DOUBLES

Lyrics

[Intro - whispered, reverb, slow guitar swell] Two of 'em... Copper hair, cold eyes (freckles and smoke...) [Hook - sung, hypnotic, layered harmonies] Freckles and smoke, black nails on my skin Two shades of trouble and they both pull me in Ice in their eyes, sugar in their mouths Balloons in the room but the lights goin' out Freckles and smoke, I can't breathe Two of 'em whisperin' "stay" to me [Verse 1 - rap, slow and low] Walked in the party, both of 'em watchin' Copper hair fallin' like a sunset droppin' One in a corset, one with her hair up Same blue stare like they already know what's up Heart on a chain hangin' low on her neck Rings on her fingers, black tips on my chest I came for a drink, now I'm caught in the middle Pretty little danger, they playin' me like a riddle [Pre-Hook - sung, soft, breathy] And I know I should leave But they're holdin' me close Two angels with matches And I'm made out of smoke [Hook - sung, hypnotic, layered harmonies] Freckles and smoke, black nails on my skin Two shades of trouble and they both pull me in Ice in their eyes, sugar in their mouths Balloons in the room but the lights goin' out Freckles and smoke, I can't breathe Two of 'em whisperin' "stay" to me [Verse 2 - rap, building heat] One say "come here," other one say "closer" Lips on my ear like a slow-burn whisper Neon pink glow off the walls in the dark They don't steal hearts, they just borrow and break 'em apart Lookin' like heaven but they move like a sin Know I'm gon' lose, but I'm still all in Gold on her ear and a smirk on her face I can taste the regret but I love the way it taste [Beat Switch - drums cut, heartbeat, then 808 slam] Pop, pop, the balloons hit the floor Party's over, but they want more Two hearts cold as the rings that they wear I'm the only thing burnin' in here [Bridge - sung, stripped, whisper-close] Don't fall for the freckles Don't fall for the blue 'Cause by the time the sun comes up They'll be done with you [Final Hook - double-tracked, whispered ad-libs] Freckles and smoke, black nails on my skin Two shades of trouble, and I'd do it again Ice in their eyes, sugar in their mouths Balloons on the floor and the lights all out Freckles and smoke, I can't breathe Two of 'em walkin' away from me [Outro - whispered, fading] Freckles... Smoke... (they're gone...) [End]
