Lyrics
Static in the speakers, a casual glance
I was looking for a spark, you were looking for a dance
You said the right things, cut right through the noise
Swallowed every word that brought you joy
A loaded promise wrapped up in a sigh
I didn't even bother looking at the sky
(Chorus)
I dove in head first and way too deep
You had me at hello, my soul to keep
I should have thought it over, hit the brakes instead
Instead of laying out the bleeding heart inside my chest
Took a step back, everything on the table
I'd done unpacked, pretending I was stable
(Bridge)
There's a science to leaving, a grace to goodbye
I skipped all the lessons and just learned how to fly
Straight into the pavement, blind and naive
God, it hurts so bad watching you leave
When I'm the one who laid the welcome mat right at your feet
And gave you the armor to defeat me.
(Chorus)
When I dove in head first and way too deep
You had me at hello, my soul to keep
I should have thought it over, hit the brakes instead
(Outro)
Nowhere left to hide.
Just a suitcase open wide.
Everything on the table.
I thought I was stable.
Way too deep...
Yeah, you had my soul to keep.
(Fade out)
