Lyrics

Woke up in the house we built, framed by picture-perfect smiles
Kids laughing down the hallway, yeah, we did it right for a while
But I see you in the rearview, every thought I push away
The way you looked last Friday night, it's been haunting me for days
I tell myself it's nothing, just a flicker in my mind
But every time we're closer, I can feel it in your eyes
I wanna grab you, kiss you, pull you in, but I hold back
Wanna tell you every single thought, but I hold back
If I break the silence, yeah, I might just lose it all
So I hold back, yeah, I hold back I hold back yes I hold back
Stayed up staring at the pictures on my phone
Flashes of a life that never happened, but feels like home
And when we talk, it's effortless, I swear we fit so perfectly
And if I reach, if I fall, will you catch me?
I tell myself it's nothing, just a flicker in my mind
But every time we're closer, I can feel it in your eyes
I wanna grab you, kiss you, pull you in, but I hold back
Wanna tell you every single thought, but I hold back
If I break the silence, yeah, I might just lose it all
So I hold back, yeah, I hold back I hold back yes I hold back
When we're together, we stay up late, squeezing all the time we can
Every second feels like hours, but it's never enough in the end
We talk in whispers, dance around the things we'll never say
One wrong move and it all goes up, it all goes up in flames
Yeah it all goes up in flames
I tell myself it's nothing, just a flicker in my mind
But every time we're closer, I can feel it in your eyes
I wanna grab you, kiss you, pull you in, but I hold back
Wanna tell you every single thought, but I hold back
If I break the silence, yeah, I might just lose it all
So I hold back, yeah I hold back I hold back yes I hold back
Maybe in another life, I wouldn't hesitate
Maybe in another time, you'd be my great escape
Maybe in another life, I wouldn't hesitate
Maybe in another time, you'd be my great escape
