Coffee’s cold on the counter
You smile like you’re half-asleep
We talk about bills and weather
Never about what we dream
I know every crack in this bedroom
Every silence
Every sigh
Safe as a house in a bad storm
Still I’m starving inside
[Pre-Chorus]
Then she laughed in that crowded bar
Said my name like it meant something
Now I’m driving home in circles
Fighting every question
[Chorus]
I’m torn between two endings
Heart on fire
Hands on the wheel
One road burning
One road bending
Which one of these lives is real?
Do I stay where nothing’s breaking
Or run to where everything shakes me?
I’m torn between two endings
And either way
I lose a piece of me
[Verse 2]
With you it’s calendars
Planning
Same restaurant every year
We kiss like we’re punching a timecard
Clocking in
Then we disappear
With her it’s late-night confessions
Laughing on the kitchen floor
She looks at me like a question
Like I could still be something more
[Pre-Chorus]
I promised you I’d be steady
Built a future out of plans
But my pulse is in the doorway
Where her shadow hits my hands
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
If I choose the fire
Do I burn us all down?
If I choose the quiet
Do I ever make a sound?
Head says comfort
Heart says “jump”
I’m stuck in the middle of the thump
Thump
Thump
[Chorus]
