She walks like trouble in leather boots

[Verse 1]
She walks like trouble in leather boots
half-smile hiding all the truth
coffee in hand, like it’s a weapon
you never know what she’s expecting
eyes like sparks in a cigarette glow
she already knows what you don’t know
calls your name like it’s a test
and somehow makes it sound like a threat

[Pre-Chorus]
we try to act like we’re okay
but she can read us anyway

[Chorus]
Harper, Harper in the hallway light
you turn our chaos into fight
you say “play louder, don’t play safe”
like fear is something we should break
Harper, Harper, don’t look away
you make us better every day
we swear we’re not afraid of you
(we are, but we won’t tell you too)

[Verse 2]
she laughs when everything goes wrong
like she knew it all along
calls us “rockers” like a joke
then fixes everything we broke
she drags us into rooms we fear
and makes the silence disappear
one look and suddenly it’s clear
she’s the reason we are here

[Pre-Chorus]
we act like she’s just another name
but she’s the fire behind the flame

[Chorus]
Harper, Harper in the hallway light
you turn our chaos into fight
you say “play louder, don’t play safe”
like fear is something we should break
Harper, Harper, don’t look away
you make us better every day
we swear we’re not afraid of you
(we are, but we won’t tell you too)

[Bridge]
she doesn’t care if we’re too loud
she doesn’t care if we’re not proud
she only cares if we are real
and that’s the only thing we feel

[Outro]
Harper… don’t disappear
you’re the reason we are here
