OverTime

I was running on empty, trying to fix a broken roomWhen you caught me by surprise, clearing out the gloomThere was a current in the air, a sudden, heavy sparkLike static electricity cutting through the darkWe spent half the summer laughing, chasing neon lightsBuilding up a language in the middle of the nightsI didn't plan on falling, didn't plan on how it feltTo find a sudden shelter in the cards that we were dealt.

But you pull me close, then you trace a lineSaying we can only ever exist in a moment in timeYeah, we hit the heights, then you hit the brakesLeaving me to wonder about the choices that we makeNow you call it friendship, keep it safe and coolWhile I’m still standing here, playing by your rules.But you’re the only place I ever feel aliveWhy do we build a sanctuary just to survive?

Six months of history, six months of everydayI wove myself into your world, found a place to staySitting with the people that you choose to keep aroundWinning over every heart on your familiar groundThey see right through the surface, they know that I can stayWe don't have to force a single word we want to sayIt’s a natural rhythm now, a steady, quiet flowBut I’m still searching for the things you never show.

'Cause you pull me close, then you trace a lineSaying we can only ever exist in a moment in timeYeah, we hit the heights, then you hit the brakesLeaving me to wonder about the choices that we makeNow you call it friendship, keep it safe and coolWhile I’m still standing here, playing by your rules.But you’re the only place I ever feel aliveWhy do we build a sanctuary just to survive?

Is it panic in your chest when I get too close?Do you hide behind a joke because you fear the ghost?I know you feel secure when I am by your sideSo tell me what you're protecting when you run and hide.

Six months of talking every single day.A beautiful routine we couldn't push away.I'm not forcing anything anymore...So are you gonna step across the line? Or keep score?
