lyrics

We could’ve been gods
But we fucked it up

I’ve been your lover now
For a while
To be inside you is to feel
A power that I hope will grow
But as we’re getting deeper in
I’m tripping on the scars you have
And I’m worried I’m not your man

Sometimes you are so beautiful
You make me want to sing
But there’s a sadness in your beauty, too
A pearl within a rubbish bin
I get lost in your pheromone
(Put our ears to the ground)

Batten down the hatches, boys
And don’t forget to cheerio
Your Barbie and Ken
Screwing my flow
We gonna watch ‘em swim
In the flood that’s coming

Yeah, maybe we are romantics
Maybe they’re all pessimists
You say there’s activism in each of us
We just got to engage with it
Oh it is a harness to your power
(Put our ears to the ground)

I wanna feel you crushing me
With your hug
Say farewell to the light
Welcome back Io
Let her do her thing
The tide’s calling us again
We’re all boat people in the end

We could’ve been gods
