From the second we met, I knew you'd be significant

Started out as a friend, something was different

Folding laundry on the basement floor and splitting a cigarette

But only when we're drinking 'cause we swore on that

Never said it out loud, secretly I was wishing it

But it was too hot to touch, double edged

You were in my gut, now you're stuck in my head

Can't sleep it off, been wondering

Maybe if we never bet on better timing

Waiting for the other one to break the silence

Holding our breath until we turned blue

Then we woulda made it to the other side and

Even if we failed at least we'd know we tried it

I always wanted it to be you and I

Now I'm caught up in the backfire

If I could do it all over

I woulda kissed you in the lobby that night waiting out the storm

Maybe then we'd be closer

But I've been too afraid to lose you so I'm taking you in any form

Too hot to touch, double edged

You were in my gut, now I'm stuck in my bed

Can't sleep it off, still wondering

Maybe if we never bet on better timing

Waiting for the other one to break the silence

Holding our breath until we turned blue

Then we woulda made it to the other side and

Even if we failed at least we'd know we tried it

I always wanted it to be you and I

Oh, and if we did it all again

And nothing was the same

Would we end up here anyway?

Maybe if we never bet on better timing

Waiting for the other one to break the silence

Holding our breath until we turned blue

Then we woulda made it to the other side and

Even if we failed at least we'd know we tried it

I always wanted it to be you and I

Now I'm caught up in the backfire

Caught up in the backfire

Caught up in the backfire

I always wanted it to be you and I
