Yeah
Hmm hmm
Hmm hmm
Yeah

She do whatever she like
And that just don't seem right
Yeah, make people so mad
Yeah, and want her so bad, hm
Well, we was fuckin', almost missed my flight
I wasn't even trippin', I said it's all right
Yeah, goddamn, we was hit last night
Wouldn't you rather get along?
Wouldn't you rather get along?
You was coughin' when you hit my weed
But I've never seen you feel that free
So cute, you wanna be like me
Wouldn't you rather get along?
Wouldn't you rather get along?

Until, until, there is no longer
Let's get lost inside the clouds
And you, you don't gotta work harder
I can calm you down

Yeah, well I was busy when you hit my phone
But you miss me, tell me come back home
Yeah, and you don't really like to sleep alone
But I'm takin' too long
I'm always takin' too long
Baby we don't need a trip, we could be right here
When the shit get weird, we could switch up gears
I wanna see them lips, kiss 'em ear to ear
I wanna hear your song
Ooh, I wanna feel just how you feel
Touch it one more time so I know you're real
We could spin that wheel, wouldn't you rather get along?

Until, until, there is no longer
Let's get lost inside the clouds
And you, you don't gotta work harder
I can calm you down

I think we just might be alright
Thank god
I think we're gonna be alright, alright, okay
Hold me close, don't hold your breath




That's really your favorite
I know

Winning a Grammy is overrated you’ve touched more souls then the past ten Grammy winners

@PodRealoaded

I'm still mad they cheated Kendrick on 2 deserved Grammys (album of the year when Taylor won and the infamous Macklemore incident)

@finnegansiemion3692

The Grammys are so poor and don’t even recognize the most talented albums. They just award the most mainstream popular albums that play on the radio.

@tranq_8905

Yeah I think the Grammys have really fallen from grace recently

@irhamtaufiq52

Fact
