Alvvays – Atop A Cake lyrics

[Verse 1]
I lie on a sofa awake
It's what you said last night
You'd like us on top of a cake
But you won't let me take a bite

[Verse 2]
Flowers arriving in fleets
Can't we talk about this?
Why let the State in our sheets?
Can't we do without it?

[Pre-Chorus]
Well, I don't mean to wind you up
But I'd like to slow it down
How do I remain a pup?
If you put me in a gown?

[Chorus]
What's it gotta do with you?
What's it gotta do with me?
How could I lose control when you're driving from the backseat?
What's it gotta do with you?
What's it gotta do with me?
How could I lose control when you're driving from the backseat?

[Verse 3]
Corners begin to repeat
I think we're getting lost
We walked to the end of the street
But we were bitten by the frost

[Pre-Chorus 2]
So if you have to thaw me out
You can put me in a pail
Can we take another route?
I don't want to wear a veil

[Chorus]
What's it gotta do with you?
What's it gotta do with me?
How could I lose control when you're driving from the backseat?
What's it gotta do with you?
What's it gotta do with me?
How could I lose control when you're driving from the backseat?

[Bridge]
I'll wait in the lobby for someone to show
And if they don't come, I will know where to go
The bodies are lined up outside in the hall
I don't want to decay in a mall

[Chorus 2]
If everything you say is true
Then why would I disagree?
How can I lose control...?

[Chorus]
What's it gotta do with you?
What's it gotta do with me?
How could I lose control when you're driving from the backseat?

When you're driving from the backseat
