(loose intro — beat flickers in, like voices already overlapping) say it again, I like how it sounds not what you meant, just spin it around music too loud, I’m reading your mouth don’t even know what we talking about you lean in close like you got a point I nod like yeah, but I miss the joint laugh at the wrong time, still on cue you think I’m locked but I slip right through (pre-chorus — building, breath quicker) don’t slow down, I might hear it clear don’t say truth, keep it cute in here hands too warm, but the room too near I like you more when you disappear (chorus — catchy but messy, layered voices) lipstick static, say it, don’t mean it talk real fast so I don’t have to feel it pretty little noise, I repeat, I repeat it you sound sweet but I don’t believe it lipstick static, blur it, don’t fix it kiss like a lie, let it glitch when you mix it I hear you loud but I don’t wanna get it keep it right there where it don’t get specific (verse 2 — faster phrasing, internal rhyme heavy) mirror-side, side-eye, I’m reading your tone you said “stay,” I heard “don’t go home” phone light flick, I’m gone then I’m shown same damn script but I switch the tone sweet talk, small talk, nothing lands you say “real,” but it’s in your hands I say “fine,” but I don’t mean plans we both know this don’t understand (pre-chorus — tighter, almost spiraling) don’t say more, I’ll lose the bit don’t get close, I might admit hands on mine, I counterfeit I like you best when none of it fits (bridge — chaotic, overlapping thoughts, glitchy energy) —wait, what you— no, I didn’t— you said that twice— or was that me? don’t look now— they looking at— no, keep talking— I like the— (layered whispers underneath) say it / don’t mean it / say it / don’t mean it (final chorus — stripped, airy, almost detached) lipstick static… say it, don’t mean it talk real fast so I don’t have to feel it pretty little noise… I repeat, I repeat it you sound sweet but I don’t believe it lipstick static… blur it, don’t fix it kiss like a lie… let it glitch when you mix it I hear you loud… but I don’t wanna get it keep it right there… where it don’t get specific (outro — fading, conversational tone) yeah… that’s better don’t— don’t explain it just… say it again
