Fault Line Heart

We were kids in a parking lot

Laughing hard at a dead-end town

You drew maps on a coffee cup

Said

"One day

This all burns down"

Every promise on your denim sleeve

Every summer in your eyes

Thought the ground would never move on me

Then it cracked between our lives

You’re my fault line heart

Shaking me apart

I keep standing where it splits

Where it breaks and never quits

You’re my fault line heart

Tearing me in shards

I keep dancing in the dark

On a fault line heart

You moved out with the first cold rain

Left your keys in the kitchen sink

Found your note by the window frame

Just three words: "Don’t overthink"

All your records still warped with heat

Spin the ghosts of what we were

Every chorus just repeats

How I still revolve round her

Maybe I like the danger

Sleeping this close to the edge

Every crack makes me feel something

Every tremor wakes the dead

If loving you is the aftershock

Then I’ll crawl through every scar

Screaming out in the silence

"Stay my fault line heart"
