Quarterback Confidential (Claire POV) - goth raw

dark pop, alternative pop, minimal alt edge, intimate confessional electronic pop

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep my secrets in your teeth
I keep yours underneath my sheets
One wrong move and we both go down
We just can't stop sneaking around
(Lose my mind when you go down)

[Chorus]
If they knew where the captain sleeps
Whole damn city would never sleep
Golden boy tangled up with me
Saintclair scandal on every screen
You wear my fingerprints like pride
I wear your last name in my mind
Mutually assured destruction, baby
And God, we look good in the wreckage lately

[Verse 2]
Backroom blackout, tinted glass
Your hand low while the headlines pass
You tell me “they don’t deserve us anyway”
Kissing, kneeling, not to pray
Gossip circles, champagne mouths
Trying to figure us out
But they only see the polished version
Not the one that climbs through your window at 2 AM

[Pre-Chorus]
Everybody wants a story
(For the headlines, for the glory)
Nobody gets the real thing
You kiss me like I'm everything

[Chorus]
If they knew where the captain sleeps
Whole damn campus would lose their minds
Honor student on the quarterback’s sheets
Perfect future falling out of line
You wear my fingerprints like pride
I let you ruin my alibi
Mutually assured destruction, baby
But I’d still choose you every time

[Bridge]
You say my name like a dare
Like you want the whole world to hear it
But the danger only makes you prettier
And maybe that’s the worst part
I know exactly what this could cost
Still unlocking every door for you

[Final Chorus]
If they knew where the captain sleeps
If they saw the bruises under Saintclair silk
If they heard the way you beg for me
The way I crave you hopelessly
They’d burn our names into the hills
Golden heiress tangled up
(I'm yours to keep)
Black tie princess off the leash
Mutually assured destruction, baby
Tell me again we’re keeping this discreet

[Outro]
Quarterback confidential
Cross my heart, keep it classified
Till your hands are back on me again
(I breathe you in)
(You taste my skin)

[Verse 1] Whispers travel fast through marble halls Designer girls with sharpened claws Everybody watching who I leave with (They've never seen the way we kiss) Everybody watching who you touch While we're craving each other so much Secret grin across the crowded room Like we aren't each other's doom Your captain jacket on my chair My lipstick hidden underneath the collar there [Pre-Chorus] You keep my secrets in your teeth I keep yours underneath my sheets One wrong move and we both go down We just can't stop sneaking around (Lose my mind when you go down) [Chorus] If they knew where the captain sleeps Whole damn city would never sleep Golden boy tangled up with me Saintclair scandal on every screen You wear my fingerprints like pride I wear your last name in my mind Mutually assured destruction, baby And God, we look good in the wreckage lately [Verse 2] Backroom blackout, tinted glass Your hand low while the headlines pass You tell me “they don’t deserve us anyway” Kissing, kneeling, not to pray Gossip circles, champagne mouths Trying to figure us out But they only see the polished version Not the one that climbs through your window at 2 AM [Pre-Chorus] Everybody wants a story (For the headlines, for the glory) Nobody gets the real thing You kiss me like I'm everything [Chorus] If they knew where the captain sleeps Whole damn campus would lose their minds Honor student on the quarterback’s sheets Perfect future falling out of line You wear my fingerprints like pride I let you ruin my alibi Mutually assured destruction, baby But I’d still choose you every time [Bridge] You say my name like a dare Like you want the whole world to hear it But the danger only makes you prettier And maybe that’s the worst part I know exactly what this could cost Still unlocking every door for you [Final Chorus] If they knew where the captain sleeps If they saw the bruises under Saintclair silk If they heard the way you beg for me The way I crave you hopelessly They’d burn our names into the hills Golden heiress tangled up (I'm yours to keep) Black tie princess off the leash Mutually assured destruction, baby Tell me again we’re keeping this discreet [Outro] Quarterback confidential Cross my heart, keep it classified Till your hands are back on me again (I breathe you in) (You taste my skin)
