Soft Launch Love

[Intro]

You laugh

I lie

Say “friends”

You sigh

[Verse 1]

You put your phone down

Finally look my way

Air in the front seat getting hard to fake

I feel my heartbeat runnin’ out of space

Every joke you throw

I’m two breaths away

[Pre-Chorus]

You say

“We’re trouble if we ever cross that line”

I play it cool but I’ve been crossing it in my mind

Every almost-touch feels loud inside

You don’t see it

But I’m screaming in the silence

[Chorus]

Are we just a soft launch love?

Hidden in the drafts of us

Pixelated almost-trust

Saving all the real for later

Are we more than best friend luck?

Teasing at the edge of “us”

If I hit “post

” do we blow up?

Or do we lose the life we made here?

Soft launch love

Are you scared of what we’d look like?

Soft launch love

Or are you waiting for the right time?

[Verse 2]

You send a picture

Cut your body out

I’m in the corner

Hand just halfway down

Caption is “hangin’ with somebody now”

Everybody likes it

Only I know how

[Pre-Chorus]

You say

“I don’t wanna ruin what we have”

But what if what we “have” is just the half?

We’re standing in the doorway

Lights all black

Do we step into the room or just turn back?

[Chorus]

Are we just a soft launch love?

Hidden in the drafts of us

Pixelated almost-trust

Saving all the real for later

Are we more than best friend luck?

Teasing at the edge of “us”

If I hit “post

” do we blow up?

Or do we lose the life we made here?

Soft launch love

Are you scared of what we’d look like?

Soft launch love

Or are you waiting for the right time?

[Bridge]

Maybe all we need’s one honest line (one honest line)

Say you feel it too

Just once out loud tonight (tonight)

If this is wrong

Then why’s it feel this right?

Tell me

Are we hiding

Or are we just aligning?

[Chorus]

Are we just a soft launch love?

Hidden in the drafts of us

Pixelated almost-trust

Saving all the real for later

Are we more than best friend luck?

Teasing at the edge of “us”

If I hit “post

” do we blow up?

Or do we lose the life we made here?

Soft launch love

Say you’re tired of the half-light

Soft launch love

Baby

Let’s be in the headline
