compliments

(album: life's a beach - 2021)

We haven't called each other for days
And, we're never on the same wavelength
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment
Born stars, sitting around in our parked cars
Just waiting on our first pay-check
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise

Good morning world, I left your favourite Marvin Gaye track blasting
Sweet nothings and this pillow talk seems everlasting
Clouds dripping rain upon this heavenly notation
I met you in a dream state, what you doing these days?

You didn't turn up to my show last week
But everything went well, so thanks for asking
Find hidden treasure in every situation
This is my mantra so you can put your hands up

We haven't called each other for days
And, we're never on the same wavelength
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment
And we'll be pop stars, spinning around in our fast cars
Just as soon as we get famous
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment

We're wildflowers in the rain again
And if, my sun's in the shade again
I want to scream out until the message is sent
Free fall out of heaven again
I was, once wild but I'm mellow again
These days are hazy, hazy, hazy
But you can't take a compliment

Good morning sunshine, come tune into my station
Please leave a good review because my reputation is dubious at best
I put it to the test, I put it all on the line for you
In the past I was comfortable enough by myself

But the last one who left had no concern for my health
I beg you, show compassion
'Cause every move we're making is sweet like lemon cheesecake
What you doing these days?

We haven't called each other for days
And, we're never on the same wavelength
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment
Born stars, sitting around in our parked cars
Just waiting on our first pay-check
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment

We're wildflowers in the rain again
And if, my suns in the shade again
I want to scream out until the message is sent
Free fall out of heaven again
I was, once wild but I'm mellow again
These days are hazy, hazy, hazy
But you can't take a compliment

We haven't called each other for days
And, we're never on the same wavelength
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment
And, so far, we're fucking it up so hard
But happiness is contagious
These days, I praise, and praise, and praise
But you can't take a compliment
