You taste like trouble and cheap red wine

Black boots kicking off the dashboard side
Your hair messed up and your friends outside
Small town talk but we move too fast
Everybody staring when we walk past

You laugh loud when the speakers break
Steal my jacket like a little game
Hands cold wrapped around my neck
You say “relax” then make a mess

Oh-oh
Don’t stop now
Oh-oh
Spin me around

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Yeah yeah)

Your lipstick on my cigarette
Your number in my head again
One look and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Taxi doors and buzzing amps
Cheap hotel and tangled hands
Your dance moves cutting through the room
Everybody watching you

Low lights flicker on your rings
You move sharp to the kick drum beat
Every word got attitude
God you make bad ideas look cool

No sleep
Heartbeat
Fast lane
On repeat

Kiss me when I’m lying
Tell me I’m your type
We can fake forever for a Friday night
(Hey hey)

Your perfume on my leather coat
You pull away then pull me close
One touch and I lose control
Like whoa-oh-oh

Bad habits look good on you
Too much smoke in the dressing room
Red lights blur when you bite your lip
Whole damn room start losing it

Kiss me when I’m lying
Dance into the light
Young hearts burning through the after-midnight
(Yeah yeah)

Your name stuck like a melody
Wild eyes full of energy
One kiss and the whole world spins
Again and again

Black boots
Backseat
Your laugh
Still on me

Prompt

Another one for Claire
Third one this week
I don’t know Claire
But apparently everyone else does

The first came from a dentist
The second from Marseille
Then a postcard with a bicycle
And nothing much to say

A catalogue from somewhere
A birthday card from June
Someone wrote I hope you finally
Did the thing you wanted to

I put them in a shoebox
Underneath the telephone
By October I knew Claire
Better than some people I had known

She buys books she never finishes
She owes somebody twenty-three
And someone named Luc keeps writing
Please call me when you’re free

Claire you’re getting mail again
Claire they think you still live here
Someone misses your handwriting
Someone thinks you disappeared

Claire I know it isn’t my business
But your life keeps coming through
In envelopes with my address
And every one belongs to you

Then Tuesday around seven
There was knocking at my door
A woman with a yellow umbrella
Said I think I lived here before

She looked at all the letters
Then laughed and covered her face
Said I left in such a hurry
I forgot to change the place

I handed her the shoebox
She sat down on the stairs
Said half of these I don’t want
You can keep the ones from Pierre

She took the dentist took Marseille
Left the birthday card with me
Then crossed out Luc’s old number
Said some people should stay history

Claire you got your mail again
Claire you finally came back here
Somebody kept your handwriting
Somebody knew you’d reappear

Claire it wasn’t any of my business
Still your life came passing through
In envelopes with my address
Till one Tuesday there was you

She left the umbrella
Took the box
Came back laughing
Twenty seconds later

I said Claire
You forget a lot

She said
That’s how I travel

Claire no more mail today
Claire no mystery to keep
Just an empty little shoebox
And the stairs beneath my feet

Claire I never knew your whole life
Only what the postman knew
Funny how a wrong address
Can introduce somebody to you

Thursday morning
One small envelope

My name this time

Lyrics

I used to leave the light on by the door
Kept your coffee warm like I had before
But you were always somewhere else in your mind

Left me talking to a ghost wasting my time
Folded all your lies like they were clean clothes

Put 'em in a drawer that's how this thing goes
I cried in the shower so you wouldn't hear
Now I don't even need to — baby I'm clear

I gave you rivers you gave me drought
Spent so long wondering what love's about
But the woman in the mirror finally spoke
Said "baby you're the fire — he was just smoke"

I'm not broken I'm just done
(yeah yeah)
I was the moon you were blocking my sun
(mmh)

You thought leaving me would make me fall apart
(uh uh)
Boy you left — but you didn't take my heart
No you didn't take my heart

(ohhh)

I see you now when you walk through the room
Different energy like you shed the gloom
I won't pretend that I don't feel the weight
Of every choice I made a little too late
(background whisper: "too late… too late…")
You were patient like a Sunday in June
I was reckless chased a different tune
And now I'm standing here on the outside damn
Watching you become everything you planned

She gave me rivers I gave her drought
Now I'm the one standing here in doubt
And the man in the mirror finally broke
Said "she was the fire — you were just smoke"

I'm not broken I'm just done
(let it go let it go)
I was the moon you were blocking my sun
(mmh yeah)
You thought leaving me would make me fall apart
(never that)
Boy you left — but you didn't take my heart
You didn't take my heart
(no no no…)

There were nights I almost called
(almost…)
Fingers on your name then I'd stall
(stall…)
But every time I stopped myself I grew
(grew…)

Into someone I love more than I loved you
(bass begins to swell)
More than I loved you
(mmh)
More — than — I — loved — you

(yeah)

I'm not broken I'm just new
(just new just new)
Everything I lost was just a clue
(clue ohhh)
You thought leaving me would dim my light
(can't dim this)
Boy you left —
(he left)
And baby I ignite
(I ignite I ignite)
I ig-nite
(ohhhh)
Mmmmh…
(still standing…)
Still standing

I’m calling from a room with peeling paint
A radio coughing out the truth
The kettle screams like it knows my name
Coins on the table none of them are you

The line is bad the night is worse
Somewhere a ferry cuts the dark in two
I got your number on a matchbook
And a voice that still remembers you

The operator’s half asleep
She says “Sir you still there?”
I say “Yeah I’m breathing smoke and prayers
Trying to get through anywhere”

This is a long distance line from the Bosphorus
I got one minute maybe less
If the city don’t swallow my words whole
You’ll hear me say I did my best

Yeah it’s a long distance line from the Bosphorus
The signal shakes the past comes through
If this call drops into the water
Just know I was calling you

There’s a man downstairs selling broken watches
Says time owes him money too
Every streetlight flickers like a bad idea
Every bar knows something I won’t tell you

I saw your face in a cracked mirror
Right next to a stain on the wall
I tried to hang up three times already
But this phone just won’t let me fall

This is a long distance line from the Bosphorus
The clock’s got a loaded gun
If I disappear between the numbers
Just say I was almost done

Hello?
Yeah… it’s me
Listen don’t say my name
The walls here got ears
And the night’s taking notes

It’s a long distance line from the Bosphorus
Static dancing in my head
If you hear silence after this
That’s just the things I never said

The operator counts me down
Five… four… the river wins
Click

Your laugh carves through the haze
Like sunlight in a frozen frame
I walked the road of fire and blades
Traced the letters of your name

Through storms that raged and skies that bled
Every fight every word unsaid

I carry your love like a shield I wear (a fortress unbroken)
Through the fight through despair you're always there (my constant flame)
No chain can bind no storm can tear (unyielding undying)
You're the reason I breathe this air

A fleeting glance the spark remains
In the shadows your light sustains

You held me close when the dark would call
Fingers traced where my fears would crawl
Every stumble was a climb to fall
Every smile was the reason for it all
(the reason for it all)

We bent but never broke in two
Each wound healed stronger thanks to you

I carry your love like a shield I wear (a fortress unbroken)
Through the fight through despair you're always there (my constant flame)
No chain can bind no storm can tear (unyielding undying)
You're the reason I breathe this air

Through the ashes through the fire
You’re the spark my sole desire

The fight may end the road may turn
But for your love my heart will burn

You left your coat I kept the thread
It hums like static in my head

I folded time in a paper cup
Sipped your voice till the world shut up
You never said stay but you looked like wait
And I built an echo from that mistake

I don’t call it love — it’s too well-behaved
This is something the maps misplace

Na na na na — na-na na-na-na
Na na na — na-na-na-na
Na na na na — na-na-na-naaa
Na na na na — naaaa

You hum in keys no piano dares
I lose my name climbing up your stairs
Your silence flickers it writes in loops
Still I read it like sacred proof

I won’t label this — it won’t stay still
It moves like weather talks in quills

Na na na na — na-na na-na-na
Na na na — na-na-na-na
Na na na na — na-na-na-naaa
Na na na na — naaaa

You said “don’t read me I’m not that deep”
But I saw planets in your sleep
I don’t need stars I don’t need maps
Just that hum between the gaps

Na na na na — na-na na-na-na
Na na na — na-na-na-na
Na na na na — na-na-na-naaa
Na na na na — naaaa

I let you vanish but not the hum
Some chords don’t end — they just become

Me caí mil veces sí
Pero aquí sigo—sin pedir perdón

Crecí donde el sol no llegaba
Donde el pan se ganaba con rabia
Aprendí que el silencio castiga
Y que el orgullo también abriga

No heredé fortuna ni mapa
Solo cicatrices y una capa
De fe que nadie me dio
Pero que en mí… nunca faltó

No me doblo aunque el viento me grite
Aunque el mundo me quite
Lo que un día llamé hogar
No me doblo aunque sangren los pasos
Aunque pierda mil abrazos
Mi alma no se va a quebrar

Me dijeron: “No sueñes tan alto”
Pero el cielo no tiene contrato
Y si caigo que sea bailando
Con los puños al sol cantando

No busco piedad ni medalla
Solo dejar huella en la batalla

No me doblo aunque el viento me grite
Aunque el mundo me quite
Lo que un día llamé hogar
No me doblo aunque sangren los pasos
Aunque pierda mil abrazos
Mi alma no se va a quebrar

Y si mañana no amanece
Yo seré quien lo enciende
Con mi voz y con mi piel
Porque rendirse no se aprende

No me doblo ni aunque el tiempo me borre
Ni aunque nadie me nombre
Yo sabré quién fui al final
No me doblo… y si muero de pie
Será sabiendo que amé
Sin miedo sin callar

There’s a pulse that keeps dividing me
Two rhythms fighting underneath

One side wants order keeps the lines so straight
The other sparks fires wants to detonate
I move through the evening with a crowded mind
Trying to decode what I can’t define

I’m standing at the center
Where signals overlap
Trying not to surrender
To the louder half

Tune me to a steady wave
Pull me where the noise behaves
I’m drifting through a world I crave
But breaking when the signals change
Tune me to a steady wave
Balance all the parts I save
I’m fading into what I brave
When both of me collide again

Thoughts turn metallic when the pressure grows
Patterns fall apart then they recompose
I’m chasing a structure that I can’t commit
Every time I form it something ruins it

I’m standing at the center
Where signals overlap
Trying not to surrender
To the louder half

Tune me to a steady wave
Pull me where the noise behaves
I’m drifting through a world I crave
But breaking when the signals change
Tune me to a steady wave
Balance all the parts I save
I’m fading into what I brave
When both of me collide again

If there’s a place between the sides
I’ll walk the thin divide
Waiting for the moment
Both frequencies align

Time stands still in the quiet of your name
I search for you inside the flame
Your voice a light I couldn’t tame
But still I follow just the same

Take me back to the silence
Where stars once knew my face
Your shadow’s gone
But the warmth still holds its place

I rise I fall I feel it all
The beat the pulse the siren call
Through night and sky I hear your soul
Calling me home… making me whole

Calling me home
Calling me home
