[Verse 1]
You cancel plans
I take the blame
You say "relax"
Then fan the flame
We dance around it
Like we don't know
Who's in control
Who lets it go
[Pre-Chorus]
You roll your eyes
I pull you closer
You say you're done
But stay right over
We're tiptoe talking
On this wire
Each little laugh
Just feeds the fire
[Chorus]
We keep push and pull our hearts
Like it doesn't really matter
Start a fight and then we start
Taking pieces we can shatter
You say "stay
" I say "leave"
Then we switch it by the morning
We keep playing with our feelings
Like a game that keeps restarting (oh)
[Verse 2]
You read my texts
Then take your time
I change my shirt
For the seventh time
You say "it's fine"
But lock your phone
Two actors scared
To drop the tone
[Pre-Chorus]
You cross a line
Then hug me tighter
You call me cold
I call you lighter
We spark on purpose
Just to see
If you'll chase after
Or chase me free
[Chorus]
We keep push and pull our hearts
Like it doesn't really matter
Start a fight and then we start
Taking pieces we can shatter
You say "stay
" I say "leave"
Then we switch it by the morning
We keep playing with our feelings
Like a game that keeps restarting
[Bridge]
[Choir humming underneath
Cello and piano riffing]
You say "I'm over it"
(I know you're lying)
I say "I'm done with this"
(you see me trying)
We're both so scared
To lose this thrill
We test the edge
To check it's real
[Chorus]
We keep push and pull our hearts
Like it doesn't really matter
Start a fight and then we start
Taking pieces we can shatter
You say "stay
" I say "leave"
While we're tangled under covers
We keep playing with our feelings
'cause we're terrified we're lovers (oh yeah)
