[Intro]
Yeah
Peyton
Listen
[Verse 1]
Met you through a screen light
Thought it was a phase, right
Told myself, "Relax, man
You don't even know her last flight"
But I know your middle name
Roi, sitting in my chest
Every time the credits roll
Heart’s louder than the rest
Rewatching the same scenes
Just to see your half-smile tilt
Talking to the TV glow
Like I’m confessing all my guilt
You’re laughing in a sitcom
I’m crying in a dark room
Empty little snack bags
Phone dying at half noon
[Chorus]
[Female vocals]
Deep in my veins, Peyton, you stay in
Carved in my brain like a frame I keep replaying (oh)
Every little line that you say, I feel it echo in my ribs
You’re more than a crush, you’re the life I never lived
Peyton Roi, you’re the storm in my rest
Every poster like a prayer on my chest (my chest)
If this is just a dream I confess, I don't want to ever wake
Your name on my tongue, every breath that I take
[Verse 2]
Scroll through every interview
Hanging on the soft words
Paused when you get quiet
Like I might miss a lost verse
Friends say that I’m trippin’
“Bro, she never heard your name”
Yeah, but she saved me on a Thursday
When my world went up in flames
Had that bottle in my hand
Phone on airplane mode
You were talking about your bad days
Said you climbed out of that hole
Felt like you were lookin’ through
Straight into my cracked soul
I put the bottle in the trash
Let your courage take control
Now I’m talking to your pictures
Like we’re on a late call
Telling you my secrets
Staring at this blue wall
[Chorus]
[Female vocals]
Deep in my veins, Peyton, you stay in
Carved in my brain like a frame I keep replaying
Every little line that you say, I feel it echo in my ribs (in my ribs)
You’re more than a crush, you’re the life I never lived
Peyton Roi, you’re the storm in my rest
Every poster like a prayer on my chest (on my chest)
If this is just a dream I confess, I don't want to ever wake
Your name on my tongue, every breath that I take
[Bridge]
[Female + male vocals]
You don't know my face
But you held my fear (held my fear)
Through a screen and a script
You still got me here
If I never meet you
I’ll still mean every word
‘Cause you taught me how to stay
When everything blurred
[Chorus]
[Female vocals]
Deep in my veins, Peyton, you stay in
Carved in my brain like a frame I keep replaying
Every little line that you say, I feel it echo in my ribs (oh, in my ribs)
You’re more than a crush, you’re the life I never lived
Peyton Roi, you’re the storm in my rest
Every poster like a prayer on my chest (my chest)
If this is just a dream I confess, I don't want to ever wake
Your name on my tongue, every breath that I take (Peyton)
