  • 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 Writer/s: Chris Loco, Jacob Anderson
