Verse 1
Phone lights the dash like it knows something I don't University Drive at 2:17, rain doing that slow dance on the glass She in the passenger, window cracked just enough for the night to touch her face I told myself last time was the last time, but the lie already taste like old coffee Her laugh got a crack in it that matches the one in my chest when the check engine light blinks She don't ask where we going, she just watch the road like she already been there I keep both hands on the wheel but one of 'em keep drifting toward the console where her hand rest The city do that thing where it look pretty from far but up close it just look tired She say my name like she testing how it sit in her mouth I answer like I'm still deciding if I want it back The AC hum louder than the radio, but neither one of us reach to turn nothing down
Chorus
Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle You not like anyone else I ever met The rain keep tapping like it tryna tell me something The lights keep changing but I ain't in no rush to move yet
Verse 2
Last week I ignored three calls from the homies just to see if her name would pop up Told myself it was about timing, but timing been a excuse since I was seventeen She move through a room like the room already owe her something I watch how people watch her and I feel something that ain't quite jealousy but close She got a past that walk two steps behind her and she don't try to hide it I got a past that I pay to keep quiet and she look at me like she willing to pay too She buy two waters and one blunt, split the difference without asking I sit in the car and watch her through the glass like I'm studying for a test I already failing She come back smelling like rain and whatever she been running from When she get in she don't explain, she just put her hand on my knee like that's the explanation I don't move it
Chorus
Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle And I still can't find the exit off this exit Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle You the only one who ever made the armor feel heavy
Bridge
I been good at keeping distance Good at making sure nobody get close enough to see where the cracks actually are You pull up and the whole system start glitching Like maybe I been surviving instead of living and you the first one to say it out loud without saying it I don't know if I'm ready for what you asking without asking But I also don't know if I'm ready for what happens if I keep pretending I don't hear it The car feel smaller than it did when we started
Verse 3
Morning come and the rain still there but lighter She asleep in the passenger like she trust the car not to crash while she rest I watch the way her chest rise and fall and I feel something that scare me more than any repo or court date She wake up, look at me, don't say good morning, just say "you still here" Like that's the question she been holding since last night I nod She nod back We both know this ain't about staying or leaving It's about whether I can keep lying to myself that I don't already know how this end The sun hit the wet street like it's trying to make the night look honest She reach over, turn the radio up just enough The song that come on got a melody that sound like the question I been avoiding She don't sing along She just let it play
Chorus
Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle You not like anyone else I ever met Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle And I still can't find the exit off this exit The rain keep tapping like it tryna tell me something The lights keep changing but I ain't in no rush to move Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle You the only one who ever made the armor feel heavy
Outro
You more trouble than I can handle... But I keep both hands on the wheel anyway You not like anyone else... And maybe that's the whole problem [Loop] Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle. You not like anyone else I ever met. Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle. And I still can't find the exit off this exit. The rain keep tapping like it tryna tell me something. The lights keep changing but I ain't in no rush to move. Why do I feel like you more trouble than I can handle. You the only one who ever made the armor feel heavy.
