[Verse 1]
New girl, same town
Same bridge
Same sound
People stare like they seen this film before
Welcome sign, paint chipped
Small talk, tight lips
Every house got a rumor in the floorboards
You say “trust me”
Eyes look past me
Like the story in your mouth ain’t the full one
Every smile here
Sharp as glass, dear
Every heartbeat hiding what it’s done
[Chorus]
Mystic Falls, it’s pulling us under
Pretty on the surface, built on a blunder
Everybody swears they’re innocent hearts
Mystic Falls, how it’s tearing us apart
Whispers in the church and blood on the altar
Lies taste sweet, then they drip like water
Some of y’all acting like you don’t play a part
Mystic Falls, how it’s tearing us apart
[Verse 2]
Breakfast at the Grill
Same booth
Same chill
They all freeze when a stranger says a name
Car crash on the news
“Old wounds
Old feud”
Waitress shrugs, but her hands say shame
You say “ancient history”
That phrase feels slippery
Every family tree here twisted up and cursed
Got a diary key
Hidden under your sleeve
You been reading every page of the worst
[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Who locked the door to the old town square
Who signed the deal, who ain’t play fair
Who kept quiet when the ink turned black
Who drew a map and ain’t look back
[whispered vocals]
You know, you know, you know
But you’ll never say it out loud
We glow, we glow, we glow
On the edge of burning down
[Chorus]
