[Verse 1]
Met you by the speakers
Static air and plastic cups
You laughed at something broken
Said
“it always jams us up”
[low whispery vocals]
Ink on your fingers
Names on your wrist
I was all edges
You were that risk
[Chorus]
[low screamy vocals]
You hit me like a car crash
Slow
Glass in my veins
I let it flow
Didn’t know love
’Til it ripped through my chest
You’re the wound
You’re the breath
Yeah you drag me through my own decay
Every scar lights up when you say my name
Didn’t know love
’Til it burned in my throat
You’re the knife
You’re the hope
[Verse 2]
Ash on your jacket
Boot prints on the floor
You said
“I hate this crowd”
I said
“I hate me more”
[whispered
Close to mic]
You pulled my hoodie
Said “stand right here”
Your hair in my mouth
Your heartbeat in my ear
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
[guitars drown in reverb
Drums drop out]
If this is rescue
Why am I shaking
If this is heaven
Why am I breaking
[build
Vocals rising from whisper to scream]
Take my throat
Write your name
In the cracks
In the frame
If I vanish in your stare
Bury me
In your hair
[Chorus]
