Foreign Exchange Featuring Darien Brockington Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So hard to read between the lines
Just know you are mine
I am yours nothing more
Looking for the way to
Ask you to stay here with me
One more night one more day
So I lay here beside you
[Chorus]
Nothing better to do
What could be sweeter than you
With nothing better to do
I'm asking what could be sweeter than you
So much that we can't understand
Take you by the hand
Love so bittersweet
We agreed you should leave
Trying to hold back the feeling
But we both can see
That it's calling me
Been here a thousand times before
And everytime we swear it's a mistake
Should'ntbe this way
This is the game we play to lose
Yet and still I choose
You
[Chorus]
Sweeter than you

So hard to read between the lines
It's difficult to understand the unsaid things in our relationship
Just know you are mine
I just want you to know that you are mine
I am yours nothing more
I belong to you and nothing else matters
Looking for the way to
Trying to find a way to
Ask you to stay here with me
Request you to spend more time with me
One more night one more day
Just one more night and another day together
So I lay here beside you
I am laying next to you
Nothing better to do
I have nothing important to attend to
What could be sweeter than you
There's nothing better than being with you
With nothing better to do
Without any important commitments
I'm asking what could be sweeter than you
I'm wondering what could be better than being with you
So much that we can't understand
We're dealing with so many complex emotions that we can't comprehend
Take you by the hand
Holding your hand tightly
Love so bittersweet
Our love is a combination of joy and pain
We agreed you should leave
We've talked about it and decided that you should go
Trying to hold back the feeling
I'm trying hard to suppress my emotions
But we both can see
We both know deep down what's happening
That it's calling me
I'm being drawn towards you, even though it's not logical
Been here a thousand times before
We've gone through this cycle many times already
And everytime we swear it's a mistake
We realize it's not a good idea, but do it anyway
Should'ntbe this way
We both know that things aren't supposed to be like this
This is the game we play to lose
We know what the outcome will be, but still indulge in this love game
Yet and still I choose
Despite knowing everything, I still choose you
You
You are the one I want to be with
Nothing better to do
I still have nothing important to attend to
What could be sweeter than you
There's still nothing better than being with you
With nothing better to do
Still without any important commitments
I'm asking what could be sweeter than you
Still wondering what could be better than being with you
Sweeter than you
Nothing is more delightful than being with you

A true work of art. Phonte displays more versatility than any MC to date. Nicholay is nothing short of Maestro on the beats. This is all around inspirational music. Keep it up gentlemen.
