[Verse 1]
I fold up small in the booth
In my black hoodie truth
You walk in like a storm
Silver boots, cold charm
I laugh at the wrong time
Your eyeliner draws a line
You look like midnight won
I look like I weigh a ton
[Pre-Chorus]
So I buy one more
Then I buy two more
Tell my nerves to dance
While my knees hit the floor
[Chorus]
I get brave when I’m gone
Cheerful drunk, drag me on
Black lace, black lace, come on
Black lace, black lace, come on
I get mean with a grin
Try to let the night in
Black lace, black lace, come on
Black lace, black lace, come on
[Verse 2]
I talk too loud, then stop
Like a dog at the drop
You smile like you know
I’m a wreck in a slow glow
My shirt sticks to my chest
My pulse forgets to rest
I’d ask you for your name
But my mouth sets itself aflame
[Pre-Chorus]
So I steal one more
Then I steal two more
Now the room swings wide
And I’m not on the floor
[Chorus]
I get brave when I’m gone
Cheerful drunk, drag me on
Black lace, black lace, come on
Black lace, black lace, come on
I get mean with a grin
Try to let the night in
Black lace, black lace, come on
Black lace, black lace, come on
[Bridge]
If I’m lucky, I’ll lean too close
If I’m not, I’ll just freeze like toast
You’ll laugh, and I’ll call that gold
A little warm in my broken mold
[Final Chorus]
I get brave when I’m gone
Cheerful drunk, drag me on
Black lace, black lace, come on
Black lace, black lace, come on
I get mean with a grin
Try to let the night in
Black lace, black lace, come on
Black lace, black lace, come on
