Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I was walking down the street the other day

Tryna distract myself

But then I see your face

Oh wait, that's someone else, oh

Tryna play it coy

Tryna make it disappear

But just like the battle of Troy

There's nothing subtle here, ah-ah

In my room there's a king size space

Bigger than it used to be

If you want, you can rent that place

Call me an amenity, ah-ah

Even if it's in my dreams, oh

[PreChorus]

Ooh, you're taking up a fraction of my mind (Of my mind)

Oh-ooh, every time I watch you serpentine

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Not to think about you

No, no, no, no, not to think about you

No, no, no, no

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Not to give in to you

No, no, no, no, not to give in to you

Oh, with my feelings on fire

Guess I'm a bad liar

[Verse 2]

I see how your attention builds

It's like looking in a mirror

Your touch, like a happy pill

But still all we do is fear, uh-oh

What could possibly happen next?

Can we focus on the love?

Paint my kiss across your chest

If you're the art, I'll be the brush

[PreChorus]

Ooh, you're taking up a fraction of my mind (Of my mind)

Oh-ooh, every time I watch you serpentine

[Chorus]

Oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Not to think about you (Not to think about you)

No, no, no, no, not to think about you (Not to think about you)

Oh no, no, no, no

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Not to give in to you (Give it to you)

No, no, no, no, not to give in to you (Give it to you)

Oh, with my feelings on fire

Guess I'm a bad liar

[Bridge]

And oh, baby, let's make reality, actuality, a reality

Oh, baby, let's make reality, actuality, a reality

[Chorus]

Oh, oh, I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Not to think about you (Think about you)

No, no, no, no, not to think about you (Think about you)

No, no, no, no

I'm tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Oh, tryin', I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

I'm tryin', I'm tryin'

Not to give in to you (Give in to you)

No, no, no, no, not to give in to you (Give in to you)

[Outro]

With my feelings on fire

Guess I'm a bad liar
