respect

Lyrics

Verse 1
Blank page, blue screen
I’m stuck in between
Words that mean the same
But none of them say your name

I trace the lines
Over and over again
Little paper cuts
From trying to pretend

Pre-Chorus
And I keep looking
For a way in
Something simple
Something that lands

Chorus
Lorem ipsum, on my tongue
Say it back, let it run
Lorem ipsum, hold me there
In the middle of nowhere

Lorem ipsum, heart attack
Turn the front into the back
Lorem ipsum, stay with me
If it means nothing, let it breathe

Verse 2
Coffee rings on the desk
Half a note in red
I wrote “come close”
Then crossed it out instead

Your name hides
In the margin light
Like a secret beat
I can’t get right

Pre-Chorus
And I keep looking
For a way in
Something simple
Something that lands

Chorus
Lorem ipsum, on my tongue
Say it back, let it run
Lorem ipsum, hold me there
In the middle of nowhere

Lorem ipsum, heart attack
Turn the front into the back
Lorem ipsum, stay with me
If it means nothing, let it breathe

Bridge
Maybe I don’t need
The perfect line
Maybe I just need
You here tonight

One more try
One more spark
A little chaos
In the dark

Chorus
Lorem ipsum, on my tongue
Say it back, let it run
Lorem ipsum, hold me there
In the middle of nowhere

Lorem ipsum, heart attack
Turn the front into the back
Lorem ipsum, stay with me
If it means nothing, let it breathe
