Bass Between Us

I see her hand in yours (mm-mm)

Acting like it doesn't hurt

You hold the front door open wide

She brushes past and walks inside

I stand three steps behind the two of you Counting every little

thing you do

She doesn't notice how your collar bends I guess to you I'm

just one of your friends

And when you look back over your shoulder

The air around us gets a little colder (yeah)

I want you so bad,

but you're already taken Every smile you give has my whole body

shaking

I hate that she gets to hold you all night

While

I'm in the dark trying to keep out of sight

She laughs too loud at jokes you never made

I watch the color in your posture fade

I know your favorite coffee,

know your fears

She's known your name for maybe seven years

And yet she's wearing your oversized coat Got a lump like lead

living in my throat

And when you brush my shoulder as we cross

I count the wreckage and I weigh the loss

(tell me now)

I want you so bad,

but you're already taken Every smile you give has my whole body

shaking

I hate that she gets to hold you all night

While I'm in the dark trying to keep out of sight

Does she ever trace the scar across your chin?

Does she even know the quiet mess you're in?

I keep it locked down,

I swallow the truth

(I swallow the truth)

I want you so bad,

but you're already taken (so bad,

yeah) Every smile you give has my whole body shaking

I hate that she gets to hold you all night (all night,

all night) While I'm in the dark trying to keep out of

sight

I just watch you walk away with her (yeah)

Three steps
