Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You trace shapes in the air
Spelling answers I can’t read
You say “love is just a dare”
But you’re daring me to leave
Half-packed box by the door
Tickets tucked in your book
You say you’re fine
You’re sure
But you can’t hold my look
[Chorus]
If I can’t stay
Would you
Keep my name in your mouth like the truth
Would you turn all the frames to the wall
Or let them fall
If I can’t stay
Would you
Let the echo of us run through
Every late
Late night that finds you
If I can’t stay
Would you
[Verse 2]
You laugh hard
Then go quiet
Like a storm that lost its rain
You say “we could still try it”
But you’re bracing for the pain
Streetlight cuts through the room
Gold lines across your face
We’re both counting the moves
Like we’re tied in place
[Chorus]
If I can’t stay
Would you
Keep my name in your mouth like the truth
Would you turn all the frames to the wall
Or let them fall
If I can’t stay
Would you
Let the echo of us run through
Every late
Late night that finds you
If I can’t stay
Would you
[Bridge]
Would you leave my jacket on the chair
Just in case I came back there (hey)
Would you learn to breathe inside the quiet
Or call it what it is
A riot
[Chorus]
If I can’t stay
Would you
Keep my name in your mouth like the truth
Would you turn all the frames to the wall
Or let them fall
If I can’t stay
Would you
Let the echo of us run through
Every late
Late night that finds you
If I can’t stay
Would you (would you)
If I can’t stay
Would you
