The Recipe
Kai Straw Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a car, the summer season
And a view of the beach and a backseat
Can we take you and add me
And a car, the summer season
And a view of the beach and a backseat
Baby, that's the recipe
Spend eternity with you, my woman
As the sun dips in the ocean
Wrapped up like some vines 'till the morning
I swear there's nowhere I'd rather be
Than here tangled up with you all day
You're all that I wanted
I was lost, you're my compass
Like you've come from where the lord is
With peace to bathe my soul with
Can we take you and add me
And a car, the summer season
And a view of the beach and a backseat
Can we take you and add me
And a car, the summer season
And a view of the beach and a backseat
Baby, that's the recipe
I see you and me
Like we're the sun and the sea
Or the fall and the leaves
Or a spoon and a bowl of ice-cream
We're whole
We were made to finish each other
You're what my soul has
Been aching to discover
Like you're coco and I'm winter time
Oh, I'm the appetite, baby
You are dinner time
You're the knock out the park in the 9th
And I'm your home base, darling
We were meant to collide
I want all the rest my seasons spent with you
I want your salt and pepper
Braids when I'm 81 so can we mix our grief
Can we mix our happiness
Can we mix our homes take our broken pieces
Like we're both adhesive and make one whole
And yeah, I want cash and cars
But I want you too, mama
And yeah, I want cash and cars
But I want you too, mama
And yeah, I want cash and cars
But I want you too, mama
And yeah, I want cash and cars
But I want you too, mama
So can we take you and add me
And a car, the summer season
And a view of the beach and a backseat
Can we take you and add me
And a car, the summer season
And a view of the beach and a backseat
Baby, that's the recipe

Can we take you and add me
Can we combine ourselves, joining our lives and experiences
And a car, the summer season
And the freedom that comes with a car during the summer
And a view of the beach and a backseat
And the beauty of the beach and the intimacy of the backseat
Why can't we just freeze in this moment?
Why can't we stay in this perfect moment forever?
Spend eternity with you, my woman
Spending forever with you, my love
As the sun dips in the ocean
As the sun sets, creating a beautiful scene
Wrapped up like some vines 'till the morning
Wrapped in each other's embrace until the morning comes
I swear there's nowhere I'd rather be
I promise you, there is no other place I'd rather be
Than here tangled up with you all day
Than spending the entire day entangled with you
You're all that I wanted
You are everything I have desired
I was lost, you're my compass
I was wandering aimlessly, but you guide me
Like you've come from where the lord is
It feels like you've been heaven-sent
With peace to bathe my soul with
Bringing me tranquility and serenity
I see you and me
I envision a future together for you and me
Like we're the sun and the sea
An inseparable pair like the sun and the sea
Or the fall and the leaves
Symbolizing a natural connection like the fall and the leaves
Or a spoon and a bowl of ice-cream
A perfect match, like a spoon and a bowl of ice cream
We're whole
Together, we are complete
We were made to finish each other
We were destined to complement and complete one another
You're what my soul has
You are the missing piece my soul longed for
Been aching to discover
I have been yearning to find you
Like you're coco and I'm winter time
Drawing a comparison between warmth and coziness
Oh, I'm the appetite, baby
I have a strong desire and craving for you
You are dinner time
You are the complete satisfaction, like a fulfilling meal
You're the knock out the park in the 9th
You are an incredible success, like hitting a home run in the final inning
And I'm your home base, darling
I am here to support and provide a safe place for you
We were meant to collide
Our paths were destined to intersect
I want all the rest my seasons spent with you
I want to spend all my future seasons with you
I want your salt and pepper
I desire the ups and downs, the full experience of life with you
Braids when I'm 81 so can we mix our grief
Even in old age, I want to intertwine our sorrows
Can we mix our happiness
Can we combine our joys and celebrate together
Can we mix our homes take our broken pieces
Can we merge our lives, mending our broken parts
Like we're both adhesive and make one whole
Coming together like glue, creating a complete entity
And yeah, I want cash and cars
Sure, material possessions like money and vehicles are desirable
But I want you too, mama
But above all, I want you, my love
So can we take you and add me
So, can we combine ourselves, joining our lives and experiences
And a car, the summer season
And the freedom that comes with a car during the summer
And a view of the beach and a backseat
And the beauty of the beach and the intimacy of the backseat
Baby, that's the recipe
That combination is everything I need for happiness
