It falls into place, the time and the space I cannot erase all it has done, but I can say I walked away with something That's what it's all about That's what it comes down to I didn't mean to doubt you Fuck the bad intentions, you loved me with a vengeance We get whatever's coming We get what we deserve For whatever it's worth, you never put me Wait, let me back up I couldn't love you first, I know My ego is the worst, I know I wasn't tryna hurt you though I wasn't tryna Mm If, anything it let me know Just what it is I'm looking for in another down the road You showed me exactly how I should be loved (I should be loved) Hindsight is 20/20 My mind gets to running running Back to the things you said White lies and red flags, red flags I never saw it coming You can't really dodge a bullet If it ricochets But I'll stay out of your way, out of your way I couldn't love you first, I know My ego is the worst, I know I wasn't tryna hurt you though Mm If anything, it let me know Just what it is I'm looking for in another down the road You showed me exactly how I should be loved (I should be loved) La la la, la la la, la la la, la la Listen Everything is everything (Like a) raindrop in the ocean (Just a) small piece of the whole thing (Ain't no) fairplay in this love game Cause everything is everything (Like a) a raindrop in the ocean (Just a) small piece of the whole thing (Ain't no) fairplay in this love game Cause everything is everything (Like a) a raindrop in the ocean (Just a) small piece of the whole thing (Ain't no) fairplay in this love game Cause everything is everything (Like a) a raindrop in the ocean (Just a) small piece of the whole thing (Ain't no) fairplay in this That's all that I can say

I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Tension Shit just got me too high strung and anxious I was thinking maybe you could fix it Ain't gotta be nothing complicated, just be Willing Willing Willing Insanity's looking me right in my face Losing all manner of patience I don't have a moment to waste Put you hands on my waist Cause you know how it is when the world sits on your shoulders Wishing somebody'd just hold you I don't have no more focus I don't have no more I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Listen You know I don't ask for much but this here Ain't up for discussion, no Just kiss me Baby shut me up and lay me down That's what I'm Missing Missing Missing Insanity's looking me right in my face Losing all manner of patience I don't have a moment to waste Put you hands on my waist Cause you know how it is when the world sits on your shoulders Wishing somebody'd just hold you I don't have no more focus I don't have no more I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Insatiable But you're more than capable Baby, you know what I want Just a little pick me up All you got to do is Touch me Feel me Save me Heal me Insanity's looking me right in my face Losing all manner of patience I don't have a moment to waste Put you hands on my waist Cause you know how it is when the world sits on your shoulders Wishing somebody'd just hold you I don't have no more focus I don't have no more I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel Don't make me think, don't make me wait I just need something to feel

Talk To Me 03:14
When you find out who you are, come and talk to me If you should find that you can't change Baby, I don't really wanna stay Find out what you want, or don't talk to me If you should find that you can't change Baby, I don't really wanna stay You know I've been patient boy Waiting for the day you come around Had my back against the wall Eggshells on the floor I walk Can we just be real for one minute Cause I feel like it's something that I'm missing Like I'm on a crazy train while you save face And give me the runaround And I think you should know by now When you find out who you are, come and talk to me If you should find that you can't change Baby, I don't really wanna stay Find out what you want, or don't talk to me If you should find that you can't change Baby, I don't really wanna stay What are you afraid of, what you got to hide Must be something on your mind That keeps you at a distance and That keeps me up all night, so just be real Cause baby, I'm about to reach my limit Running out of words to say and things to do And reasons to stay around I thought you would know by now When you find out who you are, come and talk to me If you should find that you can't change Baby, I don't really wanna stay Find out what you want, or don't talk to me If you should find that you can't change Baby, I don't really wanna stay

Yellow Grass 03:10
Your image is distorted in my mind And if you were to call, I would decline My guess is that you moved on Well baby, so did I No, I ain't waste no time And you can talk about me, I don't mind That shit comes back to haunt you down the line Ain't nothing to pretend it never happened Don't want no second chances Don't need no type of closure cause it's over when it's over I just hope you know that when you look out your window You gon' see some yellow grass And you thought it would be greener, but it don't compare to what you had Hmm Your homies ask about me every day Like how the hell you let that get away Just tell 'em that I moved on and it wasn't the same But you're the one to blame for it I wonder if you even understand Just how it makes you that much less a man The way you like to take it all for granted Then ask for second chances Thought I already told you that it's over when it's over I just hope you know that when you look out your window You gon' see that yellow grass, yeah And you thought it would be greener, but it don't compare to what you had Before with me You might need some therapy You might wanna take a page from me, page from me Leave the past where it's supposed to be Cause I already spoke my peace So let this be another lesson learned Or a blessing, shit, far as I'm concerned And it's gon' hurt your pride for a moment To look inside yourself and own it But damn, at least you know the pain is over when it's over That's just how it goes when you look outside your window And all you see is yellow grass

.venus 03:20
It's just you and me from here to Venus Give me all the stars tonight, the universe is ours Nothing in this world that comes between us Even if it burns tonight, then we're already gone You are my reflection, inverted perspective Closest thing to heaven that I may never get Blind infatuation with no destination We fade into blackness and do it all again And it feels so strange, a constant retrograde Every time you tell me close my eyes, end up back in outerspace It's just you and me from here to Venus Give me all the stars tonight, the universe is ours Nothing in this world that comes between us Even if it burns tonight, then we're already gone Ascension Every single moon Every other planet Tell me I can have it (baby) We don't come alive 'til the nighttime It's alright when them lights go out I'm zoned in, I'm on it, I'm focused on you Cause whatever you want, whatever you want, I want it too Just come through It's only you and me from here to Venus
