(Smooth guitar licks, steady bass line)
Yeah, yeah
Can we talk for a minute?
Just need to get this off my chest
Listen
I come home early just to see your face
But the vibe in the house is all over the place
You look at me like I’m a stranger here
I’m trying to keep it calm, I’m trying to be clear
I ask you how your day went, you give me a cold stare
Like my presence in this room is just thin air
We used to be a team, pushing for the goal
Now I feel like I’m losing all control
I don’t want a battle, I don’t want no fight
I just want us to make everything alright
Why the altitude, why you acting so cold?
We got a story that’s waiting to be told
Drop the defense, let’s get back to the core
I don’t want to wonder what we’re fighting for
If there’s a problem, baby, speak your mind
Let’s leave this heavy spirit far behind
I see you scrolling on your phone when I talk
Every time I reach out, you go for a walk
It’s like you’re building walls up to the sky
And I’m just standing here, wonderin’ why
I provide, I support, I’m trying to be the man
But it’s hard when I don’t understand the plan
Are you tired of me? Or is it just the stress?
We’re making a simple life into a mess
I love you, but this distance is starting to sting
Let’s cut the tension, let’s fix this thing
Why the altitude, why you acting so cold?
We got a story that’s waiting to be told
Drop the defense, let’s get back to the core
I don’t want to wonder what we’re fighting for
If there’s a problem, baby, speak your mind
Let’s leave this heavy spirit far behind
Communication is the key to the lock
Why are we treating our love like a shock?
I’m ready to listen, I’m ready to change
Let’s bring us back into a better range
No more games, no more silent treatment haze
Let’s get back to our brighter, better days
I want to see that smile that I fell for
Not just the silence when I walk through the door
Life is too short to be living in doubt
Let’s figure exactly what this is about
I’m holding your hand, can you feel the heat?
Let’s make our rhythm consistent and sweet
Why the altitude, why you acting so cold?
We got a story that’s waiting to be told
Drop the defense, let’s get back to the core
I don’t want to wonder what we’re fighting for
If there’s a problem, baby, speak your mind
Let’s leave this heavy spirit far behind
Yeah
Let’s leave the altitude behind
Just you and me, real talk
Back to the vibe
We can fix this, baby
