Still alive in the summertime
Trying hard not to fantasize
There’s no reason behind the rhyme
Blinking hard now through different eyes
But I feel like I’m doing fine
Now I’m starting to realize
Uh, oh
Something of an epiphany
There’s a shift in the atmosphere
Living only for you to see
Saving face ‘til the coast is clear
I can’t tell if it’s really me
A different face or a different mirror
Mirror or mirage
All I see is the façade
Broken glass or broken barriers
Walls ten feet tall
We used to be on the same page
All your words are seeded in deception
Used to be headed the same way
Now we step in opposite directions
Bags packed by the door
Switchin’ up the code up so much I don’t even know what game we’re playing anymore
I work way too hard Just to end up making loving you a chore
How’d I end up on the floor?
I don’t think I want this anymore
I don’t think I want this anymore!
All this codeswitching’s got my head spinning,
Got my tongue twisting, don’t know where to go from here
I’m trying and I ain’t lying but the well’s drying up
You’re moving on and you’re grooving
And I’m just losing sight of how we got to here
Codeswitching’s got my head aching
Got my bones shaking and it’s got my heart breaking
Disregard anything I knew
Another pawn in another game
Any mask I could wear for you
Any part you want me to play
Makes it harder to see the view
Shadows cast over yesterday
Uh, oh
Mirror or mirage
All I see is the façade
Broken glass or broken barriers
Walls ten feet tall
We used to be on the same page
All your words are seeded in deception
Used to be headed the same way
Now we step in opposite directions
Bags packed by the door
Switchin’ up the code up so much I don’t even know what game we’re playing anymore
I work way too hard Just to end up making loving you a chore
How’d I end up on the floor?
I don’t think I want this anymore
I don’t think I want this anymore!
All this codeswitching’s got my head spinning,
Got my tongue twisting, don’t know where to go from here
I’m trying and I ain’t lying but the well’s drying up
You’re moving on and you’re grooving
And I’m just losing sight of how we got to here
Codeswitching’s got my head aching
Got my bones shaking and it’s got my heart breaking
Who talk first?
You gonna talk first?
Or I’m gonna talk first?
I’m not sure that anything can be said
That’s not gonna end up without feelings hurt
You so cold all my friends call you Frozone
Why you still wanna go through my old phone?
I can’t focus when you don’t got clothes on
Smoke and mirrors gonna mess up the ozone
Knew I wasn’t ever good at chess
Girl, you know just how to push my buttons
Then, when I got really good at chess
We end up playing checkers all of a sudden
Would dream about waking up with you right here
Every day would be a blessing
Now I only see you in my nightmares
Think it’s safe to say I’m stressing
Mirror or mirage
All I see is the façade
Broken glass or broken barriers
Walls ten feet tall
We used to be on the same page
All your words are seeded in deception
Used to be headed the same way
Now we step in opposite directions
Bags packed by the door
Switchin’ up the code up so much I don’t even know what game we’re playing anymore
How’d I end up on the floor?
I work way too hard Just to end up making loving you a chore
I don’t think I want this anymore
I don’t think I want this anymore!
All this codeswitching’s got my head spinning,
Got my tongue twisting, don’t know where to go from here
I’m trying and I ain’t lying but the well’s drying up
You’re moving on and you’re grooving
And I’m just losing sight of how we got to here
Codeswitching’s got my head aching
Got my bones shaking and it’s got my heart breaking
Still alive in the summertime
I don’t know that I’m doing fine
Every time that you cross my mind
Shivers run up and down my spine
Who are you and who am I?
And should we say goodbye?
Uh, oh
