about

Following the early single from Tomatow & Vanessa Victoria titled “Curious” as the beginning of the friendship, “The Things We Do” is about a risky situation, a kind of modern social situation people might refer as a flirtationship: more than a friendship, but less than a relationship.

Vanessa about the song:
“I had a foggy memory about writing the song, I guess it was around December 2019.

The difference with ‘Curious’ is, it was the ‘Can I actually get to know you’ phase, while this one’s more about ‘Now that we know each other, what’s the finish line?’

I listened to the beat Ricky (Tomatow) made, started toplining* and thought to myself this might be a good fit for a scenario of the city lights in the highway, window down, wind passing through my hair, and all that about the fun with a person but not necessarily a romantically involved person, while having all the internally kept doubting questions, like ‘Are we going somewhere with this? Are we gonna grow feelings? But it’s also okay if we don’t, though. Let’s just roll and end up somewhere for the night.’

So this song goes very well with the screw-it mentality. More than that, it’s up for anyone’s interpretation and way to tell their own story. It’s an open ending. So grab your sip of wine because it might lead to another, and enjoy. Drink responsibly folks! And please don’t drive under the influence of alcohol."

lyrics

Verse 1:
Driving through the city passes us by
As we think of what we’ve started
Sipping the bottles, spinning us down
But it’s never too damn late

Pre-chorus 1:
We’re the game running in circles
Roll my dice along the riddles for you, for you

Do you love me when you’re sober?
Will we know bout when it’s over?
Do we want this to be over?

'cause friends don’t do the things we do

Cause friends don’t talk the way we do

(cause friеnds don’t do the things we-)

Versе 2:
Pick up the pieces, what do we call this?
We revealed too much, it’s just luck?
Waking up at 10, don’t wanna leave this place (don’t wanna leave this place)
Messing with our head, don’t wanna leave this bed (just messin with our heads)
Keep our sorrow for tomorrow (for tomorrow baby)

Pre-chorus 2:
You’re the sinner, i’m your dinner
Wear my future it looks better on you, on you

Do you love me when you’re sober?
Do you want this to be over?
I don’t want this to be ever over

Cause friends don’t do the things we do
Cause friends don’t talk the way we do
Guess friends don’t kiss the way we do
(guess friends don’t talk the way we do)
And friends don’t love the way we do
(and friends don’t love the way we-)

Friends just don’t do the things we do

Guess friends don’t kiss the way we do

Friends just don’t do the things we do

(we’re the game running in circles
Roll my dice along the riddles for you, for you)

Guess friends don’t kiss the way we do

(you’re the sinner, i’m your dinner
Wear my future it looks better on you, on you)

Do you love me when you’re sober? (sober, sober)
Will we know bout when it’s over? (over)
Do we want this to be over? (over, over)
I don’t want this to be ever over, oh
