[Verse 1] My heart, you’ve been provokin You lean in like a dare We count the freckles on each other's skin Like treasure laid out there You turn me cold, then warm You pull me out the frame I keep my cool for one more bar Then you spark me up again [Pre-Chorus] Check the score, I never sweat I keep my face unread But when you brush right past my guard I lose the words I said 19 hours and twenty minutes to go I’m pacing my own floor I hear that piano in my chest And I keep coming back for more [Chorus] My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin We count the freckles on each other's skin Each other's skin Your love was never true But I still step in time for you My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin [Verse 2] You laugh like you know my tricks Then cut me with a glance I act all cool, I act all dry Then I fall right in the dance Check the score, I never sweat That’s what I like to say But every time you slide too close I lose my edge away nah i m not going to make it ao apparently i am funnier when i am tired So I joke and I drift and I drag my feet Till your voice pulls me back in line [Pre-Chorus] Check the score, I never sweat I keep my face unread But when you hit that tender spot I hear you in my head 19 hours and twenty minutes to go I’m counting every beat I wear my pride like it can save me But it slips right off my sleeve [Chorus] My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin We count the freckles on each other's skin Each other's skin Your love was never true But I still step in time for you My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin [Bridge] And if I sound half gone That’s the hour talking I’m laughing at the mess I made While you keep on walking No big speech, no rescue line Just that bright old chord I let it hit, I let it bite And I want it even more [Chorus] My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin We count the freckles on each other's skin Each other's skin Your love was never true But I still step in time for you My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin [Outro] My heart, you’ve been provokin Provokin, provokin We count the freckles on each other's skin Each other's skin
