Mismatched Keys

[Intro]
[Verse]
Gas station lights are a surgical white
Three years of silence died in the night
You bought a lighter, I bought a drink
The space in the aisle started to shrink
You looked like a ghost in a corduroy coat
The "sorry" got stuck in the back of my throat
[Pre-Chorus]
Neon is bleeding on chipped blue nails
The ghosting logic eventually fails
Seeing you there in the 4am haze
Reminded me why I went missing for days
[Chorus]
Fumbling here with these mismatched keys
I won’t get down on my shaking knees
You wanted a girl who was easy to hold
But I grew too sharp and I grew too bold
The lock is jammed and the hallway is cold
I’m glad I left before I was sold
[Verse]
You asked how I've been with a casual stare
Like you didn't leave me gasping for air
I saw that old flicker of shame in your eyes
The kind that used to cut me down to size
I didn't say much, I just put it in gear
Leaving the smell of your cheap souvenir
[Pre-Chorus]
Neon is bleeding on chipped blue nails
The ghosting logic eventually fails
Seeing you there in the 4am haze
Reminded me why I went missing for days
[Chorus]
Fumbling here with these mismatched keys
I won’t get down on my shaking knees
You wanted a girl who was easy to hold
But I grew too sharp and I grew too bold
The lock is jammed and the hallway is cold
I’m glad I left before I was sold
[Bridge]
I used to shrink to fit in your palm
I used to trade my fire for calm
Now the distortion is louder than you
The sky in the mirror is bruising to blue
I’m messy and jagged and finally free
You couldn't handle the wreckage of me
[Breakdown]
Four in the morning, the hallway is dim
The weight of the ghost is starting to skim
I drop the brass ring on the hardwood floor
I don't have to hide who I am anymore
The Wurlitzer wails like a siren in heat
I'm dancing alone on this dead-end street
[Chorus]
Fumbling here with these mismatched keys
I won’t get down on my shaking knees
You wanted a girl who was easy to hold
But I grew too sharp and I grew too bold
The lock is jammed and the hallway is cold
I’m glad I left before I was sold
[Post-Chorus]
I’m glad I left before I was sold
I’m glad I left before I was sold
I’m glad I left before I was sold
I’m glad I left before I was sold
[Outro]
