I saw her walk in, leggings just right Every red flag waved, but I still liked the sight Had a thousand thoughts that weren’t real polite But I finally asked her out on a Tuesday night We started talking like we’d known each other years She cracked my armor, and we spoke open about our fears She’d wear those leggings, make my head spin fast Didn’t know she’d hit me deeper than her familiar past My head said slow down, my heart said stay My body had words I can’t even say I was all in, she was halfway gone Felt her close, but something felt wrong I was deep in her world, she was under my skin She let me in everywhere but where it counts in the end We never aligned, we never could be She wanted the moment, I wanted …we We took a couple trips, chased sunset skies Pictures looked good, but I could read the look in her eyes She kept one foot out, kept her walls way up high Like she liked the heat but deep down hated this guy My head said slow down, my heart said stay My body had words I can’t even say I was all in, she was halfway gone Felt her close, but something felt wrong I was deep in her world, she was under my skin She let me in everywhere but where it counts in the end We never aligned, we never could be She wanted the moment, I wanted …we She’d pull me close, then push me away Say all the right things but never quite stay I’d tell myself, “Man, you’re reading into this,” But that quiet doubt was the real hit and miss Maybe I saw my past in her face Tried to fix something time can’t erase Maybe I loved the idea, I wanted someone to want me Or maybe I tried too hard so I really couldn’t see She disappeared like I knew she would Ghosted me clean, just like I knew she could Five years gone and it still feels strange Some names don’t fade, they just change My head said slow down, my heart said stay My body had words I can’t even say I gave her me, she kept her shield Some things are felt but never healed I was deep in her world, she never fell in mine Soul-deep talks, didn’t want to see the sign We never aligned, we never could see She wanted the now… I wanted…it to be! (Outro - girls voice) I’m I the tightest you’ve ever been with? (Male singers voice) No, baby…sorry

Head Said No, Heart Said Stay
