[Verse 1] You stir your spoon too long In that tiny cup Eyes on the window But they keep sliding up To mine, then away Like you touched a flame Laugh at a nothing joke Then you say my name [Chorus] You talk sweet, sweet, sweet But you never say it Words dance round your tongue Then you pull them back You lean close, close, close Like you’re gonna claim it Then you sip that drink Change the subject fast All this honey on the high notes But the truth stays in your throat [Verse 2] You trace the rim of glass Slow, distracted line Ask where I’m walking home Even match my stride Your hand almost finds The back of mine in stride You fix your hair, then laugh “I’m just tired tonight” [Chorus] You talk sweet, sweet, sweet But you never say it Words dance round your tongue Then you pull them back You lean close, close, close Like you’re gonna claim it Then you sip that drink Change the subject fast All this honey on the high notes But the truth stays in your throat [Bridge] If I lean in, will you meet me? If I say it, will you breathe? Or will you turn that feeling Into steam, into steam (oh) [Chorus] You talk sweet, sweet, sweet But you never say it Words dance round your tongue Then you pull them back You lean close, close, close Like you’re gonna claim it Then you sip that drink Change the subject fast All this honey on the high notes Spilling over every joke All this honey on the high notes But the truth stays in your throat
