Lips Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(Whoa)
Let’s talk all about the way
The way your mouth moves
When you
Try to speak honestly
You’re fluent in faking things
[Pre-Chorus]
What do you look (What do you look)
What do you look like
When you lie
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s that loose-lipped way you make your words roll
Off that two-bit tongue
When you lie
You can’t keep talking like this
Lips do more than just kiss
[Verse 2]
Let’s talk about the way
The way we talk (Oh, yeah)
And how you
Gossip on everything
You’re so fluent in tragedy
[Pre-Chorus]
What do you look (What do you look)
What do you look like
When you lie
[Refrain]
I don’t wanna talk
I don’t wanna talk
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s that loose-lipped way you make your words roll
Off that two-bit tongue
When you lie
You can’t keep talking like this
Lips do more than just kiss
It’s on your lips, when you’re talking
It’s on your lips, when you lie
You can’t keep talking like this
Lips do more than just, kiss
[Bridge]
You mislead
You rewind
On repeat
All of the time
Every word
Every line
On repeat
All of the time
All of the time, yeah
[Chorus]
Maybe it’s that loose-lipped way you make your words roll
Off that two-bit tongue
When you lie
You can’t keep talking like this
Lips do more than just kiss
It’s on your lips, when you’re talking
It’s on your lips, when you lie
You can’t keep talking like this
Lips do more than just kiss

What did The Maine say about "Lips"?
I think, for me, it was important to convey the idea that there’s a huge responsibility that comes with the ability to communicate. You can do a lot of good with communication and with your words, but you can also do a lot of negative. It was important for me to highlight the idea that words are imp...
