[intro] [Spoken:] Funny how it always starts the same way, doesn’t it? [verse 1] I say the wrong thing at the wrong time You tilt your head, reading between my lines I swear I was just asking simple stuff But the air gets thick, like that's never enough We both know this drill too well Walking on nerves, pacing our private hell But love ain’t clean, love ain’t soft Sometimes you bleed just to shake the dust off [chorus] It’s the spiral we know— Anxieties that spark a fight That cracks us open late at night Leads to truths we try to hide Then the tears roll in, side by side And somehow, before the morning’s done We’re laughing again, hearts undone [verse 2] You say, “I wasn’t mad about the milk.” I say, “I wasn’t really mad about you being mad.” We chase each other in circles of guilt 'Til the walls fall down and the truth ain’t so bad It’s never about the small things, is it? It’s about all the years we didn’t visit The quiet spaces, the swallowed fears That bubble up when love’s too near [chorus] It’s the spiral we know— Anxieties that spark a fight That cracks us open late at night Leads to truths we try to hide Then the tears roll in, side by side And somehow, before the morning’s done We’re laughing again, hearts undone [bridge] [Spoken:] I guess it’s just our way of saying “I still want you close enough to hurt me.” [final chorus] It’s the spiral we know— Anxieties that spark a fight That cracks us open late at night Leads to truths we try to hide Then the tears roll in, side by side And somehow, before the morning’s done We’re laughing again, hearts undone [end]
