Both Sides Of A Smile Lyrics

Part I

[Intro]
And then, the finer details—who's your Juliet?
What's the dynamic in the situation between the two leads?
You know, I guess we're all just, we're all just looking for a happy ending somewhere

[Pre-Chorus: James Blake]
Babe, it's okay (It's okay)
I don't care if no one knows my name
Pain, it's all the same (All the same)
Even if you think it's all in vain

[Chorus: James Blake]
'Cause now you turn into a rose, into a rose, into a rose, oh-oh, oh-oh
Into a rose, into a rose, into a rose
Oh, could we let it slide?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Looking back it ain't last
The future's just a lie
We'll bе there in a night
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
We'rе both sides of a smile

[Verse: Dave, ShaSimone, Both]
Yeah
You keep the bread all to yourself and you get mold from it
You give a good girl a rose and you get gold from it
Have a child with a rat and you'll get a mouse from it
You give a woman a brick and you'll get a house from it
The first time splittin' up always the hardest thing
Love's a film and I'm just flickin' through the parts I'm in
I told her, "I don't wanna argue in this car I'm in"
And that's when she hit me with a
"Well, I don't get why you would tell me you want me to be your wifey
When you wanna be Romeo, have me here for the rodeo
I don't believe you when you gas me up and hype me
'Cause you lust in these women, you f*ckin' look nothin' like me, David
You find asylum in the countries that you fly me
And carry all of your guilt in designers bags that you buy me, David
I ain't askin' you to be someone you wasn't"
I just wanna f*ck with the person I fell in love with, but uh
Petite waist, sweet face, I'll find another man
You must have forgotten who the f*ck I am
There's plenty niggas waitin' for chances
Ask me if I'm taken, I say, "Taken for granted"
But you know this already
'Cause we've spoken already
Want me to wait 'cause you ain't ready
Now we're both in our 20's/twenties
I'd be a man before I wait for a man
This ends here
'Cause I'll be damned if I give a f*cking loser my best years
Got my own car, own money and my own body
If I show body, this for me, this ain't for nobody
I'ma change the lock on the door, think I'm a homebody?
You won't have a house to f*cking live in
'Cause you taught me you don't listen, there's a difference in mistakes and decisions, David
The first time was the worst time
It didn't hurt like the second or the third time
She put her life on pause
[Chorus: James Blake]
'Cause now you turn into a rose, into a rose, into a rose, oh-oh, oh-oh
Into a rose, into a rose, into a rose
Oh, could we let it slide?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Looking back it ain't last
The future's just a lie
We'll be there in a night
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
We're both sides of a smile

Part II

[Intro: James Blake]
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm

[Verse: Dave & James Blake]
Yeah
I just came to the area I grew up in
And they can't even see the car but from the engine
They know it's me From North [?], the boat to the coast, the coastal Greece
I'm most at home in the places I ain't supposed to be
I grew up seeing mommy count pennies (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Tryna buy a train ticket but forget sayin' woe is me
Now I'm in LA with the open sea
They both feel like things I wasn't supposed to see (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Used to be my post, we was close
Now we argue to the rhythm of a broken beat
To the beat of a broken heart
Napoleon Bonaparte meets Joan of Arc (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
We're both fightin' the sea, this is Noah's ark
We're lovers with a broken past, grew apart
Most things that last have the slowest start
A lotta pain and a lotta tears (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
The only reason that I lie it's 'cause of what I fear
My girl knows that I'm a fan of charity but there's some information I ain't never gonna volunteer (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
I wish that I could pay for my sins with a lump sum
Restore her belief in me with a trust fund
The money can't buy nothing when the love's done
I used to cheat with Americans for a living, I felt nervous every time I got a call from a plus one (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
It takes years to build when you love one
Two and half minutes and it's undone (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Bought my girl a Birkin and she told me that these bitches can't chat to her, I tell her that they never could
You know you love her when you're doin' shit you never would
Come up off the drugs and bank scams (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
How the f*ck you think I got the name Santan?
Run up on me and get a skin tan
Only when you're gone they feel your impact
Nineteen, I had dreams of a wedding ring (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
So focused on running our race
You can ask James Blake, I ain't see the color in anything
And then the world got darker than its ever been (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Real estate, I buss a smile
International, that's how I'm comin' now
Mortgage on the yard like twenty-two hundred but the rent's got it covered by a country mile
(Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Feels like my luck's been runnin' out
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
(Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
(Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
[Outro: James Blake & Dave]
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Oh, oh, oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
