[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-o-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
[Hook] (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 service
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
[Hook] (x4)
[Outro] (x7)
It's out of my hands
