Old Habits

My heart was open on a Saturday night

I didn't expect it, I was caught by surprise

Your name, it lingered in the back of my mind

I've never felt this before

You were holdin' the knife when you walked out the door

For the first time in my life, I knew that I wanted more

From a part of you that I have not seen before

You cut me open, for sure

Why don't I keep my distance from you?

When I know that deep down that you'd be on the move?

And it would be easier if you had said that you love me too

It's the same old habits with you, ooh

We were cut from a postcard I sent for you to keep

But I only get to see you, baby, when we're asleep

I'd pick up all your habits though it breaks my routine

But you're always just what I need

So I keep waking up to the rest of your nights

And you apologise even when I start the fights

That never-ending whiskey that you brought back to mine

No, it doesn't age like wine

Why don't I keep my distance from you?

When I know that deep down that you'd be on the move?

And it would be easier if you had said that you love me too

It's the same old habits with you, ooh

'Cause it's the same thing over and over again

And I can't seem to forget you no matter what I say

It's the same thing over and over again

It's the same thing over again

I'll keep my distance from you

'Cause I know that somebody else would be there for you

I won't remind you to take your keys when you leave the room

All the same old habits with you, ooh
