[Verse 1]
When we first met you were just a silhouette
You would be at the party I was just a little kid
Watched you from a distance
You found me like water seeks the path of least resistance
I wasn't ready to make you acquaintance
I kept staying in the background
Man I swear one of these days I won't back down
And man, oh, man I hope to build the courage up wouldn't let me walk away from ya
I'm dazed and lackadaisical commence the countdown
Thought about how I would approach ya, wrote some poems for ya
Look another song without a chorus
It took some time for me to get it right and truly understand what you wanted out of me
In fact I was your plan all along
I guess i wish I knew it then, but then again I wouldn't really love you like I do
If I didn't know you like I do damn, damn it's been so long and I love you more now than I did back then
So if I ever walk away from you or take a break from you, its cause I had to, you'll always be my best friend
So if I ever walk away from you or take a break from you, its cause I had to you'll always be my best friend
[Chorus] (x2)
I want you out of my life
Want you out of my face
Want out of my pockets
Want you out of my space
Want you out of my home
Want you out of my hair
Want you out of my head
But it's out of my hands
[Verse 2]
I just can't explain what it does to me, about that feeling that takes over when I grab the mic and start spilling my soul
And finally letting go of everything that makes me feel like I'm gonna explode
Like I have a purpose, serving those words urgent, living the circus
Turning my wheels until I short circuit, but it feels good to be serviced
Still working, carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, feel my burden
I love the way it's hurting
Nothing ever came easy that was worth it
Started off a river rat, ended up a word smith
Seems like they always follow the worst person but why do I deserve it
I've gotta write my own journey
Give it all I got whether or not I go early
Just gotta walk forward to the future like I'm a micro naught
And never look back like look what I forgot
[Chorus] (x4)
I want you out of my life
Want you out of my face
Want out of my pockets
Want you out of my space
Want you out of my home
Want you out of my hair
Want you out of my head
But it's out of my hands
[Outro] (x7)
It's out of my hands
