[Verse 1]
You clock in late with your coffee cup
I’m already there tryin’ not to stare up
You joke ’bout meetings, I laugh too loud
Two different decades in the same small crowd
You talk promotion, I talk weekend plans
You talk your mortgage, I just joined the band
They’d raise their eyebrows if they knew
How every hallway leads me back to you
[Chorus]
There’s venom in my head
But I wanna be yours
All these warning lights
Still I’m painting our doors
Same break room, same old Monday blues
But I only see you, only want you
Yeah, there’s venom in my head
And it’s spelling your name, it’s pulling me through
[Verse 2]
Out by the treeline where the pavement ends
You taught me quiet, you taught me patience
Blaze orange jacket, hand brushing mine
Boot tracks tangled in the brittle pine
We don’t say “future,” we don’t say “forever”
We say “one more trail,” “one more hunt together”
I watch you sight in, steady and sure
Think, if I had a choice, I’d choose you more
[Chorus]
There’s venom in my head
But I wanna be yours
All these warning lights
Still I’m painting our doors
Same break room, same old Monday blues
But I only see you, only want you
Yeah, there’s venom in my head
And it’s spelling your name, it’s pulling me through
[Bridge]
They call it wrong
They call it strange
They don’t walk these woods
They don’t feel this change
You ask, “Are you sure?”
I say, “I’ve never been more” (oh)
If it’s poison, if it’s cure
I still want your open door
[Chorus]
There’s venom in my head
But I wanna be yours
All these warning lights
Still I’m painting our doors
Same late nights, same old office view
But I only see you, only want you
Yeah, there’s venom in my head
And I’d drink every drop just to walk with you
