Lyric:
I will never know if you love me
Or my company, but I don't mind
'Cause I ain't tryna be the one
Been through this a thousand times
I don't need to take your heart
You keep yours, I'll keep mine
All I really know is when I'm lonely
I hate that I'm lonely
And that's why I let you in
And maybe in another life
We fight all day, kiss all night
But I don't wanna break your heart
You keep yours, I'll keep mine
I know
We know better, so we'd both better go
I don't need a reason
To keep on dreamin'
That we don't lose, yeah, what's the use?
I don't need a reason
To keep on dreamin', oh
That we can win at anything at all
Mm
Am I the only one who sees right through this?
Yeah, all this bullshit
Don't play me for no fool
Yeah, you don't gotta lose your mind
Every time I don't…

Lyric: Wonder what I'll do when the cops come through
And the whiskey's run out
'Cause I've been lookin' at you since half past two
Wanna take this downtown?
This liquid courage got me way too honest
Put your phone on vibrate, let's catch a vibe, babe
While the sun's down
Hush now, I know we're a little too fucked up to stay still, love
Be as quiet as you can, 'cause if anyone sees
They'll just blow shit up
I don't gotta know if you're taken
I'll just let ya know bedroom's vacant
No one's gotta know, just us and the moon 'til the sun starts wakin'
Up's the only direction I see
As long as we keep this
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key (ah, ah, ah, ah)
You ain't even gotta lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo-love me (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Us in a king-size, keep it a secret
Say I'm your queen, I don't wanna leave this
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key
Wizard with words tellin' me my energy's so bewitchin'
So I'll go first, there's an open bar, let's close this distance
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh my, don't make me have to spell it all night
I don't really give a fuck 'bout all the "he said, she said" bullshit
So pick your poison, love, let's go somewhere a little more exclusive
Take a shot, take a chance, take my hand, boy
Tension so intense like an asteroid
Be discreet, gotta dodge all the tabloids
Let's not think too much, there ain't no problems
So long as we keep this
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key (ah, ah, ah, ah)
You ain't even gotta lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo- lo-love me (ah, ah, ah, ah)
Us in a king-size, keep it a secret
Say I'm your queen, I don't wanna leave this
Low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low-key
low-key, low-key
low-key, low-key

Lyric:While I'm on Sunset, are you on the subway?
While I drive, are you gettin' on the L-train?
I mean, Manhattan's nice, but so are Malibu nights
You would know if you stayed
You would know if you put up a fight
Your toes turn blue in winter, I'm gettin' red, rum
Does the trick for all of the things left unsaid, I'm
Missin' our drunken 2 A.M. strolls in K-Town
Now you're chasing fake highs in the Upper West Side
And fuckin' on Brooklyns in Brooklyn
Your Chelseas in Chelsea
Hope that eases the pain, so you remember to miss me
And you sold your car, now you walk for miles
Bet your feet feel numb
(Crosswalks in my mind are shaky, so please hold on tight)
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels, in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels
Summer's endin' now and the nights are coolin' down
Remember last winter when we would drive around?
Silverlake, Hollywood, pretty little white lies got me good
Thought this was love, I was misunderstood, mmm
Feelin' low on the low, drivin' through NoHo
If I'm honest, I'd call, but I'm trying to let go
And I hope you're happy, livin' life in taxis
But you'll always have me, you'll always have me
All my demons run wild
All my demons have your smile
In the city of angels, in the city of angels
Hope New York holds you
Hope it holds you like I do
While my demons stay faithful
In the city of angels

Lyric:
Ooh, ooh mm
Yeah, yeah
You know I'm your type, right? (Right)
Mark your calendar, tonight's gonna be your life's highlight (light)
Boy, we gon' roll up, we gon' roll out, look
This is the land of fast, bet you ain't used to that, nah
First to one-up your last, she can stay in your past
Honey, I don't stop for no one but I'd pause for you, you, you, you
So let's go downtown and get real high
It'd be psycho to psychoanalyze
Leave all of your inhibitions behind
Tonight let's test all the borderlines like
How far out does the indigo go?
Boy, let's find out, take the longer way home
Have my body all superimposed right on top of yours, oh
As far as the indica goes
I'm hating that you're still in your clothes
Baby, touch me slow all adagio
Like oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Know you like a little attitude (attitude, attitude)
A little spunk, a little gumption
Well baby, have a lot of gratitude
'Cause I can be sweet, or poised, or a little too feisty to function, yeah
So shut up and just hop in, we gon' ride in style
If thrill was a sport, I'd be the poster child
I listen to none, but I'm all ears for you, you, you, yeah
So let's drive by the city skyline
I'm so over this overthinking mind
Leave all of your inhibitions behind
Tonight let's test all the borderlines like
How far out does the indigo go?
Boy, let's find out, take the longer way home
Have my body all superimposed right on top of yours, oh
As far as the indica goes
I'm hating that you're still in your clothes
Baby, touch me slow all adagio
Like oh, oh, oh, oh, yeah
Baby go slow, slow, slow, slow
Under the indigo, go
Steady and slow, slow, slow, slow
Under the indigo, indigo

Lyric:
Save your explanation
I don't wanna hear it, baby
Lay off with your handy work of candy words
You don't get to call me up later
Anyone can do better than you
You can't tell grime from jewels
But I'm too chic for no vendettas
I'll tell you though
It takes a brain to leave and I went to school
Whyn't you go and tell that bitch I wish her best of luck
Honey, he gon' make a break for the door when it's too much
He gon' make a beeline for me but I, I won't give no fucks
You're full of xxxx twenty-four for seven, mi corazon
I hope your mama proud she raised a pussy for a son
I won't be there to kiss any wounds when everybody's gone
'Cause
I'll be seeing you never
I'm living free, light as a feather
When you're chilly, alone in December
Just remember
I'll be seeing you never
Cruisin' down 11th
Glance to my right, the passenger seat's unoccupied
Here's how I know that we had nothin'
'Cause when I'm driving alone
There's no waft of your cologne
I'm so relieved, I swear I could cry
I dodged a bullet when I bid you that fast goodbye
Why, mister you missed a dollar to get you a dime
It's bewildering that you would leave a vixen for a snake
You beg me not to hate you so here's what I stipulate
Whyn't you go ahead and pack up your shit
That includes your ugly ass suedes, yeah (That I paid for)
I was so good to you I gave you all my assets a la carte
I let you pick and choose all the desires of your heart
Joke's on you for messing all that up, babe
Your foolishness is state of the art
Guess
I'll be seeing you never
I'm living free, light as a feather
When you're chilly, alone in December
Just remember
I'll be seeing you never
See you, see you (see you never, see you never)
(See you never) never (see you never, babe)
(See you never) again (see you never again)
(See you never) see you never (see you never)
