Simmer
arms akimbo Lyrics

Are you such a conquest
Are you trying to win me over? Are you trying to conquer me?

and how was I supposed to know?
I didn't know you were trying to conquer me. How was I supposed to know?

you don't touch me like a hand grenade
You're not dangerous to me. I don't feel like you're going to explode and cause harm.

and it nags me like a metronome
But there's this feeling that won't go away, it's like a consistent beat that keeps nagging me.

well I can sneak by windows without making any sound
I'm good at being sneaky and not making any noise when I'm trying to go unnoticed.

I can line along the panel without scuffing up the ground
I can walk along the edge of the wall without leaving any marks on the ground.

am I sounding desperate? is that not allowed?
Do I sound like I'm in desperation? Is that not something I'm allowed to express?

Well talk to me baby just talk
Just talk to me, communicate with me.

You want me to decide my own fate
You're asking me to make a decision that affects my future.

When talk is getting stale my girl we're at a stalemate
When our communication becomes boring, we are at a point where neither of us can make decisions.

now I suffocated you but you burrowed in my head now I'd be lying if I said I wanna sleep in my own bed
I overwhelmed you, but you managed to stay in my thoughts. I'd be lying if I said I want to sleep alone tonight.

Simmer down girl simmer down simmer simmer baby
Calm down, girl, calm down. Just simmer down.

I'd be lying through my teeth yeah I'd be lying through my teeth
I would be lying to say otherwise, I'm not being truthful.

You're chompin' at my coattails and pretending I'm above it
You're eagerly following me and flattering me as if I am superior.

And you ask me, "hey is it better if I stay?" well I could knock this message through the phone
You're asking if it's a good idea to stay, but I'm so frustrated that I feel like I could throw my phone.

I'm working out the kinks and I'm sealing up the cracks
I'm fixing the problems and covering up the weaknesses in this relationship.

I'll make a little pathway you can sneak in from the baby
I'll create a small opening that you can sneak into, my love.

Am I sounding desperate? Will you cut me some slack?
Do I sound too needy? Can you give me a break?

If I'm truly being honest, I'm feeling manic everyday
To be completely honest, I feel anxious and frantic every day.

but I'll be gunnin' after you, I'll be gunnin after you
But I'll still pursue you, I'm not giving up on you.

Simmer down girl simmer down simmer simmer baby
Calm down, girl, calm down. Just simmer down.

I'd be lying if I said I wanna sleep in my own bed tonight
I'd be lying if I said I want to sleep alone tonight.
