Backing Up

If you leave a message at the tone,
I'll try and hit you back on my way home. Drive, through the wilderness, I'm all alone, I've got to figure this out on my own.
Refrain: It's not the same
Every day I think of calling you,
still haven't hit you back, been meaning to.
Fighting the changes I've been going through,
Work has been hard on me, you know it's true Refrain
I'm backing up (repeats)

I don't know what this is, but I've got to find a way to, gotta find a way to let you know, Maybe I shoulda wrote this, shoulda wrote this years ago, but, it wouldn't mean as much for someone else
(repeats)
When I wake up next to you I get a feeling (repeats underneath)––as I lay next to you, could this be a dream of mine? I'm hoping it comes true, if I wake up in time.
I think this might be somethin', a little bigger than a somethin', I'm taking everything or nothin at all.
Things come, things go away, and certain things are worth the stay, and seasons change but let's stand still in time.
When I wake up next to you I get a feeling (repeats underneath)––as I lay next to you, could this be a dream of mine? I'm hoping it comes true, if I wake up in time.

The Waters

One more drink, one more hour, one more night, one more A.M.
You can bring the vibe, I can bring the weed, we can bring the heat, I'm not playin'.
Days pass, don't call you; Make plans, they fall through.
I don't know how deep we are, but I wanna test the waters,
so let's go inside, at the end of the ride,
this ship will sink if you make this any harder.
Pull aside, hit the coast, take a dive, hit the smoke, take it farther...
Take a ride, through the trees, shoot the breeze, all I'm sayin', is that I don't even know, I don't even know, where I'm stayin'.
Days pass, don't call you; Make plans, they fall through.
I don't know how deep we are, but I wanna test the waters,
so let's go inside, at the end of the ride,
this ship will sink if you make this any harder.
Pull aside, hit the coast, take a dive, hit the smoke, take it farther...
This is bigger than our bodies, and I got to tell you (repeats)

You don’t wanna be alone
How you talk to me, your tone
This felt like forever on sight
And we might take forever, all night because I can feel it comin’
You know I can feel it comin’
Glad I got to clear the air,
Somethin’ so sincere in your stare
Let me run my hands through your hair
To keep it from me would be unfair because I can feel it comin’
You know I can feel it comin’
I can feel it comin’
You know I can feel it comin’, won’t you
Won’t you help me to clear my mind
‘Cuz I can’t stop thinkin’ we should spend some time No more hesitation, no more meant-to-be’s Somethin’ bout your essence brings me to my knees Yeah, whoa.
I’m not tryna hit it, I’m just tryna stay committed to me bein’ all up in it, baby,
Dinner’s almost finished, but the movie we can skip it, you just let me know you’re wit it, baby
I’m not tryna hit it, I’m just tryna stay committed to me bein’ all up in it, baby,
Dinner’s almost finished, but the movie we can skip it, you just let me know you’re wit it, baby
Won’t you help me to clear my mind
‘Cuz I can’t stop thinkin’ we should spend some time No more hesitation, no more meant-to-be’s Somethin’ bout your essence brings me to my knees Yeah, whoa.

Steady

Let me hold your hand, I'll keep it steady.
Let me pick you up, I know you're ready.
If you wish to learn, I'll teach you, teach you right,
help you round the curves, girl you know that my handle's tight, and my secret: keep it
Steady, Keep it
Steady, you gotta keep it Steady, you gotta keep it Steady, just keep it Steady
Your friends brought you out, now it's just you and me. Green, red, blue, these lights on you, my centerpiece. Somethin' in your smile, it's all so new to me.
Paint this picture in my mind, my masterpiece.
Steady, Keep it
Steady, you gotta keep it Steady, you gotta keep it Steady, just keep it Steady

If Only

I act like, well, I act like I don't know you, but my source of love and pain remains the same, and my homies helped me out, but my homies, they forget you,
I don't ask because I know, they'd say the same.
I don't know how to make this go away
A new song brings thoughts of yesterday
If only you knew all the ways
I think of you, and whether you'd have stayed.
I've long been slippin', lying to myself, saving my money for things I do not need; And I see your ways in the girls I've come to know,
you should be in my past, you're in my dreams.
I don't know how to make this go away
A new song brings thoughts of yesterday
If only you knew all the ways
I think of you, and whether you'd have stayed.
