5 to 7 by RC McCree Lyrics
Verse 1:
You were kissing tablets of X
(Of X)
The world dissolving under your tongue
While you were out exploring planets
Your name was burning holes in my lungs
I should know
This is how you manage
Using me to take advantage
Of a situation out your control
I get to feeling manic
When you break down the semantics
Justifying every lie that you sold
(You sold)
(You sold)
Burn me up
Burn me up
Yeah
Diving even deeper to the bottom of you cup
I'm deathly ill of the void
From you exploiting the choice
Of inhabiting elsewherе
Chorus:
5 to 7
Had to cut you off
Need a little later than 7 o’clock
Yeah
You'rе so used to getting what you want
Played the fool
I did it once
Don't take off your clothes
Yeah you can leave them on
I don’t need your body
I just need you gone
5 to 7
You keep preaching on
We've been doing this for months
Verse 2:
Coming down
Let's not even start to pretend
You didn't come around
To apologize and grovel again
Word of mouth
Empathy is lost on your friends
And you can't run it ba...
Coming down
Let's not even start to pretend
You didn't come around
To apologize and grovel again
Word of mouth
Empathy is lost on your friends
And you can't run it back
(No, you can’t run it back)
I had to watch us decay
Your teeth doing the same thing
The side of your waist
I acquired all this distain
Pardon my gaze
I got lost inside a daydream
Where we never met
(We never met)
Chorus:
5 to 7
Had to cut you off
Need a little later than 7 o’clock
Yeah
You're so used to getting what you want
Played the fool

Don’t take off your clothes
Yeah you can leave them on
I don't need your body
I just need you gone
