Slapback
Navigating Love's Complexity: Slapback by Squirrel Flower Unraveled
Lyrics
I don't know what I could do if not this
I'm uncertain about any other path than this one.
And I think of you all the way back.
I reminisce about you extensively.
You could tell me that my smile is diamonds
You could praise me intensely.
And then you could take it all back.
Then retract all your compliments.
I don't know what I could do if not this
I'm uncertain about any other path than this one.
And I think of you all the way back.
I reminisce about you extensively.
You could tell me that my body is sacred
You could consider my body as sacred.
And then you could take it all back
Then retract your regard for it.
And then you could take it all back.
Repeating the idea of taking back praise.
Good thing my body is for my eyes only
I value my body's privacy.
I own it and I will attack.
I possess it and will fiercely defend it.
Good thing my smile is part of my body
I value my smile as a part of myself.
I own it and I will attack.
I possess it and will fiercely defend it.
You don't care what my answer is
You're indifferent to my response.
But if you slap me I'll slap you right back.
If you harm me, I'll retaliate.
You're not one to think of things like that
You're not inclined to consider certain things.
No, you're not one to think of things like that
Reiterating the idea that you're not introspective.
So, I'll be quiet
Choosing to remain silent.
I'll be gentle
Opting for a gentle response.
And I'll call you right back.
Intending to return your call later.
