CODES Lyrics by PÆRISH

La Petite Mort

2016

[Intro]
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code

[Verse 1]
Oh no, I should be leaving or at least believing
I believe that I want to believe in something
Oh no, I should leave you, but instead I can't leave you alone
Are we talking in love or just talking in code?

[Hook]
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code

[Chorus]
Don't tell me 'bout my heart, I know, I know, I know it beats out of time
But I'll give you a head-start on decoding this head of mine
I said peace to my peace of mind
When I made peace with that fact that I
Am going to love you till the day I die
Then I'll rest in pieces, pieces of you and I

[Verse 2]
Oh no, don't think that I haven't already figured you out
Your head's become my house
Boy you're talking so loud, but you ain't opened your mouth, no
Oh no, I can't shake off this chip on my shoulder
Guess that I'm getting older
But if you come closer, I'll surrender composure
Oh no, I should leave you, but instead I can't leave you alone
Are we talking in love, or just talking in code?

[Hook]
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code

[Chorus]
Don't tell me 'bout my heart, I know, I know, I know it beats out of time
But I'll give you a head-start on decoding this head of mine
I said peace to my peace of mind
When I made peace with that fact that I
Am going to love you till the day I die
Then I'll rest in pieces, pieces of you and I

[Hook]
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code

[Chorus]
Don't tell me 'bout my heart, I know, I know, I know it beats out of time
But I'll give you a head-start on decoding this head of mine
I said peace to my peace of mind
When I made peace with that fact that I
Am going to love you till the day I die
Then I'll rest in pieces, pieces of you and I

[Hook]
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
Talk, talk, talk, talk, talking in code
