[Verse]
Oh, yeah
I wish I had a time machine
Overthinking 'cause this feelings all over
Now it's really just my mind and me
Looking forward, but I feel it all over
Know that this one only I can see 
Never drinking so I feel it all sober
Wish it was a game of hide and seek 'cause I
Only
Hit it  
'Cause you
Asked me
Can't say I was up against my will
'Cause my words, they were taking the backseat
Can't saying I was loving what I feel 
Falling short of the physical attraction
Can't say I'm a pro at this I still
Lover boy but I hate it with a passion

[Bridge]
You should know what I'm on
I hope you know that this one was the last time

[Verse: Isaiah Kaleo]
What if this don’t work?
What if I done, took all of this, time and did my, dirt-
Just to come back home— all to nothing
Baby I’ve been road too much for “nothing” (nothing)
…
New York and L.A.
Got a girl in, Dallas wish she, stayed here in the A
Might be the first time I felt something
But I kind of hate she’s making these assumptions
..
Saying I got other women in my phone
She ain’t wrong though-
Just to hold me down here on this long road
..
But know girl when I get down
Just trust that I’ll be around
For you, baby

[Hook: Isaiah Kaleo]
And shawty you’re forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— aw
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— aw
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever, mine
Forever, mine

Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever, mine
Forever, mine

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse: Jahdai]
I know you're looking for some peace if only
If it wasn't so loud where you always be you Know the city never goes to sleep
But I know you cry— cry every night but girl if only
Is it cause of love that you're always scared 
you know them dogs never playing fair
…
Shawty from the A, she say I'm driving her insane 
Didn't buy into the love, I had to charge to the game now
Guess who’s to blame now.
…
Shawty from New York I see her crying through the frames 
But she was always down so got the paw print on the chain now
I watch it hang now

[Hook: Isaiah Kaleo & Jahdai]
And shawty you’re forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— aw
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— aw
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever, mine
Forever, mine

Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever, mine
Forever, mine

[Verse: Jeaneo]
Ah
What if I don’t give you what you need?
I fear I’m not the man that you’ve been seeking baby
Probably the your reason why, you can't stay with me
Don’t stay with me, babe

Baby it’s okay
Baby please don’t wait

‘Cause I’m going through this phase-
And you’ll only end up hurting baby
Baby please don’t wait

Be-fore me
I’m living now
I’m healing now
But I’m still so far away
I want you
Girl I need you now
But there’s not other way
No other way, oh

[Hook: Jeaneo & Pino]
And shawty you’re forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— aw
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— aw
Forever mine, ever mine, ever mine— oh
Forever, mine

she, just likes set it off
my patience running thin
and this happens every time you see
my eyes lie to defense

if she, don’t do the same

if she, don’t, do, the same

I heard you were back in town tonight
Wonder if you’re around for me, yeah
Oh, yeah

I’ve been ducked off here, so safe and sound
Haven’t seen your ass in months

Oh, woah

I know that this is not what you wanted
I hate that you’re here for ‘the moment’
Baby I would just wish you would focus
On me
Woah, woah
Baby don’t you look out the window
Tears fall— sound like thunder crescendo
Tell me do you know what you’re in for 
These days

I can’t lie I like your smart mouth
When you’re talking back to me baby
Woah, oh
Feel my world raining— crashing down
When you’re looking at me
Ooh, he-hee

Before you leave, come get a piece of me, baby
Baby it could be so simple

You, paranoid, insane
Yes and no, for the night, shake some
Fuck and fightin’, all in your, mansion
I hate, the niggas in your, mentions
You the one, favorite from, the west end
I fell in love, havin’ my fun, and then some
Oh, but you don’t wanna,

In and out of love, you paranoid
Girl your heart of stone, I’m falling in
So in and out of love, I filled your void
But I had a change of heart so who’s the blame then?

Uh

All the dreams you selling me ‘cause I can’t tell
I can’t talk

No no no, I cannot catch up to you
Picking those fights baby what can we do?
In, out your city girl what is the move?
All that you did but I’m still stuck on you 

No no no, I cannot catch up on you
Picking those fights baby what can we do?

You said you needed one more stay, I’m on the way to you
You said you needed one more day, I’m on the way to you
Your eyes told your truth to me baby, what you say?
Baby let’s not waste time, we at least can try

My homie told what it was
Knew I had yo’ ass in love
Out of all the hoes, you stayed with me mami

Heard your main nigga was a dub
Seen your friends had gassed you up
Just tryna see this through, don’t take this from me
Girl I had high hopes
I know that this toxic
But one night won’t hurt I swear
Can’t hide what i’m thinking 
Or how I’m feeling inside

You said you needed one more stay, I’m on the way to you

PART I

Take your time with me ain’t no rush
But you ‘can’t waste your day on discussions’
I hate arguing over nothing
Drives me insane, babe are we ever okay
I can’t think of a moment
All our progress is in slow motion
I’m falling out of love no bullshit
(And I’m running out of time to show you)

Take that trip with me, baby you’ll see
The damage’s already done
How’s not make believe when you fall on me
I can not be your only one
My baby, I seen the heart in you
And that’s where I found this feeling oh
Yeah
Is your man down hun?
One day left for you to run my mind
When it’s all said baby, is it my fault
Ain’t no way that you control my heart

Take your time with me ain’t no rush
But you ‘can’t waste your day on discussions’
I hate arguing over nothing
Drives me insane, babe are we ever okay
I can’t think of a moment
All our progress is in slow motion
I’m falling out of love no bullshit
(And i’m running out of time to show you)

PART II

I can’t be on your line, mourning your loving
You wasted all my time babe under covers
No shame when you outside
Those niggas all on your body

You said take me a trip 
Make me your bae
‘I’ve seen too much boy, take me away’
Girl I didn’t know you were feeling the same
Ain’t no pressure
But the way that you’re moving is in question
I, can’t, block, the, noise
How’d you figure I’d side with being your side man

With you, it’s just a losing game
Wonder why you feel a way
I don’t want to spread too thin
I don’t wanna feel like I’m trying too hard 
Just to keep you here with me

If I told you what I’m thinking, I know you’d abandon me
Eyes and lies, your tears aside could not spell the word ‘naive’
Silence is a weapon, would say the truth but I want my peace
You’re so hooked up on those little things

So whenever you’re here, oh
My ego feel like it’s gaining some weight
Why you think you’re loving me oh babe, oh 
Zero to a hundred girl? I guess 

Gotta wash my hands
I’m tired of hurting now
Was your man, but you couldn’t hold me down no way
Part of your plan was to crash out
Seen you went left when we changed routes
Girl you showing your ass

You know, I would’ve done it all for you
My ghost, no matter where I go
Stuck around ‘til it went too far
Hopefully, you can find your mind

So whenever you’re here, oh
My ego feel like it’s gaining some weight
Why you think you’re loving me oh babe, oh 
Zero to a hundred girl? I guess 

Oh girl what happened to our thing being my happy place?
My peace from here right now feels so far away
Far away
So far away, from here
So I think I’ll do this on my own bae, baby
You’ve been far away for so long bae, baby
Girl I just think I’ll do this my own way
My own way
My own, yeah


So whenever you’re here, oh
My ego feel like it’s gaining some weight
Why you think you’re loving me oh babe, oh 
Zero to a hundred girl? I guess 

So whenever you’re here, oh

If you’re not happy girl, then leave

‘Cause is it all a dream?
See through the lies that you send to my heart
But I still trip in it, falling again, oh woah
Read, the lines between
I can only blame me
Me

Let me bleed again
Oh, if I feel nothing else
Could you help me see?
Release again
Or am I waiting for a drought?

Girl, no way, no-woah
I can not escape, the light
Don’t know what to say tonight
Baby just come over and let’s spend, the night
Picking up the pieces that are left in sight
No second guessing girl I know you like some pressure
No other nigga that you know could do you better
Mhm
After all I sold out for
To only get piece of you, uh
It almost broke my core
Yeah
Andale, take it from me babe
I can’t relate, with urgency delayed
No, woah
