Make me wanna sa--
Sometimes, time don't let shit be done.
Sometimes, your mind won't let shit go.
Even if it's what you want, we know...
hearts don't give a good gatdamn, what you want.
What do you need from me?
Feels like the right thing to ask while we're here at the top of the road.
But, I don't know.
I don't know.
Rather say:
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Shit.
I was doing fine spending time getting fucked up,
finding my peace....
alone.
Guess it's never gonna be a good time,
cause time don't give a good gatdamn what you want.
What do you need from me?
Feels like a good time to ask since we're here at the top of the road.
But I don't know.
Man, I don't know.
I'd rather say:
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Saying it won't is only making it worse,
I need to control it.
Nothing goes bad.
Put it away
(and it goes down)
Saying it won't is only making it worse,
I need to control it.
Nothing goes bad.
Put it away.
and it goes down
and it goes down
and it goes down

butterflies and sunshine baby
I can tell that nature loves you
not as much I do lately
you chase all my clouds away
I'm never go let of ya
happiness is all around me
let's run away and build a family
we can catch a flight today
you fit like the pieces in the puzzle
I've been missing
you feel like I always wanna hug you
when we're kissing
I just wanna get much closer
but it seems so far away
you could be the one I keep forever
I'm kinda dreaming
It just be you and me together
I just wanna get much closer
I just wanna hear you say
DO ME DO ME
DO ME DO ME DO ME DO ME
DO ME DO ME
DO ME DO ME DO ME DO ME
chilling on an island somewhere
hummingbird upon my shoulder
holding on to your hand dearly
walking in the sunset breeze
writing my name with yours and
don't you think it seems so perfect
everything seems so perfect
we could do this endlessly
you fit like the pieces in the puzzle
I've been missing
you feel like I always wanna hug you
when we're kissing
I just wanna get much closer
but it seems so far away
you could be the one I keep forever
I'm kinda dreaming
It just be you and me together
I really wanna get much closer
really wanna hear you say
DO ME DO ME
DO ME DO ME DO ME DO ME
DO ME DO ME
DO ME DO ME DO ME DO ME

So Glad It's Over

Ooh, lord.
You're such a fucking baby.
How the fuck do I forget that shit?
Every time it's my fault, like maybe I should set an alarm.
I mean, damn.
Even so much more lately.
And every time, I'm shocked and appalled, like maybe, Jean, you should recall...
how this nigga lane be...
and every time you try to make things right,
he burn it down
to the ground .
Don't turn around, you're such a fucking victim, ain'tcha.
That kinda thing is just your nature.
Well, I kinda hate'cha. (goddamn)
I'm so glad it's over.
So glad that it's over.
Nigga, I'm so fucking glad it's over.
So glad that it's over.
I loved you baby, but that don't make me wrong.
How many damn apologies can one man want?
You run, then walk, right back to guilty threads. I won't.
You must be fucking crazy,
to think I wanna stay in a loss.
I tried to let you get your player shit off,
but let's be real...
you never really understood how it feels.
Mmm.... can I get I witness?
I bet I could. So many bitches.
(rap)
You know what's interesting?
And if everybody had a bit you in em then they would be assholes.
Bitter women, definitive feminists, giving this nigga the pass though.
Remember that Jean is the enemy, really?
You fill in the memory with an epiphany that was a phony epiphany?
What are you kidding?
We've been in the moment again and again, I'm living them all.
Made the decision to kick in the bucket and click the phone call... off.
Boss, stick to being a victim... most of the time.
Post up your lines, blah blah blah.
Instagram, fine.
Bitch, you ain't mine.
Quit your damn cying.
Bitch, you a damn lie.
Bitch, you a damn lie.

Seem so composed, I know the notes I wrote in theory.
Repose...
I wish I knew more often than I take it… nearly.
Laid in between the sheets in discord of who I am and what my colors bleed
and in the end I know you'll never give me all the things I need
So far, so close, so far.
So close.
So far, so close.
So far, so close,
I know I pick the bones I could have left alone...
in theory.
No one has traveled this road even though they still stand near me.
Caught in between hope and a dream,
though it seems to most that I can see it.
Most of these days, morning rays, I've come to deathly fear them.
I'm...
There's always tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.
There's always tomorrow.

place me in between your lips and I'll become a thousand roses
lay me on your fingertips and I'll turn lace and clouds laid over
make me wanna take days off work
you know we can
make me wanna take off this skirt
you know that I'm so enamored with you baby
you could make a girl wanna stay home and just have some babies
we can slow it down if I'm moving too fast
I just wanna be
underneath you
underneath you
underneath you
underneath
can you hear it
that's the sound of me falling for you
don't you see me baby
that's the look of me crawling on my knees begging please to be
under-
yeah, yeah
underneath you
underneath you
yeah...
place me underneath your hips and I'll become a million oceans
play with me between slow licks and I'll turn face then bow me over
yeah, yeah yeah
make wanna tell all my friends
you know I can't
(Why) (Why?? (Shit)
not if them bitches ain't paying my rent
can't know my man
we can slow it down if we're moving too fast
I just wanna be
underneath you
underneath you
