[Verse 1] Boston streets, cold air, sharp on skin. Carefree steps, boots against the stone. Uptight man right there beside her, Eyes wide open world to be shown. Hands in pockets talking life and dreams. She laughs louder, shakes the winter chill. Figures his heart's trapped in schemes, Needs some chaos, some thrill. [Chorus] More pepper, less salt I say Loosen up or you'll fade away Life's too short for your uptight ways Come on now dance, let's play. [Verse 2] City lights make shadows twist and dive. Her spirits high his nerves in overdrive. Magic in the simple moments caught. He's wrestling with the battles she's already fought. More pepper, less salt I say Loosen up or you'll fade away. Life's too short for your uptight ways. Come on now dance, let's play. [Verse 3] We ain't bound by the rules, no chain. Free yourself from this mental strain. Don't you see the beauty in the moment? Come on babe, I'm your best proponent! [Chorus] More pepper, less salt I say. Loosen up or I'll fade away. Life's too short for your uptight ways. Come on babe, last chance, no more malaise. [Bridge] [Verse 5] We ain't bound by the rules, no chain. Free yourself from your mental strain. Don't you see the beauty in the moment? Come on babe, I'm your best proponent! [End]
