Description
The light from the window gently cuts through the dusty air, the smell of hot cocoa fills the room, there are vases of tulips on the floor and a wet rug by the bathroom - it's like someone's spontaneous still life. This music has the coziness of an old house that leaks a little, creaks, and needs repairs, but that only makes it warmer. It's not about order - it's about the desire to let someone into your space and give them the key to your heart along with the key to the door.
Sexuality coexists here with everyday trifles, like hoarse jazz with Etta James' whisper - effortless, intimate, with a hint of playful chaos. The rhythm seems to pull you by the hand: “Come in, stay, this is our place now.”
Lyrics and translation
Original
Turn the music up (ooh)
I need, I need, I need that shit to knock (ooh)
Yeah, you can turn her up too
Baby, welcome to my house, coat out
Hot cocoa on the couch, lay it down
Etta James surround with the sound
Maybe you can help out, look around
Got some walls that need paintin', rearrangin'
See them legs on the table, kind of shaky
Got some pipes that be leakin', do you see it?
You can stay here for the weekend, no leavin'
Ooh, baby, I want you to fill this vacancy, come through
Ooh, baby, I want you to move in this space with me tonight
Ooh, baby, I want you to fill this vacancy, come through
Ooh, baby, I want you to move in this space with me tonight
I do, tonight
Motion in the bathtub, fill it up
Got some water on the rug, made it flood
Maybe you could use your tongue, like a plug
Look in my eyes while I chug, know it's snug
I don't care (no), 'cause you're here with me
Pull my hair, take it there
It's where I wanna be
Ooh, baby, I want you to fill this vacancy, come through
Ooh, baby, I want you to move in this space with me tonight
Ooh, baby, I want you to fill this vacancy, come through
Ooh, baby, I want you to move in this space with me tonight
I do, tonight
Tulips in a vase full of water, baby, when you make it grow for me (mm)
Made a spare key just for you, baby, I want you to open me
I want you movin' in with me
I need you movin' in with me
My place ain't for what's mine, it's yours, our love
