[Verse 1]
Saw you laughing by the bar
Josh
Hand on his sleeve like it’s nothing much
Ethan’s leaning in
You don’t pull back
I’m in the corner
Heart under attack
[Pre-Chorus]
Is it just a joke
Or am I the one you forgot
I’m standing here choking
While you’re playing with a spark that’s hot
[Chorus]
Xavier Bostwick’s turning green again
Watching Josh and Ethan trading looks like friends
Say it’s harmless
But it burns my skin
I’m jealous of the space that you let him in
Yeah
Xavier’s heart is hanging by a thread
Playing every word you said in my head
If it’s nothing
Why can’t I breathe?
Why does Ethan sit where I should be?
[Verse 2]
You say
“Baby
Don’t be so intense”
But I see the way you drop your defense
When Ethan smiles
You light up fast
Like I’m the future
He’s the past you never passed
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me
Am I crazy
Or did your hand stay there too long
I’m tired of pretending
That I’m fine when it all feels wrong
[Chorus]
Xavier Bostwick’s turning green again
Watching Josh and Ethan trading looks like friends
Say it’s harmless
But it burns my skin
I’m jealous of the space that you let him in
Yeah
Xavier’s heart is hanging by a thread
Playing every word you said in my head
If it’s nothing
Why can’t I breathe?
Why does Ethan sit where I should be?
[Bridge]
Josh
Look at me
Not through me (hey)
Say my name like you still choose me
Ethan’s just a shadow on the wall
But I’m afraid you like the fall
[Chorus]
Xavier Bostwick’s turning green again
Watching Josh and Ethan trading looks like friends
Say it’s harmless
But it burns my skin
I’m jealous of the space that you let him in
Yeah
Xavier’s heart is hanging by a thread
Whisper
“Xavier
You’re the one
” instead
If it’s nothing
Pull him away from me
Make Ethan just a memory
