Picture This 04:03
I wish I could go back to the start before we pulled everything apart Picture this: Us just how we were back then Thinking this could never end Now we just want to be friends again I could try to move on, forget the feeling but I'm caught on the line, the one you're reeling in Picture this: Us just how we were back then Thinking this could never end Now we just want to be friends again Us just how we were back then Thinking this could never end Now we just want to be friends again

Outrageous! Tryna get over the kid you used to be I barely know her It feels like just last week that I was lying to you saying everything's alright It's mid-October and I don't miss the sun I'm finally sober. I realize nostalgia's a drug I've been sick This is hard you've gotta believe me I guess that's all I want you to know Nobody said that it was gonna be easy to unlearn all I think I know But with one foot in front of the last I'll walk away from my past 'cause you deserve better and so do I You deserve better Give you a minute so can find your voice Who am I kidding? Not like I have a choice We're always complaining like we don't want the same thing This is hard you've gotta believe me I guess that's all I want you to know Nobody said that it was gonna be easy to unlearn all I think I know But with one foot in front of the last I'll walk away from my past 'cause you deserve better and so do I You deserve better It's funny how remembering all the reasons I hate you is the only remaining way I can say I like you still It hurt to call it love I'm happier without you and I always made you doubt yourself and if we ever could turn it all around until It became gentler to make push turn to shove We're to tired to fight Let's just say goodbye You deserve better

I'm supposedly low in demand You knew all the good ones would be taken Just grab hold of me, I'll be your man Just believing I'm a 10 out of 10

Grab my shoes and grab my coat I'm going dancing And I won't be coming til I find that someone In the car, I'm on the road I'm feeling fancy Not sure where I'm gonna go but I'm down to have fun Heart is full just like the moon The club is jumping I just gotta find the groove and I know what to do Grab the hottest in the room And now we're bumping He's got looks, he's got the moves but I wish he was you Feels like sinking feels like I'm swimming too I'm on the brink and I can't stop thinking of you (woooo) Ooh I came to cut rug Do my dance and fall in love Ain't got time for jitterbugs (no nervous energy) Something simply magical I feel goosebumps all in my soul On cloud 9, 10, 11 left my body gone to heaven yeah I'm so high But I fall right back down to earth The feeling's faded, can't trust the rush (ah) The jig is up (ah) Feels like I'm flying, feels like I'm dying too Maybe I'm falling, Baby I'm falling for you Feels like sinking feels like I'm swimming too I'm on the brink and I can't stop thinking of you Feels like I'm flying, feels like I'm dying too Maybe I'm falling, Baby I'm falling for you Feels like sinking feels like I'm swimming too I'm on the brink and I can't stop thinking of you Feels like I'm flying, feels like I'm dying too Maybe I'm falling, Baby I'm falling for you

I live like I'm dreaming Walking on stars and the sky gets stormy Make music I'm seeing I open my heart 'cause the rain can't hurt me I'll pretend it's champagne Find the sun on another day Make it fuel like propane See it through like clear cellophane I'm lovin this feeling I want it to last but it's temporary Next thing, I'll be reeling Things go bad so fast and it can be scary But I know it's okay And that feeling will go away Block it out like a barricade We'll turn lemons to lemonade Keep shaking heaven and earth Who can say where the wind blows (wind blows) We put the time, do the work Coming through like tornados ('nados) Through the storm, through the hurt I know that I can stay gold (stay gold) So let the thunder assert I'll stay chasing the rainbows (raindbows) Inside I'll be screaming I channel my mars, yeah this rose gets thorny Sometimes I'll be bleeding The wounds turn to scars, but they can't control me Sip the rain like champagne Find the sun on another day Make it fuel like propane See it through like clear cellophane Keep shaking heaven and earth Who can say where the wind blows (wind blows) We put the time, do the work Coming through like tornados ('nados) Through the storm, through the hurt I know that I can stay gold (stay gold) So let the thunder assert I'll stay chasing the rainbows (raindbows)

My life's a mess and it's stressing me out This awkward silence is depressingly loud Haven't posted in a minute, think I lost all my clout Dunno how we got here, might be time to reroute Thought things sucked but I didn't know the half of it Gotta pay my rent but I keep not having it Never taught me how to handle money in school but we spent a whole week learning how to sing the alphabet ABCDEF Jesus Christ I'm only eating beans and rice for the next 13 weeks it's fine just pretend that it's cheese and whine *The Great Panica Tax of 2020*

I let you down I guess you're not alone Falling out of love You seem better now I'm thinking maybe I should take out my phone and send you a text, is that allowed or maybe I'll keep searching And we'll keep searching And we'll keep searching for somebody to believe in (a-ha) somebody to believe in (a-ha) somebody to believe in (a-ha) somebody to believe in Somebody to believe How can I atone for all the sins and transgression toward you I just would like to please be left alone so I can keep on searching And we'll keep searching And we'll keep searching for somebody to believe in (a-ha) somebody to believe in (a-ha) somebody to believe in (a-ha) somebody to believe in Somebody to believe

Hey hi hello I think you're somebody I want to know You say you're sure we haven't met before But they're something familiar about your glow Is it true girls like you come a dime a dozen, 'cause I've met a few A million stars in the sky, but I just wanna bathe in your shine Hey hi hello You look just like so many girls I know But I've never seen someone so beautiful I've been out too long and you feel like home Is it true girls like you come a dime a dozen, 'cause I've met a few A million stars in the sky, but I just wanna bathe in your shine Hey how's it goin? You look like a dream I had at four in the morning Never thought I'd find you, girl My princess charming Now it fits so perfectly, a storybook ending How lovely You the type of a girl that makes the trees sway Wanna make you mine and mine always So tell me it's forever girl I will never leave you girl All I wanna do is be alone with you You're the one to my two in every lifetime Is it true girls like you come a dime a dozen, 'cause I've met a few A million stars in the sky, but I just wanna bathe in your shine Is it true girls like you come a dime a dozen, 'cause I've met a few A million stars in the sky, but I just wanna bathe in your shine

Please come home, Jerome How love have you been running in the streets on your own I'd call you if rats like us had phones I'll be waiting by the Dollar Tree Please come home, Jerome If you wear the bulls I swear those fools won't leave you alone Stick all the same blocks that you know I'm anxious by the Dollar Tree All the Kings crown vics and all the Kings swine know those rivers run blue They're not looking for you Pippen's armor at the bottom of a riverbed, two shades of red I can't watch the news tonight They say you're home, Jerome 12:07 guess now heaven smells of cologne Black cocoon glad bags for you I'm told I'm crying by the Dollar Tree

I think I've found a way out of this maze I've made Just take my hand and we'll leave now I promise we'll be okay Up and away I'm having fun Just you and me, we're on the run Who should oppose us, let them come They don't know I've already won I am alone, where'd you go? How could you leave my side? Oh I don't know, but with great power comes vexing pride Screaming at the top of my lungs I never needed anyone I have no equal, I'm the one Beat my wax wings against the sun

Hey honey you can rest now Take a deep breath and then walk Towards me through the sunlit flame, we can just talk All the whispers are gone but the silence is burning Wipe off every tear, all the wheels are turning Rise before me, the sun that's coming up to call your name It's done now, the curtain's closed and you're in okay company Standing against the wall, falling back to the rhythm Holding back in the fear, all the old times forgiving No I won't cry, but I'm alone again I made this bed that I'm laying in Those eyes won't hide how hard the path has been I need a break from who I am Deserting, hurting, I'll take my bow and leave the stage No fear, no more tears, no room for arrogance or rage I can't get back to you, Gotta get back to something Gotta find out the truth of why some cry and some sing No I won't cry, but I'm alone again I made this bed that I'm laying in Those eyes won't hide how hard the path has been I need a break from who I am

Here's hoping this can be a new beginning If only hope was everything Ears open, my walls are down, I'm finally listening But immature eyes can't see Why are you surprised that I'm tired of giving you so many chances And you say that you'll be different, now you're sure But I've heard the same old story all before Here's hoping this can be a new beginning If only hope was everything Why are you surprised that I'm tired of giving you so many chances And you say that you'll be different, now you're sure But I've heard the same old story all before Oh I've seen it Oh I've seen it all before Yeah I've been there and I've done this back and forth Oh I'm over this dance we do Back and forth like deja vu It's time for me to end this game Even though I know I like to play it too

Leading a life of quiet desperation Repeating your lines in silent dedication Try not to lose your head Kissing a face that you no longer need goodbye Missing a place you can no longer see, you wonder why If words mean nothing then you're already dead So try not to lose your head Try not to lose your head Out of options and filled with dread They can't hear what's left unsaid If words mean nothing then you're already dead So try not to lose Try not to lose your head Try not to lose Try not to lose Try not to lose (to lose)

When my final light has faded Might as well try to see what I can find Pick myself up off the pavement It's alright, I'm sure it will be fine Even if I have to fake it All my life, I'll do it this one time Just when we thought we'd made it We're surprised, there's still further to climb When my final light has faded Might as well try to see what I can find Pick myself up off the pavement It's alright, I'm sure it will be fine You'll stare at the moon and hate it every night To shimmer is a lie I still hear the voices saying in my mind "To gleam is not to shine" To gleam is not to shine To gleam is not to shine
