[Verse 1]
You turn your phone face down
Say it’s just “old friends” again
I trace your name in the dust
On a glass that we both drink from
I said I’d cut things clean
Still kept her number
“just in case”
Guess we’re mirrors in this house
Cracked in all the same places
[Chorus]
It’s back and forth behind our backs
You got your secrets
I got my past
We’re sleeping close
But hearts step back
Who are we whispering to at night like that?
If every truth’s got strings attached
How do we find our way back?
Back and forth behind our backs
[Verse 2]
You laugh a little too soft
At a name that I still don’t trust
I replay messages I sent
Knowing I already broke us
We trade apologies
Like receipts we never scan
Both of us half confess
Holding guilt in the other hand
[Chorus]
It’s back and forth behind our backs
You got your secrets
I got my past
We’re sleeping close
But hearts step back
Who are we whispering to at night like that?
If every truth’s got strings attached
How do we find our way back?
Back and forth behind our backs
[Bridge]
Do we delete
Do we block
Do we bleed slow?
Do we talk till the sun says “let it go”?
Or are we just two ghosts in our own bed
Typing things that we’re too scared to say instead?
[Chorus]
It’s back and forth behind our backs
You got your secrets
I got my past
We’re holding on
But scared to ask
What happens if we finally say it all at last?
If every truth’s got strings attached
Can we still find our way back?
From all this back and forth behind our backs
