Make it true

Verse 1]
Water running down the glass
Your hands pulling me in
Steam rising off the mirror
Blurring where we’ve been
You said nothing, neither did I
Just skin and breath and heat
Like we were trying to outrun
Something underneath

[Chorus]
You held me like you meant it
Like I was the only one
Like love was something simple
Like it had somewhere to run
But it was just the body talking
Just the night coming through
Your body said something
But you couldn’t make it true


[Verse 2]
Back against the tiled wall
Your mouth against my skin
There was something in the silence
We didn’t let begin
You were close enough to touch me
And farther than I knew
Like lightning in the distance
Gone before it broke through

[Chorus]
You held me like you meant it
Like I was the only one
Like love was something simple
Like it had somewhere to run
Your body said something
But you couldn’t make it true
I still feel it 
Long after you

[Bridge]
I remember being younger
Standing barefoot in the storm
Counting seconds in the silence
Waiting for it to form
That same charge was in the room
But it never made a sound
Just lit me up for a moment
Then left me on the ground

[Outro]
We moved like it was real
Like it might carry through
But morning always knew
What we couldn’t prove
You were already leaving
Before it all was through
Your body said something
But you couldn’t make it true
