We Fight Beautifully

Lyrics

[Intro - 808 kick drops over banjo, uptempo]
We fight beautifully, yeah we fight beautifully
Thirty-four years and she still gets to me
[Verse 1 - rap-sung, loose and confident]
She's got an opinion and I've got one too
And sometimes those opinions got nothing to do
With logic or reason or who's actually right
We just both need to win so we light up the night
Thermostat's a battlefield, dinner is a war
I said turn it up she said what do you want it for
I said where you wanna eat she said I don't care
Then she definitely cared and I better beware
[Pre-Chorus - building]
We don't fight dirty, we don't fight mean
We just fight loud like you know what I mean
Like two people who know every button to push
But neither one's willing to give it a shush
[Chorus - full wobble trap energy, fiddle stabs]
We fight beautifully
Oh we fight beautifully
She comes at me swinging and I love it truly
We fight beautifully
Go toe to toe
She knows I love her and I want her to know
That when the smoke clears baby I'm still here
We fight beautifully after thirty-four years
[Verse 2 - storytelling, a little faster]
Sometimes it's the stress that just needs somewhere to land
And I'm standing right there so she takes my hand
And wrings it out good till we've both said our piece
Then we look at each other like — okay, release
She thinks I'm wrong and she is usually right
But I can't just say that in the middle of a fight
So I circle around and I take the long way
And somehow we both end up at the same place anyway
[Pre-Chorus]
We don't fight dirty, we don't fight mean
We just fight loud like you know what I mean
Like two people who know every button to push
But neither one's willing to give it a shush
[Chorus]
We fight beautifully
Oh we fight beautifully
She comes at me swinging and I love it truly
We fight beautifully
Go toe to toe
She knows I love her and I want her to know
That when the smoke clears baby I'm still here
We fight beautifully after thirty-four years
[Bridge - drops to sparse, almost spoken, genuine]
And then it gets quiet
And we both know
We went too hard
And it's time to let go
She says I'm sorry
And she means every word
And I say I'm sorry
And I mean what she heard
And we're back to us again
Just like that
Thirty-four years and we know where it's at
[Chorus - biggest drop, full wobble energy]
We fight beautifully
Oh we fight beautifully
She comes at me swinging and I love it truly
We fight beautifully
Go toe to toe
She knows I love her and I want her to know
That when the smoke clears baby I'm still here
We fight beautifully after thirty-four years
[Outro - half time, cocky and warm]
Thermostat, dinner, who forgot what
Thirty-four years and we still got that gut
Fight beautifully, fight beautifully
Ain't nobody else I'd rather fight with, truly
[808 and banjo fade]
