Lyrics

I see your message on the whiteboard I got your telephone call When you decide on your choices Think of the consequences Think of the consequences (I know, I know) I know you're testing all the boundaries (a little bit me, a little bit you) I see your crocodile tears (playing games) (I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots (don't wanna lose this) At the consequences (beautiful love we found) (And if I can) Consequences I'd take away all the pain and the hurt I've caused you I know, I know You wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again Finger-pointing is aggressive I'm no angel, I know But don't just follow your impulses Actions have a voice that cries out Just tell me what you want me to know (I know, I know) In the end, we will better (a little bit me, a little bit you) If we can sit and talk (playing games) (I know, I know) No retribution (don't wanna lose this) The past has a part to play and (beautiful love we found) (And if I can) Decisions we make today we (I'd take away all the) Can't know the consequences (pain and the hurt I've caused you) (I know, I know) The consequences You wanna do the same 'cause you want things right again Don't want a power struggle I just want to reinforce the choice If your actions hurt my heart I gotta show you just how much You're testing boundaries, pushing limits Giving in might be easier To let you in and bear the consequences You won't lose your sense of self Water has a natural way it flows Let's try hard to work things out Let's have a plan A, B, C and D Set up guidelines, keep our cool Can't maintain the status quo We got problems And there are consequences Don't give me drama and emotion We're gonna follow this through We've gotta take away restrictions And face the consequences I know you're testing all the boundaries I see your crocodile tears I'm gonna keep throwing up shots At the consequences (I know, I know) I know you're testing all the boundaries (a little bit of me, a little bit of you) I see your crocodile tears (playing games) (I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots (don't wanna lose this beautiful) At the consequences (love we found) (And if I can) I know you're testing all the boundaries (I'd take away all the pain) I see your crocodile tears (and the hurt I've caused you) (I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots (you wanna do the same 'cause you want) At the consequences (things right again) (I know, I know) I know you're testing all the boundaries (a little bit of me, a little bit of you) I see your crocodile tears (playing games) (I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots (don't wanna lose this beautiful) At the consequences (love we found) (And if I can) I know you're testing all the boundaries (I'd take away all the pain) I see your crocodile tears (and the hurt I've caused you) (I know, I know) I'm gonna keep throwing up shots
