Pacify

Simmer down

That's what Bob Marley told us

But we find it hard to simmer when we got nothing to hold us

So then we go out

With cash and expectations

And a couple insecurities but tonight we won't face em

We walk around

In fragile little bodies

But oo the way we're walking you would think that we were godly

When time runs out

We're alone in the evening

We just blame it on the bar and then go back to all our scheming

Oh but all I need is you lying here next to me x 2

Take my last sip of liquid courage

And dive into the night, thinking I might flourish

Got my past, my baggage, and my worries

But I'll deal with em later girl I'm not in a hurry x 2

Oh but all I need is you lying here next to me x 2

Simmer down simmer down why can't I do it

I put my heart to it

Maybe I'm just foolish

Simmer down, simmer down, who am I anyway

I just mess shit up like my name was Fannie Mae

Walk around, walk around

I feel so confident, I think I'm onto it

Everyone's offering

Time runs out, time runs out

How did it pass us by?

I'm still not satisfied

How can I pacify?

Oh but all I need is you lying here next to me x 4
