Halfway House Heart

[Verse 1]

You hit my phone on a Tuesday

“Got your hoodie

Can I swing through?”

You say you miss how my place feels

But you never say you miss me too

You pour a drink

Take the good seat

Feet on my couch like it’s still yours

You laugh at jokes from a past life

Then leave your ring on my bedroom floor

[Chorus]

This that halfway house heart that you stay in

Come and crash for a night

Then you cave in

You keep all of your ghosts in my blankets

Then you dip when it starts getting real

You make love like you’re signing a lease here

But you’re gone when the sunlight appears

This that halfway house heart that you stay in

Check in

Check out

Never heal

[Verse 2]

You read my texts like a timeline

Scrollin’ through what we never fixed

You kiss my neck like an alibi

Soft and slow

Then you start to glitch

You say

“I hate how you know me”

Then pull me close like a souvenir

You promise “this is the last time”

You’ve said that three damn times this year (yeah)

[Chorus]

This that halfway house heart that you stay in

Come and crash for a night

Then you cave in

You keep all of your ghosts in my blankets

Then you dip when it starts getting real

You make love like you’re signing a lease here

But you’re gone when the sunlight appears

This that halfway house heart that you stay in

Check in

Check out

Never heal

[Bridge]

You don’t call it leaving

You just “gotta clear your head”

You don’t call it using

But you only love my bed

You don’t call it heartbreak

If you never really choose

You just call it staying over

Till there’s nothing left to lose (oh)

[Chorus]

This that halfway house heart that you stay in

Come and crash for a night

Then you cave in

You keep all of your ghosts in my blankets

Then you dip when it starts getting real

You make love like you’re signing a lease here

But you’re gone when the sunlight appears

This that halfway house heart that you stay in

Check in

Check out

Never heal
