[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
