Face to Face
KITCHEN - Rex Orange County Lyrics

I grew up, you grew down, we found out
As we've grown up, we've discovered truths about ourselves and our relationship.

Everything matters now (everything)
All aspects of our lives and relationship carry great significance now that we're maturing.

We grew up while you let yourself down
I've matured and improved as a person, while my partner has not made similar progress.

I want out
I desire to end the relationship and move on.

She calmed me down that night I freaked out
She helped me relax during a moment of stress.

We stayed up, I threw up in that house
We spent the night together, and I eventually became ill at her place.

She woke up face-to-face from the bed
She rested in bed beside me and woke up to my presence beside her.

Two in the en-suite, one in the early
Two people used the bathroom, while I was awake early in the morning.

She was like eight hours ahead
She was in a different time zone, where the time was eight hours ahead of mine.

Two different countries, slept in a one piece
We were in different countries, but still slept only in one bed together.

Baby boy in full effect
I felt confident and content in her presence, like a self-assured child.

And you couldn't see me, call back repeat
We had poor phone connection and couldn't see one another, but had to call repeatedly.

That's all thanks to poor connection
Our communication issues were due to technical problems.

Most times it's a pain in the neck
Our communication issues are frustrating and inconvenient.

I said it's not that fun, see
I expressed that communicating this way isn't enjoyable.

Everything makes me wanna quit while I'm ahead
All aspects of my life and relationship make me feel like I should give up and leave while I still can.

She wakes, we face-to-face from the bed
We woke up to be face-to-face beside each other in bed.

I wish I could be with her instead
I desire to be with her exclusively and not just spend the night.

When we speak face-to-face from the head
When we have serious conversations and speak from our hearts and minds.

Things go wayward and I end up upset, but
Our communication during difficult talks often goes poorly, and I end up feeling upset.

Never had done No, I never had, had Ooh
We never did what I wanted, even though I sometimes wished for it.

Maybe we grew outward
We've changed and become different people over time.

It's true I kept the truth to myself
I held back my honest thoughts and feelings.

Now I'm nothing but a coward
My inability to express my true self has made me feel weak and inactive.

And you were too busy making friends
My partner was too preoccupied with socializing rather than investing in our relationship.

You were occupied, I was in the shower
You were busy doing other things while I took a shower.

You were unaware I was fully clothed
You didn't notice that I got dressed while you were occupied.

And you didn't know about this
You weren't aware of something that happened.

But you wouldn't even really need to know so
It wasn't important or relevant for you to know about it.

Continue picking flowers (mmh)
You continue living your life and doing what pleases you.

Remember why you're here, my friend
Don't forget why you're in this relationship, dear friend.

You can sit back and relax
You can take it easy and not worry too much.

And they'll always love you now and then They'll always love you now and then Always love you now and then They'll always love you It's true
Your loved ones will always have affection for you, even if it's not always obvious or expressed frequently.

Let me be over there again
Let me be with her again.

Let me return for the night shift
Let me resume spending the night together.

I miss her like she's my only friend
I desire to be with her alone and feel a deep sense of longing.
