[Intro]
Room 1403
Curtains half drawn
Silence in the hallway
Ring on, still on
You said you’d stay an hour
Now the moon won’t move
Bible on the nightstand
Between me and you (mmm)
[Verse 1]
Kiss taste like guilt
Lip gloss on your collar
We both broke our vows
For the price of a dollar
You said, “I’m not proud”
I said, “I’m not either”
But you melt my doubts
When your hands go deeper
Family photos
Glow on your cracked phone
You turn it over
Like it’s watching us both
I trace your tattoo
Under Sunday clothes
You whisper “forgive me”
While you pull me close (yeah)
[Chorus]
As we lay
Hearts in a tangle, halos off-center
As we lay
Saints in the daylight, sinners by dinner
Hold me like
Morning ain’t coming to carry you away
Lord, hear me say
I’m still gonna love him
As we lay
[Verse 2]
Trap drums on the clock
Every tick, bass drop
Neighbors on the next wall
Hear the headboard knock
You say “this my last time”
But your hands don’t stop
Talking in tongues
Every kiss we swap (yeah)
You got prayer hands
Tattooed on your ribs
But tonight they on my hips
Not the crib where you live
I’m a choir girl
With a curse on my lips
Every “hallelujah”
Sound like one more fix (ooh)
[Chorus]
As we lay
Hearts in a tangle, halos off-center
As we lay
Saints in the daylight, sinners by dinner
Hold me like
Morning ain’t coming to carry you away
Lord, hear me say
I’m still gonna love him
As we lay
[Bridge – Rap]
Look
I’m tryna make peace with the pieces we broke
Got a ring on my finger and your name in my throat
Two sets of keys, two sets of lies
Two little beds where the babies lie
We call it “mistake” but we still reply
Every late text that we never should write
I be scrolling through verses
Searching for verses
To cover these curses I choose
Got a man at the house
You a wife with a spouse
We both got too much to lose
Yet here we are, skin to skin
Cross round your neck, crossin’ lines again
Say “amen” when you slide right in
Then I pray you make it home by ten
[Chorus]
As we lay
Hearts in a tangle, halos off-center
As we lay
Saints in the daylight, sinners by dinner
Hold me like
Morning ain’t coming to carry you away
Lord, hear me say
I’m still gonna love him
As we lay
[Outro]
Sun up, sheets cold
Uber in the driveway
You fix your blouse slow
Like you ’bout to pray
You say “God forgives”
I say “I hope so”
We straighten our crowns
And walk out the door (yeah)
As we lay
As we lay
One night in this bed
And a lifetime to pay
