I Could Lyrics by Phlake, Mercedes the Virus

The Illegal Download Of Your Soul

2020

[Intro: Mercedes the Virus]
I could
I could

[Verse 1: Mads Bo]
Pushing my buttons, I'm going overboard
Hands in my pocket reaching for antidotes
Fists full of feelings, no, you don't wanna know
What's on my mind and what I'm thinking right now

[Pre-Chorus 1: Mads Bo]
We back and forth, you know how it goes
Been there before, that part of the story's told
If you're trying to rewrite it then I don't wanna know
What's on your mind

[Chorus: Mads Bo, Mercedes the Virus]
'Cause I don't wanna talk about it
I'd rather stay in awkward silence
What if we could keep it quiet?
I could, I could
No, I don't wanna talk about it
We can find a way around it
If we just could keep it quiet
I could, I could

[Verse 2: Mads Bo]
The Sativa kicking in now
I'm about to let my guard down
All around I'm hearing new sounds
It's so soft and clear in this atmosphere
We can make the wrongs right
Though we standing on a fine line
How do we make sure it never backfire?
We should stay in space, float into place

[Pre-Chorus 2: Mads Bo, Mercedes the Virus, Both]
We back and forth, you know how it goes
Been here before, this part of the story's old
Tryna rewrite, it's been one hell of a show
Leave it behind (Leave it behind)

[Chorus: Mads Bo, Mercedes the Virus]
'Cause I don't wanna talk about it
I'd rather stay in awkward silence
What if we could keep it quiet?
I could, I could
No, I don't wanna talk about it
We can find a way around it (I could)
If we just could keep it quiet (I could)
I could, I could, I could

[Bridge: Mercedes the Virus]
Easy to say you're fed up
But what makes you so much better? (Uh, fuck)
It's clear in the rearview mirror
That I could
I could have played dumb and kept my mouth shut
Pretended to have fun to watch it all rot
But no one here won this marathon run
Silence gon' come, but not like this, hun

[Chorus: Both, Mercedes the Virus]
'Cause I don't wanna talk about it
I'd rather stay in awkward silence
What if we could keep it quiet
I could, I could, I could

[Outro: Mercedes the Virus]
I could, I could, I could, I could
I could, I could, I could, I could
