[Intro] You show up like a headline I can’t read Half a smile, then you disappear on me You say you like my eyes But you keep checking who’s around Streetlight flicker, your shadow on the glass Every time I get close, you let it pass Smile for the story, right? You only love me when it’s loud [Pre-Chorus] You talk like I’m your future While you’re scrolling through your past I keep checking my phone like it owes me the truth Got your name on my tongue but it won’t come through You think I can’t see through you But I learn fast, I learn fast All my friends say, “let it go,” but I don’t know how ‘Cause you’re everywhere, not here, right now [Chorus – A x B] I know what you’re after It’s not my heart you’re chasing Who are you, who are you In the middle of my blue You want the rush, the applause, the laughter Got me dancing in the dark To a beat that breaks my heart Then you’d leave me standing vacant Who are you, who are you Like a dream I’m running to So I’ll turn this into a song Sing it out, call you out, get stronger [Verse Switch] You say I’m “so different” But you said that line last week Same joke, same compliment You just swap out the name you speak You leave little clues like a song on repeat A perfume in the air, a rhythm in the street Saw your coat in the crowd, thought I knew your face But it’s always just a almost, always just a chase [Pre-Chorus – call & response] You lean in like it’s honest But your words feel cut and paste I keep reading the signs like a movie cliché But the plot twists when I think you’ll stay You want someone to fill the silence Not a person, just a space If you’re real, then why you feel like a fading sound Tell me where you go when you’re not around [Chorus – stacked] I know what you’re after It’s not my heart you’re chasing Who are you, who are you In the middle of my blue You want the rush, the applause, the laughter Got me dancing in the dark To a beat that breaks my heart Then you’d leave me standing vacant Who are you, who are you Like a dream I’m running to I’m smiling while I fall For nobody at all [Bridge – breakdown] This pen is sharper than your charm Every bar, another scar You never had me in your hands I had you pinned from the start Maybe you’re a stranger Maybe you’re my future Maybe I invented you To make my lonely prettier [Build] So when you hear this on repeat Know it’s you between the beats If you hear this—send a sign, send a spark Meet me where the bass hits in the back of my heart [Final Chorus – mash] Who are you, who are you In the middle of my blue I know what you’re after It’s not my heart you’re chasing Got me singing in the dark To a beat that breaks my heart You want the rush, the applause, the laughter But I want you after all Who are you, who are you If I’m close, pull me through So I’ll turn this into a song Sing it out, call you out, get stronger Who are you, who are you In the middle of my blue You think you’re playing me along But I know what you’re after.
