Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Daddy went to law school and could've been an architect

Now he's turning sixty and wonders where the big dream went

Tucker never said a lot, two eyes down, a little luck

Took it to the Ivys and never really knew for what

[PreChorus]

And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day

Half swear to God I might just pray

And I got a lot to lose, so I might as well lose it anyway

And I, I manifested you would leave

So the day you did, I had you beat

Three steps ahead of everything, lately I wake up feeling like

[Chorus]

Oh, where does the time go?

You never really know

Till you're standing in the bathroom mirror like, "No"

Shit, we got so close

Hit me fast and slow

Funny thing about nostalgia

Didn't show up till I lost ya, ooh

Didn't show up till I lost ya, ooh

[Verse 2]

My ma wasn't raised right, oh, no, all she ever knew was guilt

Little did she know that's all her kids would ever grow to feel

And every choice leads back to that trait

Every time that I drink and heart that I break

It's a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes

And man, lately I wake up feeling like

[Chorus]

Oh, where does the time go?

You never really know

Till you're standing in the bathroom mirror like, "No"

Shit, we got so close

Hit me fast and slow

Funny thing about nostalgia

Didn't show up till I lost ya, ooh (When I lost ya)

Didn't show up till I lost ya, ooh (When I lost ya, no)

Didn't show up till I lost ya (Ooh)

It didn't show up till I lost ya, ooh

[Outro]

And now I bite my tongue ten times a day

Half swear to God I might just pray

And I got a lot to lose, so I might as well lose it anyway

And I, I manifested you would leave

So the day you did, I had you beat

Three steps ahead of everything
