[Verse 1]
I wear the knife grin
She knows my name
Midnight on the hallway
I call the game
Black gloves, slow steps
On her front porch floor
She leaves the window open
Like she's asking for more
[Verse 2]
I trace her perfume
Through the empty rooms
She looks over her shoulder
Then she starts to swoon
I could be the monster
She could be the flame
Every little terror
Pulls her back again
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, run
Then look back at me
Heart like thunder
She tastes the fear and sweet
Run, run, run
I let her think she's free
Then she laughs in the dark
And comes to me
[Chorus]
Chase me
Chase me down
If I’m the mask
Then you’re the crown
Break me
Take me now
I’m your bad dream
And you love the sound
[Verse 3]
Blood-red roses
On a cracked back seat
She bites my collar
Like a vow I keep
I can hear her breathing
When the house goes still
She wants the danger
And I want her will
[Pre-Chorus]
Run, run, run
Then look back at me
Heart like thunder
She tastes the fear and sweet
Run, run, run
I let her think she's free
Then she laughs in the dark
And comes to me
[Chorus]
Chase me
Chase me down
If I’m the mask
Then you’re the crown
Break me
Take me now
I’m your bad dream
And you love the sound
[Bridge]
Pull the curtains
Let the moon crawl in
She said, "Scare me harder"
So I let it begin
One last circle
One last kiss of steel
Tell me what you want, babe
Tell me what is real
[Breakdown]
Go on
Scream my name
I’ll be the hunter
You’ll be the flame
Go on
Don’t pretend
You were never innocent
From the start to the end
[Final Chorus]
Chase me
Chase me down
If I’m the mask
Then you’re the crown
Break me
Take me now
I’m your bad dream
And you love the sound
Chase me
Chase me down
I’m your bad dream
And you love the sound
