[Intro]
[guitar weeps in the distance]
Your shadow on my wall
Looks softer than my skin
I reach but I don't call
I cave and cave again
[Verse 1]
Coffee's getting cold
I'm staring at the steam
Like maybe all this fog
Could wrap me from the scream
You laugh in all the ways
I never learned to do
I hold it like a secret
That I don't deserve you
[Chorus]
I keep on loving you from far away
Like I'm a storm behind the glass
I wanna let you in
But I just barricade
Turn every touch into a mask
You see a heart
I see a curse
You call it love
I call it worse
So I pull you close
Then I push you first
I'm falling up alone
It's gravity in reverse
[Verse 2]
You trace along my scars
Like they're a favorite song
I choke on every word
Convinced you heard me wrong
You say that I am kind
I feel the sirens flare
'Cause if you saw the wreckage
You wouldn't even care (that's what I swear)
[Chorus]
I keep on loving you from far away
Like I'm a storm behind the glass
I wanna let you in
But I just barricade
Turn every touch into a mask
You see a heart
I see a curse
You call it love
I call it worse
So I pull you close
Then I push you first
I'm falling up alone
It's gravity in reverse
[Bridge]
What if you're right
And I'm not broken past repair?
What if this fight
Is just a cage I choose to wear?
You put your hand in mine
It shakes like it's rehearsed
I wanna say "I'm yours"
I only whisper "I'm the worst" (so much worse)
[Chorus]
I keep on loving you from far away
Like I'm a storm behind the glass
I wanna let you in
But I just barricade
Turn every touch into a mask
You see a heart
I see a curse
You call it love
I call it worse
So I drown your name
In my quiet hurt
I'm falling up alone
It's gravity in reverse
[Outro]
[guitar cries
Answering the last vocal line]
Falling up alone
Fading in reverse
[guitar holds one last bending note into silence]
