Watching You, AJ

Lyrics

[Verse 1] AJ, you leave your coat beside the door But you don't come home the way you did before A receipt from a diner across town Two coffees paid for, one name crossed out [Pre-Chorus] You say I'm making stories out of dust Then why does every detail point to us? [Chorus] I'm watching you, AJ Every move gives you away You can turn your phone face down But I know what that means now I'm watching you, AJ No more games you get to play If there's something I should know Say it plainly, let it show [Verse 2] Your sister called at quarter after ten Asked if you'd made it safely home again You froze with one hand on the kitchen chair Like a guilty thought had filled the air [Pre-Chorus] You say I'm making stories out of dust Then why is every promise losing trust? [Chorus] I'm watching you, AJ Every move gives you away You can turn your phone face down But I know what that means now I'm watching you, AJ No more games you get to play If there's something I should know Say it plainly, let it show [Bridge] I don't need a confession dressed in gold I need the truth before this room gets cold Look me in the eye and choose a side Don't make me be the one who says goodbye [Final Chorus] I'm watching you, AJ Every move gives you away No more turning silence round No more burying the sound I'm watching you, AJ This is where the mask gives way If there's something I should know Say it plainly, let it show [Outro] AJ, the door is open But the truth is closing in
