[Verse 1] You love me like it leaves a mark I can’t even look straight at your face I try to hold you without breaking Try to want this at a normal pace Whatever I’m feeling, I can’t name it Whatever happens was already in me When we get soft, it costs something Feels good, but it never comes free [Verse 2] You show up late with your jacket wet Hair still flat from the drive across town Leave your keys in the bowl by the door Like you’ve been here long enough to slow down I say, “don’t read into me too hard” You laugh like you already know Then you put your hand on my shoulder And I lose whatever I was gonna say [Chorus] What am I doing, trying not to fall Like I’m meant to stay on the ground What am I missing, keeping it safe When all I want is to hear that sound You love me like it leaves a mark And I keep coming back for more You love me like it leaves a mark And I don’t know what I’m waiting for [Verse 3] I’ve got excuses stacked in the sink Next to two half-empty mugs I keep telling myself it’s a phase But I never really clean it up If this goes sideways, I’ll call it a lesson If it stays, I’ll call it a surprise Either way, you get right under my skin And I can’t pretend I don’t like it sometimes [Chorus] What am I doing, trying not to fall Like I’m meant to stay on the ground What am I missing, keeping it safe When all I want is to hear that sound You love me like it leaves a mark And I keep coming back for more You love me like it leaves a mark And I don’t know what I’m waiting for
