Yaj - Jenga Lyrics

We only called it "love" in the night time
That anxious word only lived in our shadows
And every night as the world slept
We set the table for two
Taking turns unraveling
Growing up before each other's eyes

I
I wrote poems for you
Before i even knew the power in that
I wrote lines about the boy who was honey
And kept them underneath my tongue for your rainy days

And you
You painted clouds on my skin, remember?
Painted clouds until i became the sky
So that even when you held me
I always felt free

We
We gave our youth to this summer love
And even though it was broken
We were unafraid
We found a way to make a home between the cracks

Loving me was drowning in open water
Loving you was learning to say goodbye

I wore your scent
Your clothes
Your hands
More than i did my own name, remember?
You wore your heart far away from your sleeve
But mine in the palm of your hand

And we painted a pretty picture
Kids at the mercy of young emotions
Evolving but tethered
Growing but aimless
And even though we were broken
We were comfortable
Loving in a language we didn't understand
Saying only what we meant
Or so we thought

But we only called it "love" in the night time
That is until the feeling grew so heavy
It cracked me open
That anxious word
Tumbled it's way into the daylight
(Wondering)
And somehow we went
From playing with cards
(What you're)
To playing with hearts
(Doing)
Somehow, we've become something else
(Susan)
A little less a little more
(Can I)
You stopped looking for reasons to stay
And i stopped trying to make you
(Come Home)
But in this game for two
You'll always have the upper hand

Kids, so young, so wild and bent
So scared, so passionate
We would have our fill back then
Back then, back when

Listen up, listen good
I could tell you that I hate you
I could tell you that I love you
I could tell you it all
Just know you're always on my mind

We play Jenga, we play cards
We could rise, we could fall
We could crash and burn tomorrow
We could really have it all
Just know you're always on my mind

Oooooooohhhh ayyyyyyyyy
Hey hey
Hey hey
Always
Always on my mind
