[Verse 1]

Your new obsession takes you to Greece

Mine's gonna take me where it takes me

Six months apart I guess we'll see

Least we got January

You said not to be the scared one, that's not really fair, love

You could meet someone, I could need someone here

Are we gonna last the year?

[Verse 2]

When I close my eyes I'm right back there

Laying on the grass in the summer air

Your cigarette ashes in my hair

No thought of February

[Refrain]

Tell me what I need to hear to know we'll be alright

Tell me a lie

(Tell me a lie, tell me a lie, tell me a lie, tell me a lie)

[Verse 3]

Mind's running circles when you leave

If I had a baby, who would you be?

Would you become a stranger?

I could scream

Maybe I wasn't ready

[Verse 4]

Tell me you would fly home

Everything handled

Look at you, the hero

When I'm left alone I fear

Would you ever take it from here?

[Refrain]

Tell me what I need to hear to know we'll be alright

Baby just lie

(Tell me a lie, tell me a lie, tell me a lie)

[Bridge]

Slow down, rewind

Love gets heavy sometimes

Lay your crown aside

Like when we were in the moment

Marianne and Cohen

Hit of serotonin

Always woulda chosen you

You, you, yeah, you

You know that I still do

You know I do, I do, yeah

[Chorus]

After all the ice is gone

Walls we built all winter long

I will be the one you come back to

In and out of character

No we're not us when we’re this hurt

But I will be the one you come back to

[Post-Chorus]

All this space between us but no secrets

'Cause if someone has seen me, you went deepest

[Chorus]

After all the ice is gone

Walls I built all winter long from you

You, you, you, you, you, you

In and out of character

No I'm not me when I'm this hurt by you

You, you, you, you, you

[Outro]

Feeling like I'll lose you like I lost my peace of mind

Just tell me what I need to hear to know we'll be alright

Baby please tell me a lie
