Intro
We loud in the loft, then we whisper Keys hit the bowl, but I still miss her Coffee too strong, eyes still tender Same hoodie on, love still in it
Verse 1
You slam that cabinet, I bite my tongue I see your mascara run, then you turn away We throw slick words like darts in the dark I act too cool, but my chest too loud Phone face-down, you don’t trust the quiet I’m pacing the tile like I lost my mind You say “you never listen,” I say “you never chill” Then we freeze in the doorway, stuck on pride
Pre-chorus
We both mad, but we still lean close Say “I’m done,” then I pull you back Your ring taps glass, my heart taps ribs If love leave now, we both feel that
Chorus
We fight, then we kiss, call it war-to-peace Door still locked, but you still my key Say what you want, I won’t let you leave We love too hard, call it war-to-peace
Verse 2
You scroll through my likes, I hate that look I ain’t no saint, but I ain’t no creep You got that “don’t play with me” forehead crease I got that “I’m sorry” stuck in my throat You bringing up Tuesdays, I bring up stress We both keep score like it pay the rent But when the sirens pass, you grab my arm Like “come back here,” and I come right back
Bridge 1
I know your triggers, you know my pride We argue loud, then we heal in hush Your hand on my neck, my breath goes soft We don’t need perfect, we need us
Verse 3
So I put the ego in the sink tonight I say it plain, “I hear you, for real” You nod slow, then you take my face Like “don’t talk cute, just show me change” I open the calendar, make time instead You stop testing love like it might run out We still gon’ clash, but we choose the same bed Two hot heads, still one home
Chorus
We fight, then we kiss, call it war-to-peace Door still locked, but you still my key Say what you want, I won’t let you leave We love too hard, call it war-to-peace
Bridge 2
Next time it spark, I’m holding you first We can be fire, just don’t burn the house Say it in truth, not to win the round I’m yours for keeps, even mid-storm
Chorus
We fight, then we kiss, call it war-to-peace Door still locked, but you still my key Say what you want, I won’t let you leave We love too hard, call it war-to-peace
Chorus
We fight, then we kiss, call it war-to-peace Door still locked, but you still my key Say what you want, I won’t let you leave We love too hard, call it war-to-peace
Outro
Cabinets quiet, but the room still warm Your nails on my chest, we breathing slow We ain’t perfect, just don’t let go Kitchen counter truce… we going home
Inside the recording
We loud in the loft, then we whisper Keys hit the bowl, but I still miss her
We both mad, but we still lean close Say “I’m done,” then I pull you back
Cabinets quiet, but the room still warm Your nails on my chest, we breathing slow
