Verse 1 Well now look who’s up, Mascara in your coffee cup, Streetlight still flickerin’ from the night, You never lock the door right. You used to be soft, But you learned to walk mean, Taught yourself to smile like a slot machine— All teeth, no win. Verse 2 You change your name like you change your clothes, But the pain still hangs in your velvet throes. I told you once not to sleep on dreams, But you made a bed of 'em, split at the seams. You said I’d love you when I grew up. I said, “Sweetheart, you chew people up.” You laughed, then ghosted through a crowd of glow, Said “I gotta go where the pretty people go.” Pre-Chorus And yeah, I know I rolled my eyes, But damn, you’re hard to criticize— You always catch the light just right... Chorus But you always wake up late, Say it's just ‘cause fate runs slow. And you’ll swear you’re on your way, But your shoes don’t ever go. Yeah, you keep your phone on mute, So no one gets too close. You’re not cruel, just always chasing Things that look like home. Verse 3 You kissed me once behind a diner sign, Said, “This ain’t love, it’s just good lines.” I laughed, ‘cause you were probably right, But I stayed till you blurred into neon light. I wrote you once from Colorado, But the ink just ran like you always do— City of stunners and half-baked truths, Yeah, you make lies taste like something new. Pre-Chorus (2) And I don’t hate you, not at all, You just look better from far off— In rearviews and bathroom stalls... Final Chorus But you always wake up late, Wipe off your sins with gold. Say you’ll come back one day, But your type never grows old. And I still hum that song you played, When we danced with stolen smokes. You’re not gone, you’re just a feeling That I almost broke.
