I watch you sleeping, well you ain't keeping no secrets from me
I know where you wanna be
you're always keeping warm in my burgundy bed
and I'm in my nervous head
You insult my intelligence, when you tell me he's just a friend
and now I can't sleep
'Cause I know I can't compete
not with Niko, he's a painter, he's so zen
You're always fishing, wishing i'd come and hug a tree
but i need to feel concrete.
Now don't go thinking just 'cause i run like a rat in a maze
that my heart ain't in the right place
It's a bad situation, a hazard of my occupation
I got no time for peace
So I know I can't compete, I ain't complete
not like Niko, he's a painter, he's so zen
I can't compete, I know I can't compete
not with Niko, no no
I can't compete, I'm incomplete
I know where you wanna be
you're always keeping warm in my burgundy bed
and I'm in my nervous head
You insult my intelligence, when you tell me he's just a friend
and now I can't sleep
'Cause I know I can't compete
not with Niko, he's a painter, he's so zen
You're always fishing, wishing i'd come and hug a tree
but i need to feel concrete.
Now don't go thinking just 'cause i run like a rat in a maze
that my heart ain't in the right place
It's a bad situation, a hazard of my occupation
I got no time for peace
So I know I can't compete, I ain't complete
not like Niko, he's a painter, he's so zen
I can't compete, I know I can't compete
not with Niko, no no
I can't compete, I'm incomplete
