Under The Desk
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You're always gonna say it, but you're never gonna do it
And if we're being honest, man, you really put me through it
I'm gonna breathe it out next time we scream and shout
And I'm not like your other types, you know I'll put up a fight
Not because I want to, just because it ain't right
To cut me with your words and think I won't be hurt
Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'
I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)
Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy
Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'
Don't dress it up, tell me the raw and real
I can't mind read how you feel
Open your throat
I'm gonna climb in to catch what you said to me
Your tongue is as, as cutting as, as a machete
Under the desk
It's pretty vulnerable, I confess
You're always safe with me
So don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm trying to find the solution, no stressin'
Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)
Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy
