Want you close to me More than six degrees Support the weight of me Can't live without that We met at seventeen You were such a drama queen White sands and tangerines Can't live without that But you offer me cold hands Cause I'm not your man And you've always been here Watching me make plans With these one night stands And you've always been clear You feel it, concede it Can't live without that Can't live without that You feel it, conceded Can't live without that Can't live without that We are black as velveteen Focused on our energy Like the sound of tambourines We can't live without that Now you're drifting under seas I been on my Steve McQueen Driving, crashing everything I can't live it like that But you offer me cold hands Cause I'm not your man And you've always been here Watching me make plans With these one-night stands And you've always been clear You feel it, concede it Can't live without that Can't live without that You feel it, conceded Can't live without that Can't live without that I want you close to me More than six degrees Support the weight of me I can't live without that We met at seventeen You were such a drama queen White sands and tangerines I can't live it like that (Can't live it like that) (When you're wrong) You feel it (When you're wrong) Concede it Can't live it like that (Can't live it like that) (When you're wrong) You feel it (When you're wrong) Concede it Can't live it like that (Can't live it like that) You feel it, concede it Can't live it like that (When you're wrong) You feel it, conceded Can't live it like that No, you're wrong
