[Intro — SIENNA, whispered] Don't tell anybody Mm Not everything needs a name [Verse 1 — SIENNA] You pull up around the corner Like you know the rules by now I come down before you call me Before the neighbours come around You got questions in the glovebox I got answers I won't give You keep searching for a reason Like there's something that I missed You say, "Why's it such a secret?" I say, "Why's it gotta show?" Then you laugh and start the engine Like you already know [Pre-Chorus — SIENNA] No pictures in the morning Not a caption on your screen You can tell me that you want me Just don't tell me what it means [Chorus — SIENNA] Keep it off the record Don't say it out loud You can have me when we're alone Just don't love me in a crowd Keep it off the record We don't need a name If anybody asks you We were never anything Oh, we were never anything [Verse 2 — JAYC, melodic rap] Right? Yeah Three weeks, same street, same back door You say you don't want much, but you ask for more Got your favourite song playing when I pull up And you know which side of town I grew up You know my friends, I don't know yours You know my door code, I don't even know your floor You call me when the city goes to sleep Then by daylight you got nothing left for me Look, I ain't asking for a headline Or a picture with a caption and a heart sign But I saw you with your people Friday night And you barely said hello, barely met my eyes And I laughed like it didn't sting Like I don't sit around thinking 'bout these things You say it's better if we keep it undefined But I'm starting to feel like I'm wasting my time [Pre-Chorus — SIENNA] I don't need the whole world knowing I just need you not to hide You keep saying this is nothing Then you're sleeping by my side [Chorus — SIENNA] Keep it off the record Don't say it out loud You can have me when we're alone Just don't love me in a crowd Keep it off the record We don't need a name If anybody asks you We were never anything Oh, we were never anything [JAYC, ad-lib] Right? Never anything? [SIENNA] Yeah [JAYC] Alright [Bridge — alternating] [SIENNA] You knew what this was when we started [JAYC] Yeah, I did, but things can change [SIENNA] I never said that I could promise— [JAYC] I never asked you for a ring [SIENNA] So what exactly do you want, then? [JAYC] For you to look me in the eye [SIENNA] I'm looking at you [JAYC] Not when somebody's walking by [Final Chorus] [SIENNA] Keep it off the record Don't say it out loud [JAYC] You can call it what you want But don't pretend I'm not around [SIENNA] Keep it off the record We don't need a name [JAYC] Then why you calling me at midnight Just to hear my voice again? [Both] Oh, we were never anything Right? [Outro — SIENNA] You pull up around the corner I can see you from the door [JAYC, distant] You coming? [SIENNA] ...Yeah
