How Did I Get Here

[Verse 1] I don't remember how much I drank Blink twice, I’m staring at your ceiling My shoes by the door, jacket on the chair You’re humming in the kitchen like we planned this evening You’re the one who said you liked me for months Little laughs, little looks in the hallway light Now you’re saying that you “found me passed out” But my shirt’s on wrong and the time ain’t right [Chorus] How did I get here, in your room, on your bed? With your hand on my chest, with your words in my head You keep saying that you “saved” me, saying this is fate But you can’t force love like this, you can’t call that grace How did I get here, and why can’t I shake This feeling that my trust is something you take? [Verse 2] You pour me water, say I scared you to death Smile sharp, then you soften your voice “You always call me when you’re lost like that” Funny thing is, I never had that choice I feel like this ain’t the first time, no Déjà vu on your lavender sheets All these pictures on your phone of me sleeping How many nights did you script this scene? [Chorus] How did I get here, in your room, on your bed? With your hand on my chest, with your words in my head You keep saying that you “saved” me, calling it a sign But you can’t force love like this, can’t rewrite my mind How did I get here, and why can’t I breathe With the way that you say you’d never, ever leave? [Bridge] You say, “I just took care of you” (took care?) I hear, “I made you stay right here” You say, “I’ve always loved you” (always) I hear every time I disappeared [Chorus] How did I get here, in your room, on your bed? Heart racing at the stories you’ve fed You keep wrapping what you wanted in a rescue tale But you can’t force love like this, that is not the same How did I get here, I’m walking away ‘Cause love don’t look like this in the cold light of day
