Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were lying on the floorboards
Tracing cracks like fault lines
Edge to edge
You said
“All I’ve ever wanted
Is a place my shaking hands can rest”
I laughed like it didn’t cut me
Changed the subject
Swallowed half the words
Every almost
Every maybe
Hanging in the air
Too scared to burn
[Chorus]
Is this the best of us
Or just the closest that we get to almost touching
You pull away
I stay
Stuck in the doorway of your rushing
If this is all we are
Just a promise that keeps turning into dust
I’ll keep my breathing rough
Let it hurt
If that’s the best of us
[Verse 2]
You were staring out the window
Saying you were barely holding on
Every street became an exit
Every quiet night a ticking bomb
I kept feeding you distractions
Little jokes and lists of things to do
Anything but say “I love you”
Like the truth would be the thing that ruins you
[Chorus]
Is this the best of us
Or just the closest that we get to almost touching
You pull away
I stay
Stuck in the doorway of your rushing
If this is all we are
Just a promise that keeps turning into dust
I’ll keep my breathing rough
Let it hurt
If that’s the best of us
[Bridge]
[Drop builds — low bass swell
Drums and strings rising
Breathy background vocals]
Say you want me
Say you don’t
Say you’re breaking
I’ll be broke
Every version ends the same
You disappear
I take the blame (oh)
Say you’re staying
Say you’re gone
Either way
I’m holding on
To the night you almost said
“I’m not afraid of what comes next”
[Chorus]
Is this the best of us
Or just the closest that we get to almost touching
You pull away
I stay
Stuck in the doorway of your rushing
If this is all we are
Just a promise that keeps turning into dust
I’ll keep my breathing rough
Let it hurt
If that’s the best of us
[Outro]
If that’s the best of us
(If that’s the best of us)
I’ll let it open me
Till there’s nothing left but trust
