Infinity
Nils A Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't be like that, you're an impasse
An obstacle to romance
Darling, lose the fucking attitude
And I can resume loving you
Yeah you're heaven when you want to be
But when you are not, the ledge becomes an option
I tend to ponder often every day, and say

Let's do whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Let's do whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
That's what I want

Wearing sevens on your sleeve
I just can't even believe the things you say and do
All this time I never knew you
Were in doubt enough for two

You can't smile when I'm happy
Okay, that's just fine
When will you and me come to terms and finally cease

Let's do whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Let's do whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want
Whatever you want

And another thing, baby
I never loved you
And I hate your friends
Loving you, honey
It's a pain of infinity
Pain of infinity

And it's whatever you want
Whatever you want

Whatever you want
Whatever you want

Don't be like that, you're an impasse
Don't be difficult, you're a hindrance

An obstacle to romance
You're getting in the way of our love

Darling, lose the fucking attitude
Change your attitude, my love

And I can resume loving you
Then I can love you again

Yeah you're heaven when you want to be
You're amazing sometimes

But when you are not, the ledge becomes an option
But sometimes I feel like I'm on the edge

I tend to ponder often every day, and say
I think about this all the time and say

Let's do whatever you want
Let's do what makes you happy

That's what I want
Because that's what I want too

Wearing sevens on your sleeve
Being too open about your emotions

I just can't even believe the things you say and do
Sometimes I'm shocked by what you do and say
