Read Between the Lines

Intro

(Low melodic hum)

Mm mm

You always do that thing with your eyes

Like you got something to say

Never say it though

Verse 1

You know my order know my favorite song

Know when to leave know when to play along

We got a habit of dragging things out

Both know the truth just don't say it out loud

Your perfume still caught in the sleeve of my jacket

You say you don't care but your tone says you're acting

I play it cool you can tell when I'm capping

We turn little moments to whole conversations

You got your pride I got mine

Both too stubborn to give up the fight

You leave me on read then you call me at night

We both know the pattern we just let it slide

Pre-Chorus

Why you gotta make it so complicated

One minute close next minute we strangers

I know your heart you know my weaknesses

We keep coming back like we never said it

Chorus

Read between the lines baby don't say too much

You can tell me that it's nothing but I know what's up

We don't gotta call it love we can leave it like that

But you know every time you leave you come running right back

Read between the lines I can see it in your face

You don't like to show emotion I can give you that space

We keep dancing around something neither wanna name

Tell me why it feels different every time you walk away

Verse 2

Late-night kitchen music playing low

You start talking 'bout things nobody else knows

I make you laugh now the tension gets strange

Funny how a little silence can change everything

You hate when I disappear into my head

I hate when you assume every word's what I meant

We could have a good thing if we let it exist

But we both got a talent for ruining the script

You say I'm hard to figure out

I say you like the chase

You know exactly what you're doing

When you look at me that way

No promises no predictions

Just your hand close to mine

We keep trying to avoid it

But we running out of time

Bridge

Maybe we don't need a label

Maybe we just need the truth

Maybe all this back-and-forth

Is just a way to hide the proof

You can act like you don't miss me

I can act like I don't care

But the room feels different

Every time you're standing there

Final Chorus

Read between the lines baby don't say too much

You can tell me that it's nothing but I know what's up

We don't gotta call it love we can leave it like that

But you know every time you leave you come running right back

Read between the lines I can see it in your face

You don't like to show emotion I can give you that space

We keep dancing around something neither wanna name

Tell me why it feels different every time you walk away

(Every time you walk away)

(Every time you walk away)

Outro

You don't gotta say it

I can tell

You know me too well

Mm mm
