On Your Terms Lyrics

Look at this West Elm showroom you got here

Marie Kondo approved veneer

If it's not white-washed it'll end up in your closet

I've been waking up here for a couple of months

Tip-toeing my way between your thoughts

Trying to translate what you're doing, from what you tell me

I can fit into your doll house

I can straighten up my tie

I can let go of what I want

I can give up my old life

And our parents will be thrilled

'cuz they did what they're supposed to

Our resumes are flawless

Just one question I have for you

Is why when you're asleep, I'm on fire?

Why does doing what you want always go down so bitter?

Why does being who I am find you so unaware?

What you don't know makes you scared

If it's not your way it's not fair

Cuz love can only happen on your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

On your terms

On your terms

You're all dressed up, your hair's let down

You know what I like, you've made your rounds

Of charming up those closest to me

Charming up those closest to me

You've memorized all your football teams

You hang with the fellas if that's what I please

You say all my music sounds so pretty

Pretty pretty

You can camp out in my studio

You can sing the background lines

You can bite your tongue from saying

How I'm wasting all my time

And our friends will all be thrilled

Cuz we did what we're supposed to

We look happy in their photos

Just one question I have for you

Is why when you're asleep, I'm on fire?

Why does doing what you want always go down so bitter?

Why does being who I am find you so unaware?

What you don't know makes you scared

If it's not your way it's not fair

Cuz love can only happen on your terms

love can only happen on your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

On your terms

On your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

On your terms on your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

On your terms on your terms

My heart is show and tell

But my brain can go to hell

You're not interested in staying if it gets messy

So cheers your nicest glass

Pour on in your grapes of wrath

And I'll do exactly what you say

Say

Say

Say

Why when you're asleep, I'm on fire?

Why does doing what you want always go down so bitter?

Why does being who I am find you so unaware?

What you don't know makes you scared

If it's not your way it's not fair

Cuz love can only happen on your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

Love can only happen on your terms

On your terms ooh

Ooh ooh yeah baby
