Lyrics
[Verse 1] Midnight hums like a neon sign,
Your voice is the static in my headphones.
I trace the cracks in your coffee cup,
Wondering if I’m just a ghost you’ve run from.
Your laughter’s a rewind button,
But the tape keeps snapping in my hands.
I swear I saw you in the subway crowd,
But it was just a stranger with your hands.
[Pre-Chorus] You’re a firework in a room full of matches,
Burning bright but you don’t stick around.
I’m a moth with a broken compass,
Drawn to the flame but I’m not allowed.
[Chorus] Oh, you’re my electric heart,
Shocking every single part.
I should run but I don’t wanna,
‘Cause you’re the lightning in my hands.
Oh, we’re just a spark in the dark,
Fadin’ out like a shooting star.
I’d rewrite the sky for you,
If you’d just stay… just stay.
[Post-Chorus] Ooh, it hurts to love you,
But it hurts more to let you go.
Ooh, I’m a moth in your glow…
[Verse 2] Your jacket’s still on my bedroom floor,
Smells like your cologne and last summer’s rain.
I press it to my nose like a fool,
But you’re already gone again.
I saved your texts in a folder called “Maybe,”
But the battery’s dead and so’s my pride.
You said forever’s just a word we overuse,
Now I’m drownin’ in the tide.
[Pre-Chorus] You’re a firework in a room full of matches,
Burning bright but you don’t stick around.
I’m a moth with a broken compass,
Drawn to the flame but I’m not allowed.
[Chorus] Oh, you’re my electric heart,
Shocking every single part.
I should run but I don’t wanna,
‘Cause you’re the lightning in my hands.
Oh, we’re just a spark in the dark,
Fadin’ out like a shooting star.
I’d rewrite the sky for you,
If you’d just stay… just stay.
[Bridge] Maybe love’s just a borrowed high,
A temporary kind of beautiful lie.
But I’ll take the fall, I’ll take the pain,
Just to feel you one more time.
And if this is the last time I see you,
I’ll memorize the way you say my name.
‘Cause you’re the ghost in my rearview,
The echo in my favorite song’s refrain.
[Pre-Chorus (Big Build-Up)] You’re a firework in a room full of matches…
(Burning bright but you don’t stick around…)
I’m a moth with a broken compass…
(Drawn to the flame but I’m not allowed…)
[Final Chorus (Key Change)] Oh, you’re my electric heart…
(Now in a higher key, soaring!)
Shocking every single part.
I should run but I don’t wanna,
‘Cause you’re the lightning in my hands.
Oh, we’re just a spark in the dark…
(Let it ring out!)
Fadin’ out like a shooting star…
(Big finish!)
I’d rewrite the sky for you…
(Whispered, then belted!)
If you’d just stay… just stay…
[Outro (Fading Out)] Oh, you’re my electric heart…
(Fadin’ like a radio left on…)
I’d rewrite the sky for you…
(If you’d just stay… just stay…)
