Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm tired of this (What is it? What are you tired of?)
I'm tired of you not being here (I'm here, I'm here right now)
The only time that I'm connected with you is via social media (I'm here right now, all you gotta do, listen)
You're never home (I'm connected right now)
You always on the streets, all you do work, or come home to shower...
I'm another man, I'm another man, yeah
Just down on me, yeah
Oh, it can be
[Verse 2]
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 (Oh, we could be)
That pressure build 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
No time to waste on the outside of our divine embrace, because of my mistakes (Oh, we could be)
Sometimes we overcomplicate or 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 (Oh, we could be)
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
[Verse 3]
Oh, you can be good, baby
All you do is complain (We could be)
Oh, we can be good, baby, yeah-yeah
But all you do is complain (We could be)
[Verse 4]
I'm like Johann Sebastian, the Zohan of fashion
The slow mind really showing no signs of graspin'
Go find the caption to explain the neutron and proton attraction (Oh, we could be)
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 (Oh, we could be)
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 (Oh, we could be)
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
[Verse 5]
Oh, you can be good, baby
All you do is complain (We could be)
Oh, we can be good, baby, yeah-yeah
But all you do is complain
[Verse 6]
We both gon' 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 pie
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
[Verse 7]
Oh, you can be good, baby
All you do is complain (We could be)
Oh, we can be good, baby, yeah-yeah
But all you do is complain
[Verse 8]
My soul can really feel your soul, you know what I mean
Spirit or no spirits and our spirits agree
