"Can't Keep It Casual" lyrics

"Can't Keep It Casual"

It's been a hot minute since I showed up
Drunk at your doorstep
Sure is a little different, settings wise
Sure is a little hard to hold your eyes
Easy to go with it when it's months on
From the next morning
From a share house shower, just me and you
To a crowded venue

Tie my hair up to make myself up
See that I've got you in my peripheral vision
Last time you saw me like this
We were seconds from a kiss
Now that it's done
The moment's long gone
We don't speak of it 'cause it's odd to revisit it
The time I knew you like that
But as I'm playing it back

Oooh I know it's cool to
Only want love in portions
But when I proceed with caution
He's all I can see
The longer I stay, I'm fragile
When you want to keep it casual

It's been a hot minute since I met you
Stoned staying interstate
Sure is a little different, our dynamic
Sure is a little hard to break bad habits
Easy it go with it when we're closer
Now in a new way
From a failed attempt at a one night stand
To being better as friends

I'd call you up
My girls called my bluff
Said you were not worthy of the love I envision
Last time they saw me like this
Isn't something that they miss
Now that it's done
The moment's long gone
We don't speak of it 'cause it's odd to revisit it
The time I knew you like that
One of the two got attached

Oooh I know it's cool to
Only want love in portions
But when I proceed with caution
He's all I can see
The longer I stay, I'm fragile
When you want to keep it casual

I can't keep it casual
(Baby boy really what did you expect?)
Can't keep it casual
(Two the three times 'til it's imminent)
Can't keep it casual
(Baby boy really what did you expect?)
Can't keep it casual
(Physical, but it's all intimate)

Oooh I know it's cool to
Only want love in portions
But when I proceed with caution
He's all I can see
The longer I stay, I'm fragile
When you want to keep it casual

I can't keep it casual
(Baby boy really what did you expect?)
Can't keep it casual
(Two the three times 'til it's imminent)
Can't keep it casual
(Baby boy really what did you expect?)
Can't keep it casual
(Physical, but it's all intimate)
Yeah
