Static Lips

You say my name like it’s secondhand

I nod along like I understand

The room feels thin,

the air tastes bright

I’m here, I’m gone,

in the same streetlight (mmm)

If I lean in,

will you lean back?

Or let it fall through the little cracks I keep my cool,

I keep it light

But my hands shake out of sight (ahhhh)

Stay a little,

don’t decide

I can’t read you,

but I try

Hold me close, then slip away

Like a song I can’t replay

Stay a little,

on my mind

Soft disaster, dressed in shine (ooh)

(da-da, da-da) (mmm)

Your laugh comes late through the cheap speakers I play it off

like it don’t reach us The night bus sighs,

then disappears

I count my steps against my fears (yeah)

I don’t need a rescue scene

Just a moment where you mean it

Let it land, no alibis

Look at me with honest eyes (hummmm)

Stay a little, don’t decide

I can’t read you,

but I try

Hold me close, then slip away

Like a song I can’t replay

Stay a little, on my mind

Soft disaster, dressed in shine (ooh)

(da-da, da-da) (ahhhh)
