Cowards

Hi
Hey
Hi
Okay

I guess you're okay
You go through my head now and then (Hi, hey, hi, okay)
We watch what we say
We play hard to get, we pretend (Hi, hey, hi, okay)
I don't know what's happened to me
But it won't disappear
I keep changing, saying things
I think you want to hear

I'm struggling to hold onto
Something close to you
And I'm coming up short
I choose to make the most of you

Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
'Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

I bite and you scratch
We tense and relax, perfect match (Hi, hey, hi, okay)
We both self destruct
We fight and we fu (Hey) we make love (Hi, okay)

I'm struggling to hold onto
Something close to you
And I'm coming up short
I choose to make the most of you

Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
'Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say

We don't have to be the model couple
We could just be muddled up, I won't give it up
White flag on the nightstand
Right girl for the wrong man
Maybe we were made to
Dance around each other, babe
I don't know, I don't care
I'm just scared

Never mind the power
Never mind the games
You and me, we're cowards
Never mind the shame
'Cause I'll be waiting for you
At the pearly gates
Baby, I adore you
But I'm afraid to say
