no tragedy - eli carter lyrics

[verse 1]
streetlights paint your cheekbone gold
we laugh like we’re too young to know
same cracked screen, same dumb jokes
same hoodie when the wind gets cold
you bump my shoulder, i pretend
my heartbeat’s just the caffeine hit
but every time your hand finds mine
i feel the whole night start to fl!cker

[pre*chorus]
and i’m fine, yeah, i’m fine—
till you look at me too long
i rehe*rs* what i won’t say
like a quiet, hopeful song

[chorus]
if the world wants a headline, let it talk, let it talk
we don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plot
we’re not some cautionary tale in a magazine
we’re just two best friends in a city scene
we didn’t need to be star*crossed lovers to let the world know we want this to work
so i’ll hold you in the dark where it doesn’t hurt
say my name like you mean it—no tragedy, no curse
just us
[verse 2]
your friends are calling, “where you at?”
you say, “i’m out,” but not with who
i smile like it’s nothing new
like i don’t wish i could tell the truth
on the train, your knee hits mine
we share one pair of earphones
and every lyric feels too loud
for all the things we’ve never owned

[pre*chorus]
‘cause i’m fine, yeah, i’m fine—
till your thumb touches my ring
i’m scared love might cost you
everything

[chorus]
if the world wants a headline, let it talk, let it talk
we don’t need a reason, we don’t need a plot
we’re not some cautionary tale in a magazine
we’re just two best friends in a city scene
we didn’t need to be star*crossed lovers to let the world know we want this to work
so i’ll hold you in the dark where it doesn’t hurt
say my name like you mean it—no tragedy, no curse
just us
[post*chorus]
ooh—just us, just us
neon hush, neon hush
ooh—just us, just us
no tragedy… just us

[bridge]
maybe we’ve been hiding in plain sight
two shadows dancing under blue*white lights
maybe courage is a slow ignition
a spark in a pocket, a secret decision
if you’re scared, i’m scared too—
but i’m more scared of losing you
so we can take it in pieces, we can take our time
step out of the silence, one small line at a time

[pre*chorus]
let ‘em stare, let ‘em guess
we’ll breathe through the heaviness
if it’s you and it’s me, it’s enough, it’s enough—
i don’t need the whole world, i just need your trust

[final chorus]
if the world wants a headline, let it talk, let it talk
we don’t owe them anything, we don’t have to stop
we’re not some doomed romance on a silver screen
we’re just two best friends, and we’re learning to be seen
we didn’t need to be star*crossed lovers to let the world know we want this to work
so i’ll hold you in the light even if it hurts
say my name like you mean it—no tragedy, no curse
just us
[outro]
just us…
under these city stars—
no tragedy…
just us
