[Verse 1]
Met you in a paperback tragedy
Dog-eared scenes on the bedroom floor
Kissed you in a kitchen that felt like TV
Then the credits crawled into next door
Family photos on the tilted mantle
Last names tangled in the same frame
You're laughing at the line we can't handle
I keep saying your almost-name
[Chorus]
We’re a melodramatic dumpster fire
Burning through the living room wires
Forbidden love at the family table
Pass the salt
Lie when we’re able
Call it wrong
Call it coming-of-age
Same heartbreak
Just a tighter cage
Raise a glass to the beautiful wreck we are
Domestic girlfriend
Problem child star
[Verse 2]
Sunday socks on the hallway staircase
Your toothbrush blinked beside mine
Adult bills stacked
But we’re stuck in chase
Cash poor
Rich in bad timing
You call me “grown-up” with your hands still shaking
I call you “roommate” like a cheap disguise
Two bedrooms down
Thin walls breaking
Every safe word sounds like goodbye
[Chorus]
We’re a melodramatic dumpster fire
Burning through the living room wires
Forbidden love at the family table
Pass the salt
Lie when we’re able
Call it wrong
Call it coming-of-age
Same heartbreak
Just a tighter cage
Raise a glass to the beautiful wreck we are
Domestic girlfriend
Problem child star
[Bridge]
Are we siblings
Strangers
Lovers?
Pick a label
Change it back
Every role we try on smothers
Every truth we choke turns black
You ask
“Is this real or just survival?”
I shrug
“It’s both
It’s worse
It’s art”
We’re the cliff-hanger revival
Of a show that eats its own heart
[Chorus]
We’re a melodramatic dumpster fire
Burning through the living room wires
Forbidden love at the family table
Pass the salt
Lie when we’re able
Call it wrong
Call it coming-of-age
Same heartbreak
Just a tighter cage
Raise a glass to the beautiful wreck we are
Domestic girlfriend
Problem child star
[Outro]
Fade to black in a split-screen silence
Roll the credits on our mess
If growing up is just slow violence
Guess we passed the final test
