-Lyrics-

-Intro-

Chorus: If I could just remember the words I said
I would be alright
If I could just remember the words I said tonight
Then my intentions never would be misread
We wouldn’t have to fight
If I could just remember the words, my love…

Verse 1: But abstract eruptions 
of emotions manifest and congest
my inner vision when I try to recollect.
And my breath is getting heavy, 
I bereave the hidden phrases that just
can’t seem to make their way into the forefront
of my blunt mind. I’m running out of time.
I’ve gotta find my way back
to a linguistic type of tongue that’s in tact.
And in fact, if I’m not on track, 
My rhythmic dialect will disturb
our overture of love and words…

(Chorus)

Bridge: But they always leave me. Why?
Say that you believe me!

Verse 2: It’s like every single time I begin, it’s the end.
No more sentencing. I’m slowly losing touch with what’s within.
My meaning is slipping, I mean there’s no definition,
I’m falling into submission, I black out and fade in.
Now I’m closer to knowing the words I was going for 
then out of nowhere I’m stumbling and muttering
nonsense. Can’t seem to clear my subconscious 
mind, I sound obnoxious, the worst part about it is
you and I falling apart in the dark pit that stirs
all of my forgotten words…

(Chorus)

(Bridge)

-Outro-

Lyrics:

Distant Lover [4x]

Thank God our separation never grew
I would drive for hours, if you’re lonely, I’ll be there for you 
Wanna be that man who’s deferring all your stresses
Be part of your plan for your future I’m investing in

Love, love, love is what I got for you
Soft subtle sweetness with ya baaad chick attitude
Perfect personality, free mind, a unique find
Healing hazel eyes skin sparkles when the sun shines

I’m head noddin’ to the beat of your heart 
Sorta seems like an art, I can feel.
Sugaa with a sweet style, keep it super real
When I look into those eyes, I be steady catching feels 

So I,
Hit you on the celly to tell you im coming up
Cause I just wanna chill hoping you gon’ make it fun
Layin’ next to you I run my fingers through your hair
Then I’ll kiss you on the temple and tell you I freaking care
See I’ve been through this before and I’ve made a couple mistakes
But you are something special so I’m riding the brake girl 

Yooo, I don’t think I’ve felt this nice
Damn it took a minute but this love feels right
Alexis.

Distant Lover [4x]
