Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro] [Verse 1] You called me on your way home
Said you had five minutes flat
I told you I was sleeping
You knew I wasn't
Just staring at the ceiling
Counting cracks above my head
[Pre-Chorus] I know you mean it
I know you're not lying
So why does my head
Keep inventing a reason to fight it
[Chorus] I don't know why
I keep looking for the catch
When you're standing right here
With your hand in mine like that
I don't know why
I want you and still run
Like the second I believe you
Something has to come undone
[Post-Chorus] I don't know why
I don't know why
Why I run
Why I run
[Verse 2] You remembered something small
A throwaway I gave at midnight
Three weeks in the dark
And I hated how it landed
How it made me smile
Scared to have a thing to lose
[Pre-Chorus] You don't have to fix me
You don't even have to try
But when you get too close
I start rehearsing goodbye
[Chorus] I don't know why
I keep looking for the catch
When you're standing right here
And you're looking at me like that
I don't know why
I want you and still run
Like the second I believe you
Something has to come undone
[Post-Chorus] I don't know why
I don't know why
Why I run
Why I run
[Bridge] Maybe nothing's wrong
Maybe that's the problem
I've waited so long
For the quiet after the fall
So when you say I'm here
I hear the door and the silence
But you're still standing
And I'm still learning
[Build] Maybe I don't need an answer
Maybe I just let it happen
[Guitar Solo] [Chorus] I know why
I keep looking for the catch
When you're standing right here
And I'm finally looking back
I don't know why
I still feel like I should run
But maybe I can stay here
Before I decide what comes
[Post-Chorus] I don't know why
I don't know why
Maybe I can stay
Maybe I can stay
[Outro] Maybe I can let it happen
Maybe I can let you stay
Maybe I don't have to lose you
Just because I don't know how to stay
