Late Check-In

[Verse 1]
You text me
"are you up?"
2 a.m
I already knew
You only call on the nights
You can't outrun the truth

You say you "don't need much"
Just a place you can feel seen
You leave your shoes by my door
But your heart stays in between

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep saying this is casual
But you're shaking when you say my name
You keep promising it's practical
Then you kiss me like you'll never be the same

[Chorus]
You treat my bed like a late check-in
Come and go
But you stay in my skin
Tell me it's nothing
Then pull me closer again
Oh
Every night
Same story
Leave with your lips
But you take my morning
You treat my love like a late check-in
But I feel you like you live here

[Verse 2]
You ask
"do you ever think
'Bout us in the daylight
Though?"
Laugh it off as you turn
To hide what your eyes show

You trace circles on my chest
Like you're drawing out your name
Then you disappear at sunrise
Sayin' "I don't wanna play games"

[Pre-Chorus]
You keep calling this a habit
But your heartbeat's giving you away
You keep acting like it's average
Then you whisper that you wish you could stay

[Chorus]
You treat my bed like a late check-in
Come and go
But you stay in my skin
Tell me it's nothing
Then pull me closer again
Oh
Every night
Same story
Leave with your lips
But you take my morning
You treat my love like a late check-in
But I feel you like you live here (live here, yeah)

[Bridge]
What if you stayed past noon?
What if you didn't run?
What if you let this room
Be more than just your in-between
Your hit-and-run?

[Chorus]
You treat my bed like a late check-in
Come and go
But you stay in my skin
Tell me it's nothing
Then pull me closer again (come closer)
Oh
Every night
Same story
Leave with your lips
But you take my morning
You treat my love like a late check-in
But I feel you like you live here
Yeah
You feel like you live here
