Intro
Verse 1
The Waiting Room Lights Made You Look Pale,
Your Hoodie Strings Wrapped Around Your Hands,
You Joked Around, Like You Always Did
But I Could Tell You Were Scared To Death.
The Nurse Asked Me, Who To Call,
You Looked Away At The Empty Wall,
Then Quietly Wrote My Name Down First,
God I Never Knew Love Could Hurt Like That
And All The Little Fights We Had,
Suddenly Felt Stupid
Chorus
The Way Your Name Looks On A Hospital Form,
Hit Harder Than Any Goodbye Before,
Black Ink Underneath Fluorescent Lights,
Made Forever Suddenly Feel Real That Night,
You Squeezed My Hand When The Room Went Quiet,
And For Once We Didn't Scream Or Hide,
We Were Just Two Scared Kids Holding On,
Trying Not To Fall Apart,
Not To Fall Apart
Verse 2
The Vending Machine Kept Stealing My Change,
While The Tv Plays Some Old Sitcom Rerun,
You Fell Asleep Against My Shoulder,
Like The World Outside Didn't Exist Anymore,
I Watched Your Heartbeat On That Small Machine
And Thought About Every Reckless Thing,
Every Slammed Door And Midnight Fight,
That Almost Made Me Lose You Before This Night.
Funny How Close Losing Someone Gets
Before You Finally Say What Matters
Chorus
The Way Your Name Looks On A Hospital Form,
Still Echoes In My Head When Storms Hit,
Every Letter Felt Heavier Somehow,
Like Growing Up, All At Once,
You Held On To Me Through The Panic Attacks,
While The City Slept Outside Those Cracked Blinds
And For One Night, We Stopped Pretending,
We Were Terrified Of Ending,
We're Terrified Of Ending.
Bridge
Maybe Love Isn't Movie Scenes,
Maybe It's Staying When Things Get Ugly,
Maybe It's Fluorescent Lights At 4 Am,
And Not Letting Go Of Somebody's Hand
Chorus
The Way Your Name Looks On A Hospital Form,
Still Hurts Every Time I Think About It
‘Cause Even After Everything Went Wrong,
Part Of Me Still Goes Back To That Moment,
When The World Got Quiet For A Second,
And All We Had Was Each Other,
Two Messed Up Hearts, Trying To Survive,
Under Those Hospital Lights,
Ho-Oh-Ho-Oh,
Under Those Hospital Lights.
