Midnight in My Chest

[Verse 1]
You pull me to the middle
Of a crowded spinning room
Laughing like it’s nothing
Like we never came unglued
My hands remember everything
Your hands pretend they don’t
You’re talking with your shoulders
Saying things your mouth won’t

[Pre-Chorus]
Every color
Blurs into you
I’m getting closer
Losing my cool

[Chorus]
This is our emotional dance
Heartbeats caught in the strobe
In the chaos
You touch me once and I crash
Smiling while I fall through the break of us
We keep on moving like we don’t stand a chance
But I’m still learning how to let go
In this emotional dance

[Verse 2]
You spin away in circles
With somebody at your side
I joke about the old days
While my stomach knots inside
You sway back in my direction
Like the song was calling you
Your eyes say “are you over it?”
Mine say “I wish that were true”

[Pre-Chorus]
Every color
Cuts like a truth
I’m getting sober
Right next to you

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
[low vocal register]
Hands up high
But my guard stays higher
Fake that smile
Like a practiced liar
[whispered vocals]
If this is healing
Why does it sting?
Why do I still feel everything?

[Chorus]
