Under Your Window

Seen you walking out the corner store

Name tag hanging, keys on a string

I was two cars back in the parking lot

Watching every small little thing

You laughed too long at the cashier

Wrote his number on your hand in pen

I went home, wrote your handle on the wall

Scribbled it again and again (again)

I know the route that you take at night

Trash can, dog bark, porch light hum

Your lock sticks twice on the second turn

I mouth your code with my tongue

If I can't have you, no one will

That’s the promise, that’s the thrill

You don't even know I’m in your life

Under your window, holding a knife

Love so deep it’s hard to breathe

Carved your initials into my sleeve

If I can't have you, swear I will

Turn this crush into a kill (yeah)

Your page lit up at 2:14

"Out with friends" and a blurry shot

I zoomed in on every face I saw

Picked the one I hated a lot

Tracked his plates through the neighborhood

Found his mother's house on a map

Sat outside till the sprinklers hit

Wrote your name on his welcome mat

You posted "somebody say hi"

Typed a thousand drafts, never sent

Rather live in the shadow of your phone

Than hear you say what you meant

If I can't have you, no one will

That’s the promise, that’s the thrill

You don't even know I’m in your life

Under your window, holding a knife

Love so deep it’s hard to breathe

Carved your initials into my sleeve

If I can't have you, swear I will

Turn this crush into a kill (turn it to a kill)

I got your schedule, passwords, past

Every secret that you ever trashed

Every ex, every text unsent

Every place every Sunday you went

You call it fear, I call it fate (yeah)

Two lungs sharing the same airspace

You lock your door, I lock my jaw

Till I taste your final breath and pause

If I can't have you, no one will

That’s the promise, that’s the thrill

You don't even know I’m in your life

Under your window, holding a knife

Love so deep it’s hard to breathe

Carved your initials into my sleeve

If I can't have you, swear I will

Turn this crush into a kill (into a kill)
