Even When It’s Dark

[Verse 1]
Another hallway
Buzzing bulbs
Stained floor
Same old voices
Telling me “want more”
I spend my paycheck
On the wrong damn highs
But your chipped black nails
Pull me back inside
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m cracked but I’m awake
Blood on the birthday cake
You kiss the hurt and say
“Baby
You still break right”
[Chorus]
Even when it’s dark
I know there’s love
In a cheap motel
On a plastic rug
Yeah we scream and scratch
But we still trust
I believe in sex
I believe in us
I will keep trying
Teeth and tongue
Even when it’s dark
I know there’s love
[Verse 2]
Tattooed promise
Misspelled on my skin
You light a cigarette
Draw a heart
Breathe in
We’re bad at quiet
Great at starting fights
But you tape my fingers
When I punch the night (hey!)
[Pre-Chorus]
You laugh
“you’re such a mess”
Ink on your Sunday dress
I swear I’ll do my best
To wreck you a little less
[Chorus]
Even when it’s dark
I know there’s love
In a ripped band tee
In a bathroom rush
Yeah we crash like waves
Then rise back up
I believe in sex
I believe in us
I will keep trying
Rough and rough
Even when it’s dark
I know there’s love
[Bridge]
Every scar
Is a spell we cast
Every bad day
Says this might last
Spit in the sink
Hold my shaking hand
We’re not perfect
We’re the perfect band (oh yeah)
[Chorus]
Even when it’s dark
I know there’s love
From your bitten lip to your brutal hugs
Yeah we bend
Don’t break
That’s just us
I believe in sex
I believe in us
I will keep trying
That’s enough
Even when it’s dark
I know there’s love
