Postcards to Aliens

[Verse 1]

Kitchen light humming at midnight

Fridge door glow on your face

You said you "weren’t even hungry"

Now you’re hovering over my plate

Crumbs on your sleeve

You’re guilty

Trying not to laugh

Eyes wide

I wrote my name on that box

You peeled the corner

Pulled it aside

[Chorus]

You took the last slice

Cold crust

But it cuts so deep

How you sleep so nice

Knowing you robbed my dreams to eat

It’s not about the cheese

It’s the principle (yeah)

Call it tiny heartbreak

Edible crime

You took the last slice

And you crossed the line

[Verse 2]

We’ve shared raincoats

Passwords

Secrets

Split rent

Split rides

Split plans

But when it comes to leftover treasure

Suddenly it’s "first come

" sticky hands

You say

"I’ll buy you another"

As if that fixes the past

That was game-night

Perfect topping

Perfect bite

Frozen in time

Gone fast

[Chorus]

You took the last slice

Cold crust

But it cuts so deep

How you sleep so nice

Knowing you robbed my dreams to eat

It’s not about the cheese

It’s the principle (hey)

Call it tiny heartbreak

Edible crime

You took the last slice

And you crossed the line

[Bridge]

Maybe I’m petty

Maybe I’m right

Maybe next time I hide it

Way in the back

Wrapped tight

Or maybe we’re laughing

Over a brand-new pie

Two plates

Two forks

One promise

Ask before you bite

[Chorus]

You took the last slice

Cold crust

But it cuts so deep

How you sleep so nice

Knowing you robbed my dreams to eat

It’s not about the cheese

It’s the principle

Little love story

Told in grease and thyme

You took the last slice

But you’re still mine
