[Verse 1]
Remember all the weekends that we slowly turned around into ten?
Remember all the weekends that we made last for weeks in the end?
And dressed well is the lady who looks a little crazy in the eye
And doesn't need a match when lights in the fox for the guy
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm feeling pretty heavy now I'm in the bedroom
Well what's she gonna say now I'm in the bedroom?
[Chorus]
Come on and level with me, Laura
I know you're dealing with the trauma
But I could never leave this Lana
If you're not happy with me
If you're not happy with me
Come on and level with me
[Verse 2]
Come and take a chunk off this flakely little heart of mine
Or come and drop a penny before this water turns to ice
And burn me like a book when you're wishing all my sins away
You never really mean it so what's the point in what you say?
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Who's she gonna be when hit the bedroom?
And whom I gonna meet now I've reach the bedroom?
[Chorus]
Come on and level with me, Laura
I know you're dealing with the trauma
But I could never leave this Lana
If you're not happy with me
If you're not happy with me
[Bridge]
But you can say nice things
And touch me up with a silver tongue
And getting rid of the bad things
The only thing you hadn't done
And, honey, you can say nice things
And touch me up with a silver tongue
And getting rid of the bad things
The only thing you haven't done
[Chorus]
Come on and level with me, Laura
I know you're dealing with the trauma
But I could never leave this Lana
If you're not happy with me
If you're not happy with me
Come on and level with me, Laura
I know you're dealing with the trauma
But I could never leave this Lana
If you're not happy with me
If you're not happy with me
Come on and level with me
