[Chorus] Tell me why you keep checkin’ up on me You closed that door, you don’t get to keep a key I’m out here livin’ like you said I’d never be Too busy movin’ on to really miss what you took from me [Verse 1] Whole place packed and the whole band’s loud Feel the dance floor shake when they sing it out Strangers up front know the words by heart When the chorus hits, I don’t miss where you are Phone stays down, I ain’t reachin’ out Doin’ all the things we only talked about Your friends talk big off a ten-second clip You know damn well what that camera missed [Acoustic Guitar and Drum Lift] Stage lights drop, then the crowd comes up One voice yellin’, “Turn that damn song up” Two-step loose while the snare drum hits Whole room leans when the hook kicks in [Chorus] Tell me why you keep checkin’ up on me You closed that door, you don’t get to keep a key I’m out here livin’ like you said I’d never be Too busy movin’ on to really miss what you took from me [Verse 2] I’ve been takin’ it slow, I don’t force what’s gone If it don’t fit my life, I keep movin’ on Folks talk brave from a screen all night They really study the ground when we’re eye to eye Same handful of friends in a rented van Tellin’ hard truths only old friends can Laughin’ too hard with the seats leaned back Talkin’ next year while the signs roll past [Verse 3 – Faster Cadence] Funny how the same ones said I’d never make it Know all the words now when all every station plays it You can learn the chords, you can copy the phrasing But you can’t fake a life and still sound this amazing! I ain’t worried ’bout who don’t really get me Same 3 friends still right there with me Hands shift up middle finger held high Four hundred strong singin’ with their hands up in the sky [Final Chorus] Tell me why you keep checkin’ up on me You closed that door, you don’t get to keep a key I’m out here livin’ like you said I’d never be Too busy movin’ on to really miss what you took from me Tell me why you keep checkin’ up on me Guess movin’ on ain’t where you thought I’d be Four hundred voices sing these words with me You don’t get to leave and still keep a key
