Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Backseat of the black car
We’re laughing at the billboards as we pass
You’re tracing little circles
On my wrist like it’s made of glass
Cameras in the rearview
Every exit feels like a trap
Your hand slips away quick
Like we could ever take it back
[Pre-Chorus]
Do they already know
Every secret in my eyes?
If I let this show
Would it burn down both our lives?
[Chorus]
So we stay offstage in love
In the quiet
In the hush
You’re the name I never say
With the flashbulbs in my face
Got a heart that’s screaming out
But my lips don’t make a sound
You’re the song I can’t perform
In the middle of the storm
I’m yours in the dark
In the dark
But the spotlight’s too sharp for my heart
[Verse 2]
Late calls from the hotel
Room service on the floor between us
You’re dancing in my T-shirt
Mouthing words you’ll never tweet us
They think they see the real me
In a picture and a caption
But they don’t see your lipstick
On my throat like a reaction
[Pre-Chorus]
What if we let it slip
One touch in the wrong place?
Would the world turn quick
Would they tear you from my arms
From my name?
[Chorus]
So we stay offstage in love
In the quiet
In the hush
You’re the name I never say
With the flashbulbs in my face
Got a heart that’s screaming out
But my lips don’t make a sound
You’re the song I can’t perform
In the middle of the storm
I’m yours in the dark
In the dark
But the spotlight’s too sharp for my heart
[Bridge]
[Beat drops to almost nothing]
I wanna hold you in daylight (oh)
Not just hallway shadows at night
But every time I picture us
I see headlines
I see headlines
So I hide you in my phone
Different name
Different tone
You say love should not be secret
But you stay
You stay
You stay
[Chorus]
So we stay offstage in love
In the quiet
In the hush
You’re the name I never say
With the flashbulbs in my face
Got a heart that’s screaming out
But my lips don’t make a sound
You’re the song I can’t perform
In the middle of the storm
I’m yours in the dark
In the dark
Yeah
I’m yours in the dark
In the dark
But the spotlight’s too sharp for my heart (oh-oh)

Style
pop, Shimmering stadium-pop with tight drums, bright synth arps, and big stacked female vocals; verses stay intimate and close-mic over pulsing pads, pre-chorus adds tom builds and filtered backing vocals, and the chorus explodes with wide guitars, soaring top line, and crowd-ready “oh-oh” chants. Bridge pulls back to almost a cappella before a final, higher-key chorus lift.
