[Verse 1]
When we first met you were just a silhouette
You would be at the party I was just a little kid
Watched you from a distance
You found me like water seeks the path of least resistance
I wasn't ready to make you acquaintance
I kept staying in the background
Man I swear one of these days I won't back down
And man-o-man I hope to build the courage up
Wouldn't let me walk away from ya
I'm dazed and lackadaisical commence the countdown
Thought about how I would approach ya
Wrote some poems for ya, look another song without a chorus
It took some time for me to get it right
And truly understand what you wanted out of me in fact
I was your plan all along. I guess i wish I knew it then
But then again I wouldn't really love you like I do if I didn't know you like I do d***
d*** it's been so long and I love you more now than I did back then
So if I ever walk away from you or take a break from you its cause I had to
You'll always be my best friend
So if I ever walk away from you or take a break from you its cause I had to
You'll always be my best friend
[Hook] (x2)
I want you out of my life Want you out of my face
Want out of my pockets
Want you out of my s***e
Want you out of my home
Want you out of my hair
Want you out of my head
But it's out of my hands
[Verse 2]
I just can't explain what it does to me
About that feeling that takes over when I grab the mic and start spilling my soul
And finally letting go of everything that makes me feel like I'm gonna explode
Like I have a purpose, serving those words urgent, living the circus
Turning my wheels until I short circuit, but it feels good to be service
Still working, carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders feel my burden
I love the way it's hurting, nothing ever came easy that was worth it
Started off a river rat, ended up a word smith
Seems like they always follow the worst person but why do I deserve it
I've gotta write my own journey, give it all I got
Whether or not I go early just gotta walk
Forward to the future like I'm a micro naught
And never look back like look what I forgot
[Hook] (x4)
[Outro] (x7)
