Red String in a Blackout

[Verse 1]
Black coat
Red dress
Gun smoke on your perfume, stress
You walk in like a quiet siren
Whole room slows down, eyes widen
You say “Leon, why you still care?”
I say “Ada, why you still there?”
Every mission, same old dance
Chasing ghosts, chasing one more chance (uh)
[Chorus]
We’re a red string in a blackout
Two hearts, wrong time, wrong town
Every time I swear I’m done
You reload my foolish love
We burn bright in the fallout
Hold tight when the world falls down
I can’t save you, you can’t stay
But I keep running your way (your way)
[Verse 2]
Barrel flash
Heart jump
You show up when it all looks sunk
Lying eyes with the truth behind ’em
Half saint, half smooth crime, I buy it
Walkie crackles, orders scream
You smile, step into my scope, serene
“Pull the trigger, boy, be brave”
How do I shoot what I want to save?
[Chorus]
We’re a red string in a blackout
Two hearts, wrong time, wrong town
Every time I swear I’m done
You reload my foolish love
We burn bright in the fallout
Hold tight when the world falls down
I can’t save you, you can’t stay
But I keep running your way (your way)
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to toms and low guitar]
If this is fate, it’s a cruel design
You in the crosshair, me on the line
You say “forget me”
I never do
Every nightmare still ends in you (woah)
[Chorus]
We’re a red string in a blackout
Two hearts, wrong time, wrong town
Every time I swear I’m done
You reload my foolish love
We burn bright in the fallout
Hold tight when the world falls down
I can’t save you, you can’t stay
But I keep running your way
Yeah, I keep running your way (Ada)
I keep running your way
