HOW TO FIX US
[Verse 1]
You asked me what I wanted to eat, I said I don’t mind
you smiled like that was enough and we kept moving on
nothing felt out of place, nothing felt wrong between us
so I didn’t think too hard, I let it stay simple
[Pre-Chorus]
but I noticed the space between the things you were saying
a little longer than it used to feel before this
not enough to call it something I could explain out loud
just enough that I started feeling it under everything
[Chorus]
I know something is wrong and I want to fix it
I don’t know what it is, but I feel it shifting
I keep trying to reach you like I used to before
but it never feels the same anymore
I know something is wrong and I want to fix it
if I’m honest I don’t even know what I’m fixing
we’re still in the same room, acting like it’s fine
but I can feel the distance every time
[Verse 2]
you checked your phone while I was still talking to you
I waited a second before I said anything back
you looked up like nothing changed, like it was normal
so I acted like I wasn’t counting the space between us
we talked about small things like work and nothing serious
you laughed at something I said, I laughed right after you
and everything looked fine from the outside looking in
but I started hearing the timing more than the words
[Pre-Chorus]
I started slowing down the way I speak around you
giving more space between what I say and what comes next
like maybe I’m the part that’s out of sync with this now
like I’m supposed to meet you somewhere quieter
[Chorus]
I know something is wrong and I want to fix it
I keep reaching for a version that feels like us
I change the way I move just to see if it helps
but nothing tells me I’m getting closer to it
I know something is wrong and I want to fix it
even if I don’t know if you feel it too
we’re still talking like nothing has changed
but I can feel the distance in everything we do
[Bridge]
there was a moment you didn’t answer right away
and I filled it too fast like I used to do before
but it didn’t feel right when I tried to smooth it over
like I was fixing something I couldn’t see anymore
and I don’t know if I made it worse or made it real
but now I notice it even when nothing is happening
like I’m adjusting around something I can’t explain
and hoping I’m not the only one feeling it shift
[Final Chorus]
I know something is wrong and I want to fix it
but I don’t know what part of us is breaking yet
I keep trying to reach you in the same old ways
but it never lands like it used to before
I know something is wrong and I want to fix it
even if I’m the only one holding on to that
we’re still here, we’re still talking, we’re still the same
but I can feel what I can’t turn back into us
[Outro]
I know something is wrong
and I want to fix it
but I don’t know how
