[Verse 1] I come home late with my shoes in my hand You look at me like I don't understand I'm not a kid, but I'm not free Still your name lives in the bones of me [Pre-Chorus] I bite my tongue, then it slips again We go too far, then we start back in I want the road, you want my keys We both get lost in the same disease [Chorus] Heavy air, heavy air We say too much, then stop and stare Heavy air, heavy air I still need you, you're still there (heavy air) (heavy air) We know it, but we don't say it right [Verse 2] My best friend calls, and I slip outside My boyfriend laughs, and I breathe for a while Out where the trees don't ask me why I feel my own name come back alive [Pre-Chorus] Then I hear your voice in my head Don't trust that girl, don't make that bed I want to scream, I want to run I want to be more than your only one [Chorus] Heavy air, heavy air We say too much, then stop and stare Heavy air, heavy air I still need you, you're still there (heavy air) (heavy air) We know it, but we don't say it right [Bridge] Some nights the door shuts soft And the whole house lets its guard down You ask if I ate, I ask if you're okay For a second, we both let love sound out [Final Chorus] Heavy air, heavy air We grow up hard, we get there Heavy air, heavy air You and me, we still care (heavy air) (heavy air) We'd break the world to keep us safe And by morning, we'll try again
