lirik lagu james cook - toxic attention
verse 1)
wakin’up to the same old silence, louder than a scream
your side of the bed’s a ghost town,baby, what’s it mean?
we keep subtractin’kisses, addin’ up the lies
watchin’the affection in your eyes just slowly die
i’m checkin’the receipts of every word you’ve spoken
promises are broken,that account is overdrawn
this equation we call”us” has been faulty from the start
and i’m holdin’on the hardest, knowin’ we’re apart
(pre~chorus)
yeah,i see the final number flashin’ in bright red
should collect my heart and leave this mess,but instead…
i’m stayin’for the crash, i’m beggin’ for the pain
knowin’i’m the one who’s gotta lose to win this game
(chorus)
it’s atoxic attraction
and i know it’s time to cash in
‘cuz the math just ain’t addin’up
yeah,i know this love is comin’ to an end
but i’m addicted,baby, to this world of sin
we mix like oj and gin
a bitter~sweet communion,lettin’ the poison in…
toxic attraction
(verse 2)
we’re master chemists in this lab of regret
takin’pure emotion, creatin’ a debt
the formula for disaster,written in our touch
i need you way too much,and that’s askin’ for too much
a soulful contradiction,a beautiful mistake
every”we should end this” is another step we take
deeper into chaos,where the logic disappears
drownin’in the sweetness, while swallowin’ the tears
(pre~chorus)
and i see the exit sign,it’s glowin’ in the dark
should take my love and go and make a brand new start,but…
i’m tradin’my tomorrow for the hurt you sell today
a slave to the melody our damaged hearts play
(chorus)
it’s atoxic attraction
and i know it’s time to cash in
‘cuz the math just ain’t addin’up
yeah,i know this love is comin’ to an end
but i’m addicted,baby, to this world of sin
we mix like oj and gin
a bitter~sweet communion,lettin’ the poison in…
toxic attraction
(bridge)
maybe the”good for me” don’t ever taste this sweet
maybe the”right thing” ain’t got this bittersweet beat…
ooh,this haze feels like home, though it’s tearin’ me down
tryna break the cycle,but i keep spinnin’ ’round…
we mix like…we mix like… (ad~libs)
(guitar solo ~ soulful, crying, melodic. maybe like a late~night d’angelo style solo over the chorus chords)
(chorus ~ more ad~libs, more desperate, vocals layered and strained)
it’s atoxic attraction (this painful satisfaction)
and i know it’s time to cash in(time to walk away)
‘cuz the math just ain’t addin’up (it’s all wrong)
yeah,i know this love is comin’ to an end (to an end)
but i’m addicted,baby, to this world of sin (i need it)
we mix like oj and gin(perfectly wrong)
a bitter~sweet communion,lettin’ the poison in…
toxic attraction
(outro)
(fade out with ad~libs and repetition of the main metaphor)
we mix…we mix like oj and gin…
bitter orange,smoother sin…
math ain’t mathin’,i can’t win…
toxic attraction…
just let the poison in…
(fade out on the bass line and a final,unresolved chord)
