Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I'm starin' at a butterfly

In the sky, and the stars

Waiting for the sun to rise

You should lie in my arms

I'm a sucker for the summer nights, girl

Gettin' high on a farm

Let's live it up 'cause I don't wanna die

[Verse 2]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hmm

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hmm

[Verse 3]

Soft skin, like moonstones, whoa, whoa

Tequila got me too close now, whoa, ooh

Sunrise, sunrise, sunrise

I'ma tell a story, I could summarize

In my head, I said I **** you like a hundred times

Let the bus take you home, **** a Uber ride

Girl, I'm too excited, what it do tonight?

I would stay with you right now

I got this stupid flight

Girl, I wanna see, do you wanna get me

Or do we have a thing?

I call, it don't ring, I got too many rings

[Verse 4]

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, hmm

[Verse 5]

I don't know if you want me, girl, there's a lot of us

You been doin' things, yeah, we proud of you

I been puttin' in that work, like that body does

They get on the bus, you better ride with us

You better ride with us (You better ride)

Oh, ah, hold me tight

All those nights I cried, I don't know why

[Verse 6]

All issues disappear as soon as I can cough

In those soft tissues, my tears fell and froze

Now my collarbone's all crystals

A small gesture goes a long way in this dark prism

Your stare's a silent pistol

The boy was your only victim

Like, you're so freakin' far out of my league, I been really trippin'

I forgot how we was livin', my **** just got evicted

I picked a golden pencil out my pocket, and gettin' busy

They told me it's all written

I been on tour, rollin' **** on the bus

And I'm sittin', really just reminiscin'

Like, one day, she'll get the vision

When I build her the house with all the glass and the marble kitchen

Till then we retrofittin' the Honda Civic

And whippin' the X through the city

Eatin' pasta at the commons like it's my business

Promise I'm God's witness

And you a goddess, birthday's comin' up

My **** said don't get you nothin' too expensive

They say it's too expected

If it was up to me, I'd put the rose petals down for you, girl

At your every entrance

Flex is too extensive

Sometimes it get offensive

So in reality, I'm in the cut of the club with my jaw clenched

In tinted lenses

Even more expected, fuck

She said, "I love our friendship"

My heart dropped when I saw you sent it

And if you ever got a sign from my eyes, girl, just know I meant it

I just wish that night never ended

[Verse 7]

'Cause, girl, if it's up to me, it's up to me, you're mine

But I just think you and me might really need some time

'Cause we can't base our whole damn life off just one night

If you say that we're just friends, I say you're right

(The water flooded the ocean)

Oh, oh

(Let's run while we have more time tonight)

(You don't worry about me, I know I'll see you soon)

[Verse 8]

Down by home, I've seen this road before

I don't know if your soul can pay the toll

Down by home, I've seen this road before

I don't know if your soul can pay the toll

Down by home, I've seen this road before

(We only met one night, but in our future I saw a thousand lives)

I don't know if your soul can pay the toll

(Fingertips fell down your back till I found your spine, am I still alive?)

(Vilified by my sinful eyes, when I leave your side I begin to cry)

(I'm traumatized)

(Long strolls behind Abbey Road, wind so cold that the autumn died)

Down by home, I've seen this road before

(It's all in the eyes, it's probably how I find the way that you standing)

(Through space and time, a contortion of ions, the way that I see it)

(The bed that you sleep in, for me, for me there is no portion to lie in)

I don't know if your soul can pay the toll

(Absorbed in the nightfall, let bygones be bygones, so I crawl home)

(With no shoulder to cry on, no crushin ****, no house to send flowers)

(So I cried a floral river into the valley, where the sun set for hours)

There so much we both know

(And on the banks of these rivers, these poems were written for miles)

(About the boy who chased the sunset in his unsettlin' trials)

That I'm meant to be alone
