[Verse 1] House lights humming, bodies in a crowded room Red cup sweating, trying not to meet your eyes too soon You laugh a little louder than you probably need to Saying you hate this song, but you’re still moving in time [Pre-Chorus] You lean in close just to tell me a joke But your hand on my arm says more than you spoke And I know how these nights usually end Strangers at midnight, by dawn we pretend [Chorus] These party lines we’re crossing Kissing in the kitchen while the speakers shake the wall Your name already fading But I still answer every time your body calls We write our numbers on the back of cheap receipts Then lose them in the morning on some stranger’s city street Oh, we only fall in love between the songs And fake it when the daylight comes along [Verse 2] Strobe light flicker, someone’s passed out on the couch Bathroom mirror, I fix my face and talk myself down You’re waiting in the hallway with that crooked little grin Saying, "Come on, they just put our favorite trouble on again" [Pre-Chorus] You take my drink, pull me out to the yard Plastic stars taped to fences and a sky full of scars We trade our secrets like they’re cigarettes Just something to burn, something to forget [Chorus] These party lines we’re crossing Kissing in the kitchen while the speakers shake the wall Your name already fading But I still answer every time your body calls We write our numbers on the back of cheap receipts Then lose them in the morning on some stranger’s city street Oh, we only fall in love between the songs And fake it when the daylight comes along [Bridge] We say, "This is the last time, the last time, I swear" Then your hands find my shoulders, pull me down the stairs Past coats on the railing and bottles on the ground Into someone else’s bedroom where we never turn around We make promises we never mean Under fairy lights that buzz and bleed And every "stay" turns into "go" When the host says, "Hey, I gotta close the door" [Chorus] These party lines we’re crossing Kissing in the kitchen while the speakers shake the wall Your name already fading But I still answer every time your body calls We write our numbers on the back of cheap receipts Then lose them in the morning on some stranger’s city street Oh, we only fall in love between the songs And fake it when the daylight comes along [Outro] House lights coming up, someone’s turning down the sound You say you’ll text me later as we’re stumbling through the crowd And by the time the sunrise finds my face You’re just glitter in the sink, and somebody I can’t quite place
