right heart, wrong time

We talk like it's easy, like it's not hard

To stay on the edge and not fall too far

You say "we're just friends" and I nod like I mean it

But every "goodnight" has a secret beneath it

I laugh at your jokes like they're not pulling strings

Like you're not the chorus to all of my things

And maybe I'm selfish, but maybe you are

We orbit too close just to call it a star

You're the right heart, wrong time

A glitch in the lines

I keep dancing around

But I still cross mine

Can't keep you

Can't lose you

I'm caught in between

I get high off your love like a dopamine dream

Don't go

Don't go

Just don't go too far

Be my always

Even if you can't be my start

I see our lives like two subway trains

Passing at midnight through windowpanes

You're chasing the future, I'm tied to today

And no matter how I beg time, it won't stay

You hold my hand like a maybe's enough

But I memorize touches like they're made of love

And I try not to hope, but I breathe you in

Every smile, every sigh feels like original sin

You're the right heart, wrong time

A glitch in the lines

I keep dancing around

But I still cross mine

Can't keep you

Can't lose you

I'm caught in between

I get high off your love like a dopamine dream

Don't go

Don't go

Just don't go too far

Be my always

Even if you can't be my start

If fate's a bitch, then I'm biting back

I'll take the scraps if I can't have the map

Call me your safety, your soft kind of true

I'll settle for pieces if they're pieces of you

You're the right heart, wrong time

I've made peace with the crime

Of loving you gently

While you're never mine

So stay

Please stay
