[Verse 1] You said you'd changed, left your keys beside the bowl Then came back Sunday with the same old story told Your jacket's on the chair, your alibi's in pieces I know the little tells, the practiced pauses, all the reasons [Pre-Chorus] You take one step, then turn around Say you're done, then come back 'round I can read the pattern in your face Every time you find your way back to this place [Chorus] Backsliding like Michael Jackson Spin it round, then make it happen You swear this time you're moving on But by the morning, you're back where you belong Backsliding, same old traffic Big goodbye, then you come crashing You can dress it up, but I know that tune You leave at midnight, you're back by noon [Verse 2 - Rap] New plan, fresh start, packed bag by the door Two texts later, you're asking for more Talk like a winner, walk like a rerun Every exit turns around when the night's done You blame the weather, blame the week, blame your phone Blame the whole wide world, never blame coming home I don't need a chart, I don't need a sign You make that U-turn every single time [Pre-Chorus] You take one step, then turn around Say you're done, then come back 'round I can read the pattern in your face Every time you find your way back to this place [Chorus] Backsliding like Michael Jackson Spin it round, then make it happen You swear this time you're moving on But by the morning, you're back where you belong Backsliding, same old traffic Big goodbye, then you come crashing You can dress it up, but I know that tune You leave at midnight, you're back by noon [Bridge] Maybe you love the leaving more than being gone Maybe the door is just a stage to lean upon I won't keep the porch light burning anymore If you mean goodbye, don't come back through the door [Final Chorus] Backsliding like Michael Jackson Spin it round, then make it happen You swear this time you're moving on But by the morning, you're back where you belong Backsliding, same old traffic Big goodbye, then you come crashing You can dress it up, but I know that tune You leave at midnight, you're back by noon [Outro] Back by noon You leave at midnight, you're back by noon
