Read Between the Lines

One, two, three, four

If I say my relationship is kind of complicated
With my ex-girlfriend or with my dad (w-with, with my)
Then I actually mean that the relationship is simple (simple)
It is just bad (it's just bad, bad)

And if I click "attending" to your shithouse house party
For seventy people I don't know (I don't fuckin' know)
Even if you ask me on the day and I say "yes" (yes)
I'm still not going to go
Please don't make me say it

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the ('tween the) lines
I'm bein' subtle, delicate
You massive, stupid piece of shit

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the
It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the, 'tween the lines

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the fuckin' lines
I'm bein' subtle, delicate
You massive, stupid-

Another example
If he says, "nice head"
That means you got a bad head
If she says, "I literally can't"
She literally can, she's using hyperbole

"G'day, champion", I'd like to fight you
"How are you, big fella?", do you wanna get stabbed?
"Hello, sunshine", g'day, big wheels
"Yeah, alright, legend", you're going to die

"Do it for exposure", we're not gonna pay you
"It's not you, it's me", it is you
"I don't really date much" I'm scared it's gonna hurt me
"Wanna see some improv?", I'm a bit quirky

(Literally anything) "I have a pen," wink
That made it sexual
"Yeah, nah, yeah, nah, yeah"
Well, that's Australian and highly contextual

I wouldn't say I'm bad at sex
I'd just say I'm yet to reach my potential
I won't say this doesn't make sense

I'll just say my art can be tangential
You can be anything you wanna be
As long as you mean what you say
But never say what you mean

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the
It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the, 'tween the lines

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the
It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the, 'tween the lines

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the
It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the, 'tween the lines

Baby, baby
Please don't misunderstand me
I'll always leave you a clue
Assume, presume
Don't wait, it's time to speculate
You've got to see the signs
Read between my fuckin' lines

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the
It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the, 'tween the lines

Assume, presume
Don't wait, it's time to speculate
It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the, 'tween the lines

It's not what's said, what's implied
Read between the (fuckin' lines)
(I'm bein' subtle, delicate) it's not what's said, what's implied
(You massive, stupid) read between the, 'tween the lines
