[Verse 1] You left a trail of smoke In the shape of your smile Every “maybe” in your mouth Wore the same old file I read your little pauses Like footprints in the rain And every time you pulled away I felt the case begin again [Pre-Chorus] Another sign, another slip Another shadow in your text I should let it go, I know But I’m already on to next [Chorus] Another lie of you Yet my heart keeps taking clues My friends call me Sherlock Holmes 'Cause I trace it back to you Another lie of you And I still don’t know what’s true My friends call me Sherlock Holmes I keep tracing back to you [Verse 2] Your alibis were spotless Too polished to be real A borrowed laugh, a broken word A signature reveal I pinned it to the corkboard Every look, every line And somehow every answer Had your fingerprints in mine [Pre-Chorus] Another sign, another slip Another shadow in your text I should let it go, I know But I’m already on to next [Chorus] Another lie of you Yet my heart keeps taking clues My friends call me Sherlock Holmes 'Cause I trace it back to you Another lie of you And I still don’t know what’s true My friends call me Sherlock Holmes I keep tracing back to you [Bridge] Maybe I’m addicted To the chase, to the chase Maybe I mistake your chaos For a kind of grace But if you ask me to leave now I’d still scan the room For the truth inside your silence For the ghost inside your “soon” [Chorus] Another lie of you Yet my heart keeps taking clues My friends call me Sherlock Holmes 'Cause I trace it back to you Another lie of you And I still don’t know what’s true My friends call me Sherlock Holmes I keep tracing back to you
