[Verse 1] Some nights I want the whole thing loose, The careful stack, the borrowed rules. One hard shove and every room Could turn to open, unmarked blue. I picture silence after the crash, A clean first line, no looking back. Then I catch your face inside that thought, And feel the cost of what I want. [Pre-Chorus] I want the rush, the falling frame, Then hear your voice inside the flame. [Chorus] I could let it all come down, Watch the pieces hit the ground. Start again with nothing planned— But I know who’d feel the landslide. I want out, I want the air, I want the nerve to not care. Then your hurt comes into view, And I stay because I care for you. [Verse 2] Not every crack means I should run, Not every ending clears the sun. I can want a different life Without making yours collateral. So I’ll loosen what has grown too tight, Change one true thing tonight. No grand escape, no scorched goodbye— Just a smaller, braver try. [Bridge] If I could start from zero, Would I miss the hands that held me? If I could burn the whole design, Would I call that freedom—or just leave you behind? [Final Chorus] I could let it all come down, Watch the pieces hit the ground. Start again with nothing planned— But I know who’d feel the landslide. I want out, I want the air, I want the nerve to not care. Then your hurt comes into view, And I stay because I care for you. [Outro] I don’t have to break the whole thing. I can change what isn’t working. I can want a different life— And still keep you in mine.
