[Verse 1] You walk in Same barstool Same cheap perfume Same damn rule You act like we’re still harmless friends But my hands remember how this ends You laugh low Touch my sleeve Say “Relax You know I’ll leave” But all these patterns in your eyes Pull me under Every time [Chorus] Wish you wouldn’t look at me like that Like the past don’t weigh a thing Wish you wouldn’t say my name like that Like a song you still wanna sing Every time you slide in close You light the fuse You let it burn Wish you wouldn’t Wish you wouldn’t Make me hope you’ll never learn [Verse 2] You say “Just one Then I’m gone” But it’s last call We’re still on You trace circles on my glass Like you’re spelling out our past You say you’re tired of your town Then you pull me back down To that old truck in the rain To every almost Every blame [Chorus] Wish you wouldn’t look at me like that Like the past don’t weigh a thing Wish you wouldn’t say my name like that Like a song you still wanna sing Every time you slide in close You light the fuse You let it burn Wish you wouldn’t Wish you wouldn’t Make me hope you’ll never learn [Bridge] I could walk I could leave I rehearse it every week But your shadow hits the door And I’m right back where I swore I’d never be again (oh no) Never be again [Chorus] Wish you wouldn’t look at me like that Like the truth ain’t on my skin Wish you wouldn’t crash into my night Like you’re not gonna run again Every time you slide in close You light the fuse You let it burn Wish you wouldn’t Wish you wouldn’t Be the lesson I don’t learn [Chorus] Wish you wouldn’t hold me like you mean it When you’re already halfway gone Wish you wouldn’t turn my heart to thunder Then leave me singing to the dawn Every time you slide in close You light the fuse You let it burn Wish you wouldn’t Wish you wouldn’t Be the hurt I still prefer
