Jette-Ives – Vexed (2021 Radio Edit)

Letra “Jette-Ives – Vexed (2021 Radio Edit)” Official Lyrics

[Verse 1]I should sleep
(But I can′t)
I should leave
(But I can’t)
I should strip the paint from the room
Close the windows to the blinds
Bind the door with the broom
— Her fingers, and her lies
The hauntings that occur in the attics of her eyes
I don′t know how you can be so calm

[Verse 2]I should finish what I start
I should put down the pen
No, I must write the beginning
And end it again
— Her anger, and her wiles
Her clever little game
You watch as she destroys
What she would rather maim
I don’t know how you can be so calm

[Chorus]One lover to the next
One scorned, another vexed
And the plot that’s caught between them is unraveling

[Verse 3]I′m sleeping in midair
Terrified of touching down
And scraping ground
Afraid the sound
Of nervous laughter will never leave me

[Verse 4]The one who cannot meet herself in the mirror
— Never knowing which image will first look away
And which mutation will attach itself to her face
— I stay away
I stay away
I don′t know how you can be so calm

[Chorus]One lover to the next:
Do you agree to intercede
Or would you rather oversee
This plot that’s caught between you
(Is unraveling)

[Chorus]There′s one lover to the next
One scorned, another vexed
And I’m the plot
That′s caught
Between you

[Outro]I don’t know how you can be so calm
