Lyrics

[VERSE 1]
Late night, and the air feels heavy
neon on my skin like it’s trying to tell me
walk away now, don’t fall in deep
but the heat in the room’s got a hold on me
Every red flag’s glowing like a warning sign
but I’m already leaning past the borderline
I can taste the trouble on the edge of your name
and I’m stepping in closer all the same

[PRE‑CHORUS]
There’s a pull in the dark I can’t outrun
like a spark in the wire when the fuse comes undone
I know better than to play with this fire
but the burn in my chest keeps lifting me higher

[CHORUS]
It’s bad for me… but I want it
Every part of me knows I shouldn’t touch it
It’s bad for me… but I want it
Yeah, the danger hits sweet--
"So sweet"
--and I can’t rise above it
And I’m falling right into the heat of the moment

[VERSE 2]
Heartbeat running like a midnight engine
every step I take pulls me deeper in it
I see the fallout waiting at the end of the line
but the rush in my blood says it’s worth the crime
I’m a moth to the flame and I know the script
still I’m tracing the fire with my fingertips
If I crash and burn, then I crash and burn—
guess some lessons I never learn

[PRE‑CHORUS]
There’s a pull in the dark I can’t outrun
like a spark in the wire when the fuse comes undone
I know better than to play with this fire
but the burn in my chest keeps lifting me higher

[CHORUS]
It’s bad for me… but I want it
Every part of me knows I shouldn’t touch it
It’s bad for me… but I want it
Yeah, the danger hits sweet--
"So sweet"
--and I can’t rise above it
It’s bad for me… but I want it
And I’m falling right into the heat of the moment

[VERSE 3]
I’m past the point of turning back
the warning signs are everywhere
It’s killing me to want you like this
but I’m too far gone to care
If this fire’s gonna take me under
then let it take its time
If this is gonna be the end of me
I’ll meet it with a smile in my mind

[BRIDGE]
I feel the fall before I take the step
but the thrill in the drop’s got me hooked on the edge
If the night’s gonna break me, let it break me slow—
I’m already too far in to let this go

[FINAL CHORUS]
It’s bad for me… but I want it
Every part of me knows I shouldn’t touch it
It’s bad for me… but I want it
Yeah, the danger hits sweet--
"So sweet"
--and I can’t rise above it
And I’m falling right into the heat of the moment
It’s bad for me… but I want it
