lyrics

Make ups to break ups to cussing to fucking,
wake ups, to wondering what happened in the morning.
Breakfast is quite concentrating on the eating,
giving us reason not to question what we're doing.
We deserves Oscars for our brilliant pretending,
That we are not making the same mistakes again.
We've been here before, this is a regression.
We are not progressing, but very much enjoying.
I guess life is made for living not existing.
and we are drawn to the things that bring us inspiration.
You become the reason I am tossing and turning,
growing and learning, what I am partial too.
Addressing my own passions and actions
and straight physical attraction,
animalistic acting this what makes us human.

Chorus
I am no longer guessing, I am more than sure.
If life has taught me any kinda lesson before.
It's that when I want to, I really really want to
I know that I want you and i know want too.
So what you think maybe us two, up until two, maybe even three, well see


We go back and forth, back and forth like tennis
and each time we give a less than the beginning.
I guess what keeps us coming back is coming
That's not joking, that some real analysing.
You'd be surprised by the truths that are hidden.
"cause it comes to light when you start digging.
Pun intended, whoever invented you is my my nemesis, cause I am powerless.
That blatant obvious, like have no common sense.
Like I can't see what's going on or haven't got the foggiest,
idea, my dear, why I am still here, it's three in the morning
and we're calling, each others name, like we never knew it.
We said we wouldn't go back I guess we blew it,
animalistic acting, this is what makes us human.

Chorus
I am no longer guessing, I am more than sure.
If life has taught me any kinda lesson before.
It's that when I want to, I really really want to
I know that I want you and i know want too.
So what you think maybe us two, up until two,maybe even three, well see

Are we willing, to accept the terms and conditions, of our arrangement and pretend if is painless.
Are we willing to give more than we are giving and see what we are missing, if we could only listen.
