Tema[]
Esta canción implica que el narrador está discutiendo una discusión con alguien, como lo indican el primer y segundo verso, lo que implica que la pareja podría estar peleando verbal y físicamente en varias situaciones. Por otro lado, la condición en la que el narrador parece querer encontrar una solución a su dilema siempre resulta en una pelea.
Letra[]
[Estrofa 1]
You're always gonna say it, but you're never gonna do it
And if we're being honest, man, you really put me through it
I'm gonna breathe it out next time we scream and shout
And I'm not like your other types, you know I'll put up a fight
Not because I want to, just because it ain't right
To cut me with your words and think I won't be hurt
[Coro]
Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need, please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'
[Estrofa 2]
I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)
Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy
[Coro]
Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need, please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, no stressin'
[Estrofa 3]
Don't dress it up, tell me the raw and real
I can't mind read how you feel
Open your throat
I'm gonna climb in to catch what you said to me
Your tongue is as, as cutting as, as a machete
[Puente]
Under the desk
It's pretty vulnerable, I confess
You're always safe with me
So don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm trying to find the solution, no stressin'
[Coro]
Under the desk
I'm never gonna leave in the mess
If I tell you what I need, please address
Don't sweat, don't sweat, don't sweat
And over the top
I know you think I'm being a lot
I'm just tryna find the solution
Don't stress, don't stress, don't stress
[Outro]
I'm not in the mood to duck your punches
Your mouth moves like running water
Or a fucked up forest fire
(You hide it well beneath your smile)
Future looks so good when you're like taffy
Soft and lovin', gets you goodies
Keep it balanced, keep it groovy
[Estrofa 1]
You're always gonna say it, but you're never gonna do it
And if we're being honest, man, you really put me through it
I'm gonna breathe it out next time we scream and shout
And I'm not like your other types, you know I'll put up a fight
Not because I want to, just because it ain't right
To cut me with your words and think I won't be hurt
[Coro]
Under the desk

No stress, no stress, no stressin'
[Estrofa 2]

You hide it well beneath your smile
Future looks so good when you're like taffy
