They say I should take a few steps backwards But I don't think that I need to I don't think that I need to I don't care about the doubts And you got me so impassioned And you took all the reasons You took all the reasons I'm in love You know sometimes when you're in love but you're really not But I wish that was true I'm falling deep in a lie ooh I'm crawling, pleading They say, "bro, when you'll find it you will know." "Just be yourself and you will always float." But I miss the warmth outside Wish I could call it back I'm feeling lost inside It feels so complicated all the time I doubt but in the end I'll always try But I feel like I'm just good at lying Been lying to myself for all this time But you are not the reason that I hide If feels so effervescent when you smile Can you free me cause feels like a crime All those times I didn't wanna give replies Didn't know what to say I had no rhyme Give back me all the things I left behind Without a doubt without a doubt Without a doubt without a doubt Without a doubt without a doubt Without a doubt without a doubt I don't care a leap of faith I don't care a leap of faith I don't care a leap of faith I don't care a leap of faith Maybe someday we can look back at this Laugh at how the answer was right in front of us Maybe we didn't have to regret anything at all All these memories, the past It was so simple I just wish we took the chance when we had it

Yeah I wanna you to let you in, I wanna let go of this sin, Left a mark on my brain I’m on my knees, now I’m praying. Jumbled in what i'm saying Yeah you’re running in veins. Ketamine when you let em in Wish I was there I want you on my skin If I could paint my eyes with green And fill these cracks with flawless genes, girl Will that be good for you to see me worthy But I think it isn’t more than just Kaleidoscopic visions of love That I seem to be confusing with infatuation. Yeah I wanna you to let you in, I wanna let go of this sin, Left a mark on my brain I’m on my knees, now I’m praying. Jumbled in what i'm saying Yeah you’re running in veins. Ketamine when you let em in Wish I was there I want you on my skin If I had what it takes to be the reason your heart races Trust me I will trade Whatever l have to get a taste. I’ve been wishing Wishing to be someone better Someone you could hold and say “I think we’re meant to be babe” I’ve been wishing It is getting so much harder. I think I’m ready to be Whatever you’re needing. We keep trying to be some other version, some other idea of who we should be. But it’s nice when we’re not who we are and someone looks our way and smiles. Why is it that the last person we look for is who we are. Who we wanna be. Isn’t that someone worth loving too?

Confused and I'm waiting My time could be hating Hating on how my dream's being sacrificed Feels like I've been failing My timeline and my hopes Crying away to reconcile Dreaming to let go Your silence is breaking me apart I wish I could take more of my time Sing myself lullabies Cold without your smile My time says, "hide in the music" but the void's still here, I'm only human And maybe things will be fine "The wrong" I just can't define My life could use a little tuning But I'll hang in here may have some bruises Cause I've been waiting for the sunrise Been waiting for someone to change my mind Cause, I've been waiting for the sunrise Cause things could be better in the summertime Cause I've been waiting for the sunrise Been waiting for someone to change my mind. Ooh Cause things could be better in the summertime Cause my hands were tied babe Can't you see that I'm falling for you I think that you do I think I'm losing me some patience I've been alone maybe too long And this poison doesn't help I miss your warmth, you're so alluring Got me up in my feelings Feelings I keep chasing Why is it that we put so much time into over-analysing Overthinking that one thought Daydreaming about that one person Why can't we just stop thinking and just... start doing Work for that dream to be a reality Tell that person how we feel But we don't Not until it's too late

Hands upon my knees, And I’m begging you to please set me free. Cause, whatever we had is now debris, And what you wanted is ain’t what I need now. I can write it on sheets That the world is not on side with me, And now I think, “what I know?” Cause I should but I cannot let you go. I’m in this condition how? All I’m tryna do is have endless elations now, But I might need some healing ow. (oh yeah babe) I don’t wanna plead, Maybe I’m just living in a dream I should go. You’re Smiling and you’re glowing, I’m losing all my focus. Baby don’t you notice, All I wanna know is, What is it like to be loved? I personally think that you are only able to love someone if you have spent a lot of time with them. People can hide what they’re really like for quite a while. I believe the difference between love and infatuation is time. I’m counting my positions Rethinking my decisions, Calling out to my gods, I’m looking for self sufficience. I’m standing here all by myself Doing my best, yeah I’m talking less. Not tryna say something to offend… you, baby. Hands upon my knees, And I’m begging you to please set me free, But when I think about it I don’t wanna leave Cuz when I’m with you babe, I feel more complete. Oh, Don’t you question me please, Cuz these questions feel a little too bleak. I may not be a friend, I too have some needs But it doesn’t mean I’m fake or I’m clean. I’ve been holding on, to know one thing What is it like to be loved?
