We could change our minds.
That seems to be the hottest topic at this time.
We are sitting around in the meditation, dragging, chasing,
Wonderin' whose holdin' whose got the will to draw the line.
I know you've got something burning up inside,
It's so unhealthy but so good for me, oh!
Well God only knows our contradiction's to quitting, is a hate to love relationship thing.
A fire under you is so fulfilling,
I fear there's nothing more.
I'm giving, giving you, the choke hold,
My flirting with disaster is mighty loved.
Ugggh you, you're so bold,
My wanting to kiss you still is not enough.
I'm getting over, all the comments.
I'm feeling statements made by people are nonsense.
I'm getting stronger, by the minute.
And once I slip into position I'll swing you and turn you all around.
You are the sweetest thing I've found since whenever,
You're the only way my time is measured.
You might be the silent type,
But your appetizing louder now.
It's crazy how you're killing me.
Woo, you're killing me, but I like your
Red top and matching bottoms.
You know the ones, the ones you got on,
Pull them over your skinny self
But don't cover your tattoo.
Woo, cause I like to look at you, yeah,
I love that smell on you,
And I got your special place against this face for tasting too.
And I like it natural,
No need for chemicals.
Foggin?up my senses
You're making me sensless
You're calling it sexual.
And you're going to get yours, my lady.
Might even be today.
And it ain't no thing because I'll be rolling right along with you-woo-woo.
You are the sweetest thing I've found since whenever.
You're the only way my time is measured.
You might be the silent type.
But you're appetizing louder now.
It's crazy how you're killing me.
And give us both a break.
And to give us back a taste when the way things were before they made the laws,
And to give us both a chance,
But it won't be the last romance cause when the weekend starts the guilty party's on.
BREAKDOWN!!
Weekend party's over,
Don't stop, let's get closer.
Friday, got cold shoulder,
Monday, got a new composure.
Weekend party's over,
Don't stop, let's get lower.
I won't blow your cover,
Opportunistic lover.

Opportunistic lover.
The song "O. Lover" by Jason Mraz talks about a love that is counterintuitive and contradictory but it's still fulfilling. The opening lines set the mood of the song and give a sense of anxiety which is related to the fear of something changing. The lyrics serve as a conversation that the singer is having with his lover. He says that he knows his lover has something burning inside of her/him that is bad but still so good for him. He wants to know if his lover loves him and if she would tell him if she didn't. The lyrics hint at the intensity of their relationship when he says that their "contradictions to quitting, is a hate to love relationship thing".
The chorus of the song is about how the singer is willing to do anything to keep his lover. He is willing to give her the chokehold despite it being dangerous, and he is willing to endure the comments and statements made by other people because he knows what he wants. He loves everything about his lover, from her earrings to the smell of her perfume.
The final breakdown of the song talks about how their love is opportunistic and that they enjoy each other's company, and even if things get hard, they know they will make it through. The song's melody is upbeat and catchy, and its lyrics capture the different aspects of love, making it relatable to various listeners.

Who knew that this song was about smoking cigarettes? Been trying to pick this shit apart for 10 years now and I just read an interview with him confirming that it's about his love/hate relationship with cigarettes before he quit.
Love this man. He's a f***ing lyrics genius.
