Lyrics
[Verse]
Baby’s got ties
On the upper east side
Get into another fight
You should see the other guy
I think I lied, got a little untied
Should’ve kept it all inside
Instead of letting you go
[Pre-Chorus]
Headphone
Religion
Is keeping
My mind up
Darling
Don’t know
Don’t know
Where you’ve been
[Chorus]
In any situation that you’d like
You’re not getting us for hire
No you’re not getting us for hire
You’re not getting us for hire
In any situation yeah, you’ll find
You’re not getting us for hire
No you’re not getting us for hire
You’re not getting us for hire, hire
[Verse]
Give me those eyes
Get me back on your side
Give me any sort of life
Or just leave me alone
Pull me aside
Tell me all of your lies
Get a little terrified
At the thought of letting go
[Pre-Chorus]
Headphone
Religion
Is keeping
My mind up
Darling
Don’t know
Don’t know
Where you’ve been
[Chorus]
In any situation that you’d like
You’re not getting us for hire
No you’re not getting us for hire
You’re not getting us for hire
In any situation yeah, you’ll find
You’re not getting us for hire
No you’re not getting us for hire
You’re not getting us for hire, hire
[Pre-Chorus]
I get it
I know, I
I messed it up
I meant it
Forget it
I messed this up
I get it
I know, I
I messed it up
I meant it
Forget it
I messed this up
[Outro]
In any situation that-
And in any situation
Imma need to get on track
It’s a heavenly position for a quarterback
Not a tired misbehaver with a weight on his lap
Tryna get up and get on that
In any situation that-
But a reeling conversation with a subtler attack
Lets a feeling of fulfillment start to really lack
It’d be better for a poet and I’m not on that track
Please don’t panic I’ll be right back
