Faire l’amour lendemain
What if the sky was turning red?
I know we’d be safe right here in my bed, laying face to face
Oh girl, I love the way you sound when you rain on me
So tonight let’s act it out, and show you how it’s gon’ be
I’m gon’ kiss your other set of lips
Hold your body by your legs and hips
The world can’t end until we’re finished
Girl, we gon’
And we gon’ do it like it’s ’bout to be the end of the world
And they depending on us
To make Earth-shaking love
As we lay down, lay down
Telling me to go harder, go harder
You’re telling me to go deeper, go deeper
I feel your knees getting weaker and weaker
We can go longer if you just lay down, lay down, down
All these vibrations from your legs, massaging my back
I got your body shivering ’cause we’re covered in sweat
And girl, I like the way it opens up when you throw it back, baby
Girl, it might be too much, oh baby, if you keep doing that
I got that pillow for your knees right here
Baby, can you make it disappear?
Your voice is the last thing I’m gonna hear
Then I wanna make you holler
We gon’ do it like it’s ’bout to be the end of the world
And they depending on us
To make Earth-shaking love
As we lay down, lay down
And you’re, you’re telling me to go harder, go harder
You’re telling me to go deeper, go deeper
I feel your knees getting weaker and weaker
We can go longer as we lay down, lay down, down
Do it like we only got one (Got one)
Baby, let’s pretend we only got one night
One last time, let me take my time
And do it to you right
Buildings and bridges may be falling down
But that won’t stop me from turning that thing around, girl, yeah
Won’t you come on over
And we can treat it like it’s the motherfuckin’
End of the world? (Woo!)
And they depending on us (And they depending on us to make it)
To make Earth-shaking love
As we lay down, lay down (We can, we can)
Telling me to go harder, go harder
(A nigga goin’ hard in the paint, you think I can’t)
You’re telling me to go deeper, go deeper
(A nigga so deep, underwater, can you feel my submarine?)
I feel your knees getting weaker and weaker
(Use my hands, and baby, you gon’ get this rain)
We can go longer if you just lay down (Lay down), lay down, down (Lay down)
A nigga goin’ hard in the paint, you think I can’t?
Watch a nigga go hard in the paint, you think I can’t?
(Lay, lay, lay down)
Goin’ for miles, no stops
(So good, lay down)
A nigga goin’ hard in the paint (Right now)
Watch a nigga go hard in the paint (Just take that)
Watch a nigga go hard in the paint, you think I can’t? (Get it, get it)
Watch a nigga go hard in the paint, you think I can’t? (Get it, get it)
Watch a nigga go hard in the paint (Get it, lay down)
Watch a nigga go hard in the paint
Passion at the Edge of the World
Chris Brown’s “2012” dives into the intensity of love amidst apocalyptic imagery, blending sensuality with urgency. The lyrics paint a picture of two lovers acting as if the world is ending, channeling all their energy and emotion into a single night together. Brown uses vivid metaphors and evocative language to emphasize the physical and emotional connection between the couple, making each moment feel monumental and irreplaceable.
The Power of Connection
The song’s repeated references to ‘going harder’ and ‘deeper’ symbolize not just physical intimacy, but also the drive to make every second count. The apocalyptic theme raises the stakes, suggesting that love can be a powerful force even at the end of the world. Brown’s delivery and lyrical choices highlight vulnerability, desire, and the need for genuine connection when faced with uncertainty.
