[Verse 1]
Met you on that old brick road
Laughing in your sister’s coat
Said you stole it
“she’ll survive”
Caught that trouble in your eyes
Mystic Falls in late July
Cherry coke and fireflies
You were just my girl’s best friend
I was gone by 9:10
[Pre-Chorus]
How did we end up here
Lines all tangled
Far from clear
You lean closer
Say my name
Now nothing feels the same
[Chorus]
Mystic Falls beauty
You ruin me
You’re the plot twist I can’t unsee
You’re her best friend’s sister
Off-limits
Forbidden
But every wrong feeling’s so perfectly written
Mystic Falls beauty
You pull me in
Every “we can’t” turns into “when”
I’m tryna be loyal
I’m tryna be honest
But you look at me and burn right through my promise
[Verse 2]
Bonfire glow on pale skin
You spin circles
I give in
Leather jacket
Vampire grin
You’re the chaos I’m stuck in
She’s inside
You’re out here
You say
“Tell me what you fear”
I say “losing what I’ve got”
You say
“Or maybe you do not”
[Pre-Chorus]
How did we end up here
Heartbeats louder than the cheer
You move closer
Brush my hand
All my good intentions crash-land
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
You say
“We can blame this town”
Like it cursed us
Wrote us down
Two wrong hearts in the same slow dance
Both pretending we don’t stand a chance
[whispered vocals]
If this is wrong
Why’s it feel like fate
Why’s every rule show up too late?
[Chorus]
