Step soft where the floorboards sigh
A door half-open, dare me inside (ahhhh)
I came back quiet,
like I never left
Keys in my pocket,
lying to myself
Your name on my tongue,
too heavy to say
So I let it drag me down the hallway (mmm)
If you hear me,
don’t turn the light on I’m not ready to be seen
I’m still learning how to want you Without begging in between (ooh)
You’re creeping back in my head again
Like a song I swore was dead again
I shut the door,
you slip right through
Tell me what you want me to do
You’re creeping back, no warning sign
In the quiet, in the aftertime (yeah) (la-la) (ahhhh)
I scroll past messages I shouldn’t read
Old little promises that still bleed Your laugh in the corner of
every room A cheap cologne and a borrowed tune (hmm)
Say it plain—are you lonely too?
Or just bored with the truth?
I can’t keep playing statue While you move me where you choose
(ahhhh) You’re creeping back in my head again
Like a song I swore was dead again I shut the door,
you slip right through
Tell me what you want me to do
You’re creeping back, no warning sign
In the quiet, in the aftertime (yeah) (ooh) (la-la) (mmm)
