The Way You Pull Me In
by Courtny
Lyrics
[INTRO — CLEAN ELECTRIC GUITAR, WARM AND SPARSE]
VERSE 1
You walked in wearing that half-smile
Like you knew what it'd do to me
I was halfway through a conversation
But I forgot what I meant to say
You pulled a chair a little closer
Your knee brushed mine beneath the light
And I've been trying to play it cool
Since you looked at me that night
VERSE 2
There's a softness in the way you touch me
A little fire behind your eyes
You don't have to say you're thinking of me
I can read it when you smile
And I ain't one for making promises
Just to hear the sound they make
But there's something in the way you hold me
That makes me want to stay
CHORUS
It's the way you pull me in
Like you know where I've been
Like you see right through the walls
I never let nobody get within
It's the way you say my name
Like it don't sound quite the same
When it's coming from your lips
And I can't pretend I'm not falling again
Oh, it's the way you pull me in
VERSE 3
We don't need a room full of people
We don't need a place to go
Give me your feet up on the dashboard
And a road we don't yet know
Let the night roll on around us
Let the radio play low
There's a thousand things I could be doing
But you're the only place I wanna go
CHORUS
It's the way you pull me in
Like you know where I've been
Like you see right through the walls
I never let nobody get within
It's the way you say my name
Like it don't sound quite the same
When it's coming from your lips
And I can't pretend I'm not falling again
Oh, it's the way you pull me in
[BRIDGE — BASS AND GUITAR, VOICE CLOSE AND LOW]
Come a little closer
Let the whole world disappear
I don't need to know tomorrow
I just want you right here
Let me learn the lines around your smile
Let me take my time
There's a thousand ways to say I want you
But your hand fits just right in mine
[FINAL CHORUS — SLIGHTLY FULLER, STILL RESTRAINED]
It's the way you pull me in
Every time you lean in
Every little look you give me
Makes me want to start again
It's the way you say my name
And I never feel the same
After one kiss in the dark
You're still the one I'm reaching for again
Oh, it's the way you pull me in
[OUTRO — GUITAR LINGERS, VOCALS ALMOST SPOKEN]
Come a little closer
Let me stay here for a while
I could spend a lifetime
Getting lost inside that smile.
