Context Clues Lyrics

Verse 1:
When you know you know
Your world breaks through the metronome
And suddenly time goes slow
I felt it 20 months ago
Even when it’s late at night
We’re drunk and we fight
We’re zero to hero to home

When I cry you cry
Contagion like our shoes are tied
Even when my feet tread high
And the mountain seems too tough to climb
Maybe when I’m glued to bed
By what lies ahead
I just need a moment alone with your eyes

Chorus 1:
Ooo to lower our voices
No screaming “I love you” from a rooftop on the moon
Ooo cuz no one would get it
The way that I make fun of your name laugh over you
And still you, you hold me like treasure
Like I’m a grenade who lost a pin, let go we’re doomed
Ooo let your words find shelter
I’m reading your context clues we’re heaven, tried and true
Me and you
Voiceover Interlude:
Mature love?
That's a new way of thinking about it
How can you tell when love is mature?
Well, mature love is more like

Verse 2:
When I wake I plan
But you're picture perfect effortless
Outta bed and grab my hand, my man
Our world our wish is our command
Winter got us bound inside
In a kitchen 34 inches wide
But 79 long, go put a record on, let’s dance


Bridge preview:
Dance to songs that make us feel sixteen again
Different now, used to cry, now we’re here reclaiming them
Making new memories outta our pain
Dance so long erasing all those olden days
Already Gone, Night We Met, Kesha Praying
Singing and you’re listening
Both of us get our ways

Chorus 2:
Ooo to lower our voices
No signing “I love you” on no piece of paper soon
Ooo cause no one would get it
No line read aloud, no kiss, no vow to measure you
And still you, you hold me like treasure
Hand in hand with the fuse, 5 4 3 2, you’d never move
Ooo let your words find shelter
I’m reading your context clues, we’re heaven, tried and true
Bridge:
Dance to songs that make us feel brand new again
Angels Like You and I Happiness and Butterflies, still feel High, Time of Our Lives ahead
Dance to songs that’ll curse our names if we catch a break:
Switch Me Off, won’t Knockout our Story cuz the End of the Road has NEWS, and our VIEW’S a lake
The greatest for sage

Voiceover Outro:
It's tender
Unselfish
Cooperative
And if you aren't sure, you can always ask yourself some questions
Do we feel at ease together?
