Lyrics:
No one can always be kissing under the mistletoe.
Eventually you’ll be sending each other missiles
And wondering just where this’ll go.
Even considering splittin,
But neither one of you wanna make it official though.
That pressure builds in the kettle until the whistle blow.
I know if ever I left you, I’d only miss you though.
Our love is in a place where there's no time and space.
There’s no time to waste on the outside of our divine embrace, because of my mistakes.
Sometimes we overcomplicate and undercompensate.
I try to keep it namaste, but you’ve just got complaints.
I say you know me and you told me to get out your face.
But you should know your crown is safe
And I’m proud to say I’d never just vanish without a trace.
Who's counting arguments? There’s too many to calculate .
I know it's a sweet and sour taste but when it’s good, it’s great.
Energy and chemistry gets out of symmetry but we could be
We can be good baby.
All you do is complain.
Ohh we can be good baby.
All you do is complain
I’m like Johann Sebastian,
The Zohan of fashion.
The slow mind is really showing no signs of graspin.
Go find the caption to explain the neutron and proton attraction
That’s got my wife at home jealous of my microphone,
Telling me she really be missing the smell of my cologne.
That I'm too grown to be living this life of rock n roll.
That all the tension is really starting to take its toll.
And not to mention, I really should try to take control.
Instead of breaking and taking her where she hates to go.
I know it's because of that memory she cringes,
The door was off the hinges, the curtain shredded to fringes.
It's crazy seeing the same image through different lenses.
I’d like to say the price we pay shouldn't be that expensive.
If something isn’t righteous,
It's making you apprehensive.
But time is working with us, not against us
And we could be good baby.
All you do is complain.
Ohh we can be good baby.
All you do is complain.
We both going to feel,
But we ain't gotta fight.
You can be real, fuck trying to be right.
You can be straight with me, never tell lies.
Easy as cake baby, we can be pi.
Instead of us trippin, you flippin 'all night.
We can be trippin, jumpin on flights.
And we should just listen, we gonna disagree.
Shit, baby we different
We could be good baby.
All you do is complain.
Ohh we can be good baby.
But all you do is complain.
My soul can really feel your soul, you know what I mean.
Spirit or no spirits and our spirits agree.
