[Verse 1] Near the lake, you said, “You duck,” I swear I saw a smile The spring air broke our silence, lingered for a while Your hand nailed mine, like a secret waiting to break We rowed through words, every thought a high-stakes stake A fan spins overhead, or is it just my mind? The bark of the trees, your voice behind You match the rhythm, a trip I can’t contain I bear the storm of loving you, and all the hidden pain [Pre-Chorus] Light bends, shadows fall, You said, “Charge it all,” and I felt the call Right or wrong, the current pulls me in I rock back on my heels, yet can’t resist the spin [Chorus] On top of the world, yet I spring and I break We saw the signs, yet we play for the stakes Date me tonight, or leave me to fly We break, we bend, we touch, we lie [Verse 2] A bat flits past, or is it my fear of the night? Tissue-thin moments, our love in the pale moonlight You jam with the shadows, the pitch of your gaze Cool winds in the hallways, memory ablaze I duck from your stare, yet I trip toward your flame Nail my heart to yours, yet nothing stays the same I bear the weight of what we can’t explain Every laugh a spark, every tear a chain [Pre-Chorus] Light bends, shadows fall, You said, “Charge it all,” and I felt the call Right or wrong, the current pulls me in I rock back on my heels, yet can’t resist the spin [Chorus] On top of the world, yet I spring and I break We saw the signs, yet we play for the stakes Date me tonight, or leave me to fly We break, we bend, we touch, we lie [Bridge] Match my heartbeat, the flash and the shade A nail in the silence, the vows we made Fan the embers, cool the rising flame Tissue the scars, but never the blame [Outro] Near the lake, the current sways We rock, we charge, we dance, we play Light bends, shadows fall, we rise On top of the world, in each other’s eyes
