Bounce
Cab The Lyrics

The lips that slip are the lips that press
When someone messes up in their speech, it's often because they're holding something back and are trying to suppress it.

And the lips that leak seem to know you best
People who can't keep secrets or gossip a lot may actually know a lot about you, whether you like it or not.

I put bodies into motion keep this skin out in the open
The singer is confident and wants to show off their body and skills to attract attention.

Liars turn me on
The artist is attracted to dishonesty and deception, possibly because it keeps things exciting and unpredictable.

Bed spread bandit since '89
The artist has been sexually active, possibly promiscuous or adventurous, since 1989.

You wear your heart on your sleeve
The addressee is very open and expressive about their feelings, which may be refreshing and endearing.

And threw mine to the sky
The addressee has also been emotionally reckless or careless with the singer's feelings, making them feel vulnerable and exposed.

Bounce bounce baby, bounce back to me (you don't need this)
The artist is urging the addressee to come back to them as a rebound or a distraction, but acknowledges that it may not be necessary or healthy for them.

This is it, call it quits with honesty (you don't need this)
The artist suggests that both parties should be honest with each other and end any pretenses, since the addressee doesn't really need the artist's validation or approval.

Every word is a curse let loose on me
The artist is willing to take whatever verbal abuse or criticism the addressee can throw at them, because it's better than not hearing from them at all.

Your mouth it moves but fails to speak
The addressee may be venting or complaining, but not really addressing the underlying issue or expressing what they really want or need.

And when you use your lips they better be on me
The artist wants the addressee to be intimate with them or show them physical affection, rather than just talking or arguing all the time.

The lies that tied your tongue in knots
The addressee may be struggling to keep up a facade, or be caught between conflicting emotions or expectations.

Are the words that grew to hit my spots
Despite the lies or confusion, the addressee may still know how to appeal to the singer's vulnerabilities or turn-ons.

So filthy, dialed desire
The singer recognizes that their cravings or fantasies may not be socially acceptable or respectable, but they can't help being aroused by them.

Swallowed pride but spit out fire
The addressee may have humbled themselves or apologized, but the artist is still angry or resentful about something and won't let it go easily.
