Mood
Fluorescents Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ah-ah-ah
Yeah, yeah

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking ′round, acting brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain′t playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking 'round, acting brand new
I ain't tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain′t playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view

I could never get attached
When I start to feel unattached
Somehow always end up feeling bad
Baby, I am not your dad
Is that all you want from me?
I just want your company

Girl, it′s obvious, elephant in the room
And we're a part of it, don′t act so confused
And you love starting it, now I'm in a mood
Now we arguing in my bedroom

We play games of love to avoid the depression
We been here before, and I won′t be your victim

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking 'round, acting brand new
I ain′t tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking 'round, acting brand new
I ain′t tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain′t playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view

So why you trying to fake your love on the regular?
When you could be blowing up just like my cellular
I won't ever let a shorty go and set me up
Only thing I need to know is if you wet enough
I′m talking slick back, kick back, gang sipping 40s
You keep playing, not another day with you shorty
Mismatched fits, that was way before you know me
Got a lot of love, well you better save it for me

We play games of love to avoid the depression
We've been here before, and I won′t be your victim

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking 'round, acting brand new
I ain′t tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking 'round, acting brand new
I ain′t tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain′t playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view

Why you always in a mood?
Fucking 'round, acting brand new
I ain′t tryna tell you what to do
But try to play it cool
Baby, I ain't playing by your rules
Everything looks better with a view, yeah

Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey




Hey, hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey, hey
