Robbin' a Bank
Love Heist: A Romantic Plot Twist in Robbin' a Bank
Lyrics
You say you're sick of fighting / the crashing lack of passion /
You express frustration with constant conflict and a diminishing sense of enthusiasm.
The fact we act so unattached - Relax, I'm having none of that
You reject the idea of remaining emotionally detached and emphasize your disagreement.
You look fantastic / at me, I hatch a plan, romantically
You admire the appearance of the other person and devise a romantic plan to revive the past passion.
For saving/recapturing the passion we had back when we
You aim to restore the passion from a time when both of you had fewer resources but shared dreams.
Had half the cash and matching dreams, so pack the masks and make it seem
You suggest creating a facade with masks to make it seem like a significant event is occurring.
Like this transaction's happening, when fact is this is actually:
You reveal that the apparent transaction is, in reality, a stick-up or a robbery.
This is a stick-up, put the money in the bag
You explicitly state the nature of the situation: a robbery, demanding money to be put in a bag.
I'm banking on a better plan to hit me any day
You express hope for a better plan to come to you, anticipating a positive change.
I'll take you on a date, split everything we take
You suggest a shared experience of robbing a bank, proposing to split the earnings on a date.
So put on your best dress, babe... we're robbin' a bank!
You encourage the other person to dress up because you're going to rob a bank together.
Let's recruit a crop of criminals, a crew to pull this off
You propose forming a diverse group of criminals to execute the bank robbery successfully.
Like a crudité of crime, we need variety to spice it up
You compare the need for variety in criminals to spice up the plan to a diverse selection of appetizers.
But an acrobat can't bend this story back where it began
An acrobat, representing someone skilled, can't change the course of the story.
And all the hackers on the planet cannot patch us up again
You emphasize that even all the hackers in the world cannot fix the situation once it's gone wrong.
We can do this, just the two of us, let's run the classic plan
You express confidence in executing the plan with just the two of you, suggesting a classic approach.
I'll be the distraction and they'll never catch your sleight-of-hand
You assign roles, with you being the distraction and the other person using sleight of hand.
This is a stick-up, put the money in the bag
You repeat the demand for money in the bag, maintaining the theme of the bank robbery.
I'm banking on a better plan to hit me any day
You reiterate your hope for a better plan and a positive change in the situation.
I'll take you on a date, split everything we take
You reaffirm the plan to split the earnings on a date, this time suggesting the other person wears high heels.
So put on your high heels, babe... we're robbin' a bank!
You continue the encouragement for the other person to participate in the bank robbery.
You say you'll rob a bank with me if I'll go to church with you
You recall a deal where the other person agreed to rob a bank if you attended church together.
So I sat through all the hymns in my best shirt and shiny shoes
You narrate attending church in exchange for the agreement, dressing well for the occasion.
But a deal's a deal so you took the wheel and we headed to our mark
You describe heading to the target with the other person taking control of the situation.
You told me to lay low and keep my head down in the car
You're instructed to stay low and quiet in the car, setting the stage for a surprising turn.
You were silent on the drive, it only hit me when we stopped
You notice the silence during the drive and realize the unexpected return to the church.
You had driven us right back to church, Oh God this was a double-cross!
You discover the betrayal as you've been brought back to church, indicating a double-cross.
This is a hiccup, guess you're gonna make me beg
You acknowledge the unexpected turn of events, realizing you might need to plead for a different outcome.
I imagined this finale going off a different way
You express disappointment in how the situation unfolded, contrasting it with your envisioned finale.
Not the 50/50 split I had pictured in my brain
You expected a different split of the outcome, possibly not an equal division as you had imagined.
Cause I would give up all the money in the bag
You emphasize a willingness to give up everything for a chance at a perfect, problem-free conclusion.
All the diamonds in the vault and all the problems that we make
You quantify the extent of what you'd sacrifice, mentioning money, diamonds, and the problems caused.
For a happy-ever-after-heist to make it all okay
You express a desire for a happy ending after the heist, asking if it's possible for everything to be okay.
So for old-time sake, what do you say?
You inquire about robbing a bank for the sake of old times, asking for agreement or confirmation.
Are we robbin' a bank?
You reiterate the question and the theme of robbing a bank, seeking a response or decision.
