Lyrics:

I don't wanna think about how you've been out here in these streets
And I don't wanna think about how you do what you do for me to these n*ggas
They say outta sight, outta mind
But that don't work for me
Cuz shawty, I need you
Shawty, I need you
Shawty, I- (hey)

I'm stuck in the rain, this shit is insane
I'm really just through with it
And all of this pain takes over my brain
Don't know what to do with it
Don't know what to say, guess it comes with age
I'm really just losin' it 
I just need a break
I don't know how much I can take from you

But I don't wanna leave
I don't want just anything from you, I need everything
All your attention and all your time
Cuz it's what's getting me through life
This codependency provides...

Me safety
And lately, I've been feeling crazy
And I know it don't make sense
But I got all these secrets I keep inside
Because if I told you, then you'd have to die

Hey
Ooh, ooh, ohh

And I know it don't make sense
But I got all this damage I try to hide
Because I don't want you to see through my pride

I'm stuck in the rain, this shit is insane
I'm really just through with it
And all of this pain takes over my brain
Don't know what to do with it
Don't know what to say, guess it comes with age
I'm really just losin' it 
I just need a break
I don't know how much I can take from you

But I don't wanna leave
I don't want just anything from you, I need everything
All your attention and all your time
Cuz it's what's getting me through life
This codependency provides...

Me shame!
And lately, I just feel insane
And I know it don't make sense
But for some reason, I feel like I would die
If I didn't have you right here by my side

ELASTIC

lyrics~
How long?
How long?
I've been waiting here for sometime

How strong
are these emotions that entrap my brain?

I don't want to live like this forever
Oh, it feels like bliss when we're together
And darling you're my only treasure
You know there's nothing that could measure up

Can you smell the roses?
And can you see my tears?
I know I ain't holding on to nothing
Because it all won't disappear

And I've only touched the surface (I'm still in love with you)
Cos these words are only few
But I'd save all my love for you

My love ain't plastic
it's elastic
it's turned into a
force of habit
it feels like magic
the way you have me
sticking to you
like I'm a magnet
I never thought
that I could be
so wrapped around you like a ring
cos there's nowhere I'd rather be
than with you

How long?
How long?
I've been waiting here for sometime (I've been waiting on the sunshine)
How strong?
How strong?
are these feelings that I can't dispose of (oh no!)

Can you still see the colors?
or have they washed away?
are they fading out like yesterday?
Just know I'm not afraid
Cos they don't know me, baby
I don't care what they say
I just want you to stay

I don't want to wait
I just want to say I love you everyday (everytime I close my eyes, I see your face)
all I want to do is hold you when you're not okay
Well is it too much to trust all the things I say? (I've been searching all of my life, for you I'd jump in the fire)
(Oh how I miss those green eyes)

My love ain't plastic
It's elastic
It's turned into a
force of habit
It feels like magic
the way you have me
sticking to you
like I'm a magnet
I never thought
that I could be
so wrapped around you like a ring
cos there's nowhere I'd rather be
than with you

My love ain't plastic
It's elastic
It's turned into a
force of habit
It feels like magic
The way you have me
Sticking to you
Like I'm a magnet
I'd rather sing
bout wedding rings
and forget about everything
but you and me
but you and me (but you and me, me and you, and you and me)
but you and me, yeah)

stay with it
you don’t need to water it down
no one else has the same story

stay with it please
stay with it please
you can take all the time that you need

I know that you worry
what if nobody cares?
and you're sorry
you had a big enough head to

stay with it
stay with it please
stay with it
stay with it

something is broken
so fucked it’s not hard to feel hopeless
I see you sleeping while the sun’s out
anything to distract you from your doubts

bro

I’m not here to tell you to get up
I know you have had it rough
I don’t know anybody more tough

I’m here to remind you
of the image you drew of yourself when you believed nobody could stop you
he’s still there
But you choose to look away
I think you’re scared of your own greatness
can’t you see it?
can’t you see it?

I know that you worry
what if nobody cares?
and you're sorry
you had a big enough head to

stay with it
stay with it please
stay with it
stay with it

I know the pain of running a race in the wrong direction
I know the pain of a long and slow bitter break
I know how it feels to have nobody when you can’t stand up for yourself
I know how it feels to push your problems into a box 
and place it on a shelf
it’s time to realize that you have exactly what you need
its deep down inside behind the lies you tell yourself to get by
I’m only here to remind you
of who you actually are

Stay With It
