[Verse 1]
[Male]
You hang up
I stare at the screen again
Same fight
Same four walls
But you still feel under my skin
[Female]
You say “I’m done”
But you don’t believe that line
Your suitcase stays in the closet
You’re still tangled up in mine
[Pre-Chorus]
[Male]
Every mile
Every hour
I still taste your name on my tongue (mmm)
[Female]
Every tear
Every silence
Pulls me back to where we begun (yeah)
[Chorus]
[Both]
We’re only getting closer in the dark
Even when we’re falling apart (falling apart)
You bruise me
You soothe me
You’re my spark
Every scar spells out your heart
Say you hate me
Say you’re leaving
But you’re the air that I keep breathing
We’re only getting closer in the dark
You’re the center of my heart
[Verse 2]
[Female]
You’re late again
I’m pacing the kitchen floor
My voice says
“I can’t do this”
My body’s pulling you through the door
[Male]
Your friends all say
I’m trouble you shouldn’t chase
But they don’t know that quiet
When I’m crying into your waist
[Pre-Chorus]
[Female]
All the storms
All the shouting
Still your name is my favorite sound (oh-oh)
[Male]
All the nights that we break it
We’re the ones that still turn it around (turn it around)
[Chorus]
[Both]
We’re only getting closer in the dark
Even when we’re falling apart (falling apart)
You bruise me
You soothe me
You’re my spark
Every scar spells out your heart
Say you hate me
Say you’re leaving
But you’re the air that I keep breathing
We’re only getting closer in the dark
You’re the center of my heart
[Bridge]
[Male]
Tell me
Are you shaking too
When my name lights up your phone? (yeah)
[Female]
Boy
You know I tremble
Like you’re right here by my bones (mmm)
[Male]
I don’t want perfect
I want you
Mess and magic
All of you (all of you)
[Female]
If the distance is a fire
Baby
Let it burn us through
[Both]
I choose you
Every version
Every mood
Every wound
[Chorus]
[Both]
We’re only getting closer in the dark
Even when we’re falling apart (oh-oh, falling apart)
You bruise me
You soothe me
You’re my spark
Every scar spells out your heart (your heart)
Say you hate me
Say you’re leaving
But you’re the air that I keep breathing (keep breathing)
We’re only getting closer in the dark
You’re the center of my heart
[Outro]
[Female]
You’re my center (my center)
[Male]
You’re my home when I’m off track (yeah)
[Both]
So if I lose the words tonight
Just know I’m always coming back (always coming back)
