Lyric

A little out of line

Your shadow next to mine

No need to say a word

I catch it in the silence

You leave your glass beside my hand

Like there’s a code I understand

Your silver ring against the light

Keeps turning every time I look away

The conversation changes shape

You smile a second just too late

I let the record do the talk

And watch you count the spaces when we walk

Wait

Don’t make it obvious

Stay

A little dangerous

One breath

Between the yes and no

Say less

Let the rhythm show

Read the room, read the room

You don’t gotta say it

Move like you, move like you

Know I can’t escape it

Left, right, lean in close

Everybody sees it

Read the room, read the room

Don’t stop, don’t stop

Uh-huh, you know

Uh-huh, don’t go

One look, two steps

No words, all tells

Uh-huh, you know

Keep it on the low

Read the room

Read the room

Your little laugh lands off the beat

You tap a secret with your feet

I switch the subject, you switch sides

We keep the truth in different alibis

The lights go soft, the floor stays warm

You wear your calm like it’s a uniform

No grand confession, no big scene

Just one small move that says what you mean

Wait

The room is listening

Stay

Don’t ruin everything

One breath

The needle almost slows

Say less

Let the rhythm show

Read the room, read the room

You don’t gotta say it

Move like you, move like you

Know I can’t escape it

Left, right, lean in close

Everybody sees it

Read the room, read the room

Don’t stop, don’t stop

No names on the receipt

No promises to keep

You draw a circle round the truth

Then leave the pen with me

Maybe it’s a game

Maybe it’s a sign

You look across the room

And let me read between the lines

Read the room, read the room

You don’t gotta say it

Move like you, move like you

Know I can’t escape it

Left, right, lean in close

Everybody sees it

Read the room, read the room

Don’t stop, don’t stop

Uh-huh, you know

Uh-huh, don’t go

One look, two steps

No words, all tells

Read the room

Read the room
