Dial tone

Verse 1

I’m stitching up my mouth with the words I never said

You’re a late-night voicemail I keep playing in my head

We were fireworks in parking lots, July with nowhere to go

Now every streetlight whispers things I already know

Pre-Chorus

I’m the king of almost calling you

At 2:17, stuck in between the truth

And the lie I tell myself

That I’m better off without you

Chorus

So let’s crash this town like a cymbal hit too hard

I’m the punchline in your story, you’re the spark in my scarred heart

If this is growing up, then I want my money back

I’m screaming your name in the rearview glass

Yeah, I’m screaming your name in the rearview glass

Verse 2

Your laugh still lives in the echo of my shoes

I chase it down the sidewalks, every night I lose

We’re Polaroids in motion, shaking just to see

If the picture clears enough to look like you and me

Pre-Chorus

I’m the hero in a song I won’t outgrow

But every verse just circles what I already know

I’d set myself on fire

Just to watch you feel the glow

Chorus

So let’s crash this town like a cymbal hit too hard

I’m the punchline in your story, you’re the spark in my scarred heart

If this is growing up, then I want my money back

I’m screaming your name in the rearview glass

Bridge

I’ve got a violin crying where my heartbeat used to be

Every bow strike sounds like you leaving me

If timing’s everything, then we were doomed from the start

Two kids with loaded dreams and unloaded hearts

Breakdown

Say you hate me, say you’re done

Say it’s over, say you won

Say my name like it still hurts

Say it first

Final Chorus

Let’s crash this town, let it hear us fall apart

I’m a ghost in your hallway, you’re the echo in my heart

If this is growing up, then I’m still off track

Still screaming your name in the rearview glass

Outro

I’ll keep driving till the morning breaks

Past the point of my mistakes

If I’m moving on, it’s just an act

I’m still looking back
