Making plans and controlling my space Letting go disregarding my pace That’s how it goes when you wanna walk away I know you know but that be all I gotta say Making love in the distance so close Hiding lies in the sheets where we belong You probably thinking this is all going wrong I promise you this all I wanna know It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on Take a glance in the mirror you and me Getting right this where I wanna be You can see me like a fucking tv screen Sunday Monday in and out it’s all a dream Put the love inside your heart inside of me If you think I’m getting close, you won’t believe You can drown inside my heart like I’m the sea Cut me up in little parts like all of me It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on It goes on (on and on and on) It goes on (on and on and on) It goes on (on and on and on) It goes on (on) I’m scared now maybe I’m scared Nowhere my baby Oh yeah (On and on and on) I’m scared now maybe I’m scared (On and on and on) Nowhere my baby Oh yeah

I want to be in paradise Closer to the sun I tend to breathe better when I’m closer to the sea on the shores I love birds…pretty birds…oh beautiful birds I…I tend to view myself as… I like to think that I’m... I like to think that I’m… Some sort of sea… sea... prince-creature-cess I tend to… I just want to be happy Take a trip you & me Fly for miles overseas Exotic birds in the trees Fuck it up sex on the beach All the feels, fantasies I can be all that you need We can live in the breeze I can take you with me People watching on the streets Sit with us the company We can’t stop, I’m in too deep Almost there hold on to me Jump for joy, pause for peace Levitate anxiety All the thrills you wanna see Come escape with me Downs the hills and in the sea On the shores and in the sheets I know you want to wait and see We can fly, all is free When it’s over, just repeat This where you wanna be We can do it, just believe A paradise you can achieve Achieve Achieve Achieve Achieve

Ooo baby I already know what this is You think you’re hot shit and that i’m not shit But really you just toxic but it’s okay Cause i’m the same way We’re both too old for the games we play Two grown ass kids but it is what it is You were overbearing But disguised it as caring I was deeply invested But too nonchalant Thought i found heaven Instead a potent facade Great sex a red herring For those red flags Shoulda cut my losses Left you in the past But there’s something bout you And yo crazy ass And there must be something about me too cause I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know you had a fear that this thing wouldn’t last Probably cause of all the trauma you were dealt in the past So when you felt it slipping You would tighten your grasp In hopes you could preserve everything that we had But that lack of space Made me want to escape But still I can’t say your fears were that misplaced Cause I know at times I made your head spin And I wasn’t always a blessing Shit at times, even a curse And what’s worse I projected everything on you Those emotions i had bottled up deep inside So those tears that you cried Really shoulda been mine And time after time We’d try and try To find another way we could make this work To find another way to erase that hurt But not matter what we do Things just crash and burn We go back and forth, back and forth On and on, on and on We’re so on and off, on and off To the point we don’t know what we’re doing now 404 error No solutions found And we know better than to try another go around And yet still And yet still I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go And you see baby I hate to carry on for the sake of carrying on But at the same time I love to carry on for the sake of carrying Cause I just can’t get enough Of that rush Ooo it’s just so Invigorating It’s just so Titillating It’s unfortunate cause Ain’t no winners in this game we play Still we play anyway I guess that’s just how it is When the way you live Is so Toxic And that’s why I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go I know You know We can’t let this shit go
