Love Me Furtive

Songtext

[Verse 1] You slip through the room like you owe it no name One hand on your glass, one eye on the flame I catch your reflection before you turn You smile like a secret I’m scared to learn You say, “Don’t make this complicated” I say, “Then why does my pulse keep changing?” Your coat by the door, my key in your hand We leave no evidence, but I understand [Pre-Chorus] No promises, no photographs Just a little heat we can’t take back If the morning asks where you’ve been Tell it we were never more than friends [Chorus] Meet me where the room gets quiet Where your name feels safe in my mouth We can move like a rumor through the night Disappear before the truth comes out You’re a flash, then you’re gone again But I feel you under my skin No, we don’t need forever tonight Just love me furtive, love me out of sight [Verse 2] You text with a period, I know what it means “Come downstairs” has a thousand degrees I take the back stairs, you take the side street Two little ghosts with a dangerous heartbeat I know your favorite song, not your favorite lie Know how you look when you’re trying goodbye You call me “bad timing,” I call you at ten We break our own rules, then make them again [Rap Verse] Low-key, no trace, keep the location off Your lipstick on my collar, but the collar gets lost No names in the chat, no tags on the post You’re the one little secret that I want the most I don’t need a label, I can read your eyes Every half-truth dances when you step inside If this is a mistake, let the mistake run wild You’re a stolen minute with a dangerous smile [Pre-Chorus] No promises, no photographs Just a little heat we can’t take back If the morning asks where you’ve been Tell it we were never more than friends [Chorus] Meet me where the room gets quiet Where your name feels safe in my mouth We can move like a rumor through the night Disappear before the truth comes out You’re a flash, then you’re gone again But I feel you under my skin No, we don’t need forever tonight Just love me furtive, love me out of sight [Bridge] If you leave before the sun gets near Leave your shadow, leave your perfume here I won’t ask what happens after this I’ll just memorize the way you kissed [Final Chorus] Meet me where the room gets quiet Where your name feels safe in my mouth We can move like a rumor through the night Disappear before the truth comes out You’re a flash, then you’re gone again Still I let you under my skin No, we don’t need forever tonight Just love me furtive, love me out of sight [Outro] Out of sight, but never out of mind One more secret, one more borrowed night
