[Chorus]

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you


[Verse 1]

What would it take to make a woman like you

View a wolf like me for what I really might be

Listening to lyrics, only hears what I allow

You gotta try and make me testify for here and right now

Let's have a confrontation over a cold one

I'll give you conversation just to see if you can hold 'em

I play so dumb

Because I know some of these star-struck small talk art fucks is no fun

I'm the blood type that goes straight for the guns

Like before you even spoke already knew what your love's like

So what you thinking?

Because I'm thinking we should jump into your ocean

Let's go girl, this ship is sinking


[Chorus]

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you


[Verse 2]

Now there's no reason to lie, I've had a lot of lovers

In my reality, it's impossible to avoid it

But there's one reason for life: gotta provide some supper

Gonna build a family just to watch someone destroy it

Do you really think you really wanna get to know me better?

Don't you see the drama? Don't you feel the pressure?

Don't get me wrong, it would be my pleasure

To sing a song that could remove your shoes and your sweater

Bartender, let me get a shot of Beam

Cause this girl over here is trying to get me out my jeans

And she doesn't seem to believe I'm just another thief

Came to take a piece and make you stutter when you breathe

Now girl you too smart to be a tour mark

Set to play correct from the start with your pure heart

And when you're all alone, I'll sing into your phone

If you don't know the words you can make up your own


[Bridge]

The first time she met the devil was at First Avenue

Went backstage with him into the dressing room

Sexy ego trip, taller than expected

About six foot three

Seemed to thrive on his misery

Critical, observant, big words

Sweaty hair, sunken eyes, and thick nerves

She said "I'll make him smile for the simple fact that he needs it

I'll make him smile just so I can kill it, and eat it"


[Refrain]

You look like you were built for me

You talk like you want to steal my drink

You kiss like you already came

And that's a "Lifter Puller" line for those without any game


[Verse 3]

It's like damn baby

You know you can't save me

But you should still tell your people that you're leaving with the band

Maybe you can show me your hustle

Neither one of us would be so lonely

If only you would come over here and hold me

I caught you trying to hide your smile behind your glass

But all of your secrets become a swing set when you laugh

And all of your regrets that you're carrying or burying

Don't mean a damn thing if there's nobody to share them with

We've been following each other all night now

We ought to be all over each other like right now

I don't like crowds, let's take flight now

Cause that face that you make

Reminds me of my life now


[Chorus]

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you

Look at your face

When all I could see was myself looking back at me

Reflection

And all I could do was think about sleeping next to you


[Outro]

Only trying to find myself inside of you
