[Verse 1: Male] You left your gold hoops by the sink again A half-lit match in a coffee tin I said, “Come home,” you said, “Not tonight” Then your laugh came through the porch-screen light [Verse 2: Female] Boy, I keep my sweet talk folded in my coat Right by the county line and the spare car note You can call me trouble, call me when you’re low I know every backroad you don’t want me to know [Pre-Chorus: Male] Your name in my mouth like a dare I can’t quit Your hand on the wheel, both of us gripping it [Chorus: Both] Come closer, go colder, tell me what you came for One kiss, one warning, one foot by the door Round and round, we make a bad thing feel right You say “stay,” I say “leave,” then we do it all night [Verse 3: Male] There’s a cracked little saint on the dashboard shrine And your red nail tapping out a crooked time I hear the whole room lean when you say my name Like the walls know better than to call this love the same [Verse 4: Female] Don’t you play innocent, honey, you knew the score You left your good sense on my kitchen floor I got a soft side, sure, but it don’t come free You want the real me? Better keep up with me [Pre-Chorus: Both] Your name in my mouth like a dare I can’t quit Your hand on the wheel, both of us gripping it [Chorus: Both] Come closer, go colder, tell me what you came for One kiss, one warning, one foot by the door Round and round, we make a bad thing feel right You say “stay,” I say “leave,” then we do it all night [Bridge: Female, then Male] I saw your face in the motel glass But I was alone when the headlights passed You took my hand—your fingers were ice I heard my own voice say, “That’s not my wife” [Final Chorus: Both] Come closer, go colder, tell me what you came for One kiss, one warning, one foot by the door Round and round, we make a bad thing feel right You say “stay,” I say “leave”—then the room says it twice [Outro: Female] Baby, don’t turn around. I’m already in the mirror.
