Lyrics
You pull up past midnight
New perfume
Same smile
Phone face down on my counter
You say
“I’m not staying long”
City hum in your hair
I pour two
You drink mine
You talk like you might be leaving
But your hands don’t match your line
I want you
Eyes open
Heart ajar
No stories
Just the scar
We both know what we are
I want you
Close enough to feel the lie
Far enough to survive
I love you
But not the alibi
Your dress on my chair
Your guard in my sink
You kiss like you’re on a timer
You’re gone before I can blink
Car lights cut through the blinds
Uber meter climbing slow
We treat the distance like reason
For wanting what we let go
I want you
Eyes open
Heart ajar
No stories
Just the scar
We both know what we are
I want you
Close enough to feel the lie
Far enough to survive
I love you
But not the alibi
You tuck a bill in the jar
Say
“Get something nice tomorrow” (mm)
You know I’m fine on my own
But you still pay off the sorrow
I won’t chase what won’t stay
Won’t beg you to decide
If you call
I’ll let it ring twice
Then maybe let you inside
I want you
Eyes open
Heart ajar
No stories
Just the scar
We both know what we are
I want you
Close enough to feel the lie
Far enough to survive
I love you
But I still love my life
