[Cold Open] [guitars muted, faint amp noise, room tone] You still awake? (breath in) Yeah. [Intro] [low guitar figure under the vocal] Streetlight flickers on the ceiling cracks Blue from the window on your denim jacket [Verse 1] Couch bed, hoodie for a second sheet Your boots by the door in a tangled heap You say you will leave when the rent runs out Then another late night somehow comes around Half drunk fries on the coffee table Phone face down like a busted halo You talk big plans in a tired voice I keep nodding like I have a choice [Hook] You only show up when the city is bleeding Neon bruised and the crosswalks red Same street, same talk, different evening You keep running on loop in my head On loop in my head, on loop in my head You keep running on loop in my head [Verse 2] Bathroom mirror with the ghost toothpaste Lipstick name that the steam erased You say this town is a loaded gun But you still flinch when the mornings come We play that record that always skips Laugh mid sentence, take another sip You swear next week you will disappear Your jacket stays hanging another year [Pre-Hook Break] (breath) You say "one more night" like a prayer [beat of silence] Every promise evaporates in the air [Hook] You only show up when the city is bleeding Neon bruised and the crosswalks red Same street, same talk, different evening You keep running on loop in my head On loop in my head, on loop in my head You keep running on loop in my head [Bridge] If you really wanted out you would be gone by now But you kiss me in the kitchen with the lights blown out All your maybe tomorrows piled by the door I keep sweeping them back into the middle of the floor [Hook - Alt] You only show up when the city is bleeding Sirens painting our faces red Same street, same lie, same feeling You keep living on loop in my head On loop in my head, on loop in my head [Tag Outro] [whispered delivery] You say you will leave (breath) But you never leave [low growl vocal tone] You never leave, you never leave [guitar rings, amp hum stays, then cuts]
