You talk like the night still owes you something I answer like I didn't already give it There's a hum under everything we say Low enough that nobody else would notice You keep circling the same three words I keep pretending I don't know which ones Don't say it clean, don't say it loud Say it like you're still deciding if I'm worth the trouble Leave it running, don't cut the tape I like the mess better when it isn't a name Leave it running, let it blur If they ask what this is, tell them you don't know for sure You come back mid-sentence like time didn't happen I pick up the thought I never finished You act like that's normal, maybe it is For us, you want another song, I want another minute Neither of us says that out loud Don't make it pretty, don't make it neat Keep the static in it, keep the heat Leave it running, don't cut the tape I like the mess better when it isn't a name Leave it running, let it blur If they ask what this is, tell them you don't know for sure Some things sound worse when you explain them Some things only work in the dark Between the lines you know which kind we are Leave it running, don't clean it up Don't put a title on the feeling, just let it play Leave it running until it fades If they only catch the hook they still won't know my name Leave it running, I won't stop it first
