歌詞

I tap through with my left hand

Face low, coat black

The gate lets out a small click

Like it knows what I held back

Metro card in the same pocket

Where your name still stays

I keep walking with the crowd

Like I did not almost say

It was right there

Behind my teeth

One clean truth

Underneath

Turnstile Confession

I heard it when the metal moved

Turnstile Confession

I swallowed it and walked from you

No one turned around

No one saw my mouth go still

But I said it somewhere

And I think I always will

Platform light on my eyelids

Train wind cuts my hair

Everybody looks half-lost

Like we all left something there

I could text you from the stairs

I could make it sound small

But the sentence had a body

And I felt it hit the wall

It was not loud

It was not brave

Just your name

I could not save

Turnstile Confession

I heard it when the metal moved

Turnstile Confession

I swallowed it and walked from you

No one turned around

No one saw my mouth go still

But I said it somewhere

And I think I always will

Maybe the city heard me

Before you ever could

Maybe the gate kept count

Of what I understood

I paid to leave the moment

I paid to look composed

But every little click

Kept saying what I chose

Turnstile Confession

I heard it when the metal moved

Turnstile Confession

I swallowed it and walked from you

No one turned around

No one saw my mouth go still

But I said it somewhere

And it followed me through
