[Verse 1] Static humming through the telephone wire Two hands reaching toward a dying fire You step closer, leave a shadow on the floor I keep one eye leaning on the exit door [Verse 2] Words don’t matter when the gravity takes Every hollow promise that a whisper makes Ticking on the dial, watching seconds unwind Losing whatever we were hoping to find [Pre-Chorus 1] Hold your breath, count to ten Swear we won’t do this again One foot in, one foot back Slipping off the broken track [Chorus 1] Pull me in, push it back, let it slide Keep the secret on the other side Gravity wins, but nobody stays Caught in the middle of a velvet haze Pull until it snaps, forget until it clears Drown out the noise of the wasted years [Bridge] Pull it like a magnet, Forget it like a pet, Nod it, like a fake date. [Interlude 1] (Low bass groove, pulsing rhythm, distorted guitar chime) (Pull… forget… pull… forget…) [Chorus 2] Pull me in, push it back, let it slide Keep the secret on the other side Gravity wins, but nobody stays Caught in the middle of a velvet haze Pull until it snaps, forget until it clears Drown out the noise of the wasted years [Verse 3] Now the daylight cuts across the kitchen tile Wearing the wreckage of a painted smile No hard feelings, nothing written in ink Easier to vanish than to stop and think [Bridge] Pull it like a magnet, Forget it like a pet, Nod it, like a fake date. [Chorus 3] Pull me in, push it back, let it slide Keep the secret on the other side Gravity wins, but nobody stays Caught in the middle of a velvet haze Pull until it snaps, forget until it clears Drown out the noise of the wasted years [Verse 4] Keys in the ignition, headlights in the mist Crossing off another name you won't miss The engine turns, the signal fades away Nothing left to borrow, nothing left to say [Verse 5] Just an open road and a rearview glass Watching every little complication pass The polarity breaks, the attraction is done Driving straight into a blinding sun [Outro] Snap the line. Drop the net. Easy to pull. Easier to forget. (Fade out: like a magnet… like a pet… like a fake date…)
