Lyrics
[Intro
(Yeah)
(Mmm)
3 AM and the city's dead
(Dead)
But you're wide awake inside my head
[Verse 1]
Keys on the counter, I don't even turn on the lights
(No lights)
I know the layout of your body better than my own life
(My own life, yeah)
You left your glass of water right where you always do
Room temperature, but it still tastes like you
(Tastes like you, babe)
I had a crowded room but I was staring at the door
Pacing the hardwood, ignoring the floor
(Ignoring it all)
Now I'm taking off my jacket, hearing you shift in the bed
Nothing needs to be said
(No, nothing at all)
[Pre-Chorus]
And they think I'm detached, they think I'm out of my mind
(Out of my mind)
But they don't see how you anchor me down every time
(Every time)
Just a shift in your breathing, a hand on my chest
This is the only place I get to rest
[Chorus]
So let the blinds stay drawn, let the phone keep ringing
(Let it ring, let it ring)
I'm done with the noise, I'm done with the pretending
(So done, babe)
You're the only truth in a room full of lies
(Only truth, yeah)
Look at me, look at me, look in my eyes
In the dark, it's just us, no cameras, no flash
(No flash)
We're burning it down, but we're saving the ash
(Saving the ash)
Don't let me go, no, don't let me go
[Verse 2]
(Ah, yeah)
You walk in smelling like smoke and expensive mistakes
(Mistakes, babe)
But I trace the exhaustion right under your eyes, and it breaks
(It breaks my heart)
I'm not naive, I know what you do when you're out on the hills
(On the hills, yeah)
But right here in the quiet, it's only me that you feel
(Only me)
You drop your guard when you think that I'm sleeping
But I'm wide awake, and the secrets you're keeping
(I know 'em all)
They bleed into the mattress, they sink in the sheets
But I'm the only one who makes you complete
(Complete, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
And they think you're detached, they think you're out of your mind
(Out of your mind, babe)
But I feel the way that you anchor me down every time
(Anchor you down, yeah)
Just a shift in my breathing, your hand on my chest
This is the only place we get to rest
[Chorus]
So let the blinds stay drawn, let the phone keep ringing
(Let it ring, let it ring)
I'm done with the noise, I'm done with the pretending
(So done, babe)
You're the only truth in a room full of lies
(Only truth, yeah)
Look at me, look at me, look in my eyes
In the dark, it's just us, no cameras, no flash
(No flash)
We're burning it down, but we're saving the ash
(Saving the ash)
Don't let me go, no, don't let me go
[Bridge]
Tell me you're mine when the sun comes up
(When the sun comes up)
Tell me you're mine when the cup is empty
(When it's empty, yeah)
I don't want the glamour, I don't want the rush
(No rush, no)
Just the sound of your heartbeat when the world goes hush
(Shh, listen)
Just the sound of your heartbeat when the world goes hush
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
So let the blinds stay drawn, let the phone keep ringing
(Let it ring, babe)
I'm done with the noise, I'm done with the pretending
(I'm so done)
You're the only truth in a room full of lies
(Only truth, yeah)
Look at me, look at me, look in my eyes
In the dark, it's just us, no cameras, no flash
(No flash, no flash)
We're burning it down, but we're saving the ash
(Saving the ash)
Don't let me go, no, don't let me go
[Outro]
When the world goes hush...
(Hush, babe)
Just you and me...
(Just us)
Keep the blinds drawn...
(Yeah...)
(Mmm...)
