[Verse 1]
You left a read on me
I left my pride on hold
Same old game again
But this one hit my soul
Your jacket on my chair
Your scent still in the seams
I keep your name in my mouth
Like it might fix my dreams
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why you do that
Pull me close, then fade
I keep my phone face down
Like that might save the day
One more call, one more text
I swear I’m not okay
If you come back tonight
I might let you stay
[Chorus]
Late check, late check
You got me on a late check
Late check, late check
I fall for the same set
Late check, late check
Say my name, then break it
Late check, late check
I hate it, but I take it
[Verse 2]
I saw you with that grin
At the corner store
Act like we never burned
Act like we kept score
You wore my favorite chain
Like it was just yours
Now every little thing
Keeps opening the door
I’m cool in front of friends
I lie with a straight face
Then midnight comes around
And I want your place
[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me why you do that
Pull me close, then fade
I keep my phone face down
Like that might save the day
One more call, one more text
I swear I’m not okay
If you come back tonight
I might let you stay
[Chorus]
Late check, late check
You got me on a late check
Late check, late check
I fall for the same set
Late check, late check
Say my name, then break it
Late check, late check
I hate it, but I take it
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the problem
Maybe I’m the one
Still I hear your steps
When the weekend’s done
If you knock, I’m answering
That’s the truth I know
I should let you go
I never let you go
[Chorus]
Late check, late check
You got me on a late check
Late check, late check
I fall for the same set
Late check, late check
Say my name, then break it
Late check, late check
I hate it, but I take it
