[Verse 1]
A rubber band is what I call your love for me
'Cause it comes and goes and pins me like a trampoline
But all this back and forth is freaky, it's confusing me
Like a pencil tryna write and you're erasing me
If I was a ruler, I'll set you straight
But your love is like a sharpener, it really grates
'Cause whence I'm tryna bounce, you pull me back
And when I try to come to you, you give me slack

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love is pulling like a rubber band
Your love is pulling like a rubber band

[Chorus]
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love

[Verse 2]
A rubber band was an analogy
You can even say it's a metaphor
The tension between you and me
I ain't gonna feel if you let it go
I can take a little bit and make it more
A little bit of hate can make it war
But a lot of love ain't enough
And so, I don't really know how we find the cure

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love is pulling like a rubber band
Your love is pulling like a rubber band

[Chorus]
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love

[Bridge]
Paper clips, they couldn't even hold us together
Paper clips, they couldn't even hold us together
Paper clips, they couldn't even hold us together
If we were gaffer taped, maybe we could spend the summer
You could say your piece, you could post it on a paper
When your love hits, it sticks me like a stapler

[Pre-Chorus]
Your love is pulling like a rubber band
Your love is pulling like a rubber band

[Chorus]
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love
Elastic love, everlastic love, ever lusting love
Such a spastic love
