They Want Us Arguing

Laid-back mid-tempo groove with warm electric piano, soft rimshot drums, lazy bassline, and airy male vocals, Verses stay intimate and conversational; chorus opens with stacked harmonies and a subtle gospel-style response, Sprinkle light guitar licks on turnarounds, with a mellow pad swelling in the bridge to lift the message, then drop to almost unplugged for the final hook

[Verse 1] Sun on the window Coffee going cold on the side Scrollin' through a thousand shouting faces Feelin' tired in my eyes They got us pointing fingers At the neighbor At the screen Arguing about the small things While they carve up everything [Chorus] 'Cause they want us arguing Arguing Busy throwin' words like stones They stay laughing in their corner While we tear apart our homes But I don't wanna fight with you Fight with you Over colors Over names If we ever sit together They start losing at their game (yeah) [Verse 2] You and me at dinner Same joke Then the tension creeps in Headlines in the back of our minds Like a whisper under our skin They sell us every story Where we're always picked in teams Turn our tables into battlefields And cash in on the screams [Chorus] 'Cause they want us arguing Arguing Busy throwin' words like stones They stay laughing in their corner While we tear apart our homes But I don't wanna fight with you Fight with you Over labels Over blame If we ever stand together They start losing at their game (oh yeah) [Bridge] What if we just turned it down Turned it off Tuned in right here You and me Same old town Same soft voice Same quiet fears If we see who's pulling strings Who keeps livin' off our pain Maybe we can drop our armor Walk each other through the rain [Chorus] 'Cause they want us arguing Arguing Busy throwin' words like stones They stay hiding in the shadows While we tear apart our homes But I don't wanna fight with you Fight with you Over stories that they frame If we ever love each other They can't play us in that game
