[Intro]
Footsteps in the stairwell
Breath fog on the glass
You lock every door you can
I just wait
I just laugh
[Verse 1]
You feel me in the hallway
Shadow under doors
You moved across the country
I’m sleeping on your floor
You change your name on Monday
By Friday
I reply
Every time you turn around
I’m the wrong thing in your eye
[Chorus]
“For now? No
You’re mine forever”
You can hear it in your spine when the room goes cold
“For now? No
You’re mine forever”
Every shortcut
Every safe place
Already sold
You can scream to the sky till your lungs give out
But there’s nowhere left to run or go
“For now? No
You’re mine forever”
You’re the only thing I’ll ever own
[Verse 2]
I’m three cars back
Just humming
Mask grinning on the seat
You speed through yellow warnings
I’m glued to every street
Your friends say
“Change your number”
You sleep with all the lights
I learn your every ritual
I live between your nights
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[crescendo] You pray the crowd will save you
I’m already in the crowd
Face hidden in the plastic
Breath mixed in with the loud
You stumble out the exit
You’re begging for a line
But the dark stays right behind you
Low voice in your mind
[Chorus]
