Pick it up right where we left off, girl we can pick it up
Jase, lets pick it up
I took the time out to stop and reflect on the depths of my dealings with the opposite s**
Rocky at best, few deemed me pretty, but the sweet talk's been enough to always keep me busy
They'd sip their cask the night, fill the gla**, enough to spill my heart when she pa**ed me by
Drought for weeks, then when it rained it poured, til i was caught up in a storm wishing i stayed indoors
Slave to desire, i hadnt yet learned, that you play with fire and you get burned
So i stayed by the flame, thicker the taste of forbidden fruit should outweigh her heartache and pain
When karma made its way back to attack, cupid's s**er punch had me laid flat on my back
Stress, this is all too hard, so i mask the pain and shame in macho-esqe bravado
Like, i dont need em, knowing that id change my course and gladly trade the emptyness for freedom
If i found what i've been waiting for when she walked back into my life i had my faith restored
Press play baby, make me yours, its ours now, letting your light in, letting my guard down
And each breath etched is real, that right hook, got me left foot, right foot, but im head over heels, so we can
So we can pick it up, slide with me, let the love lift you up and come and fly with me
Or we could put it down, who would'a knew that we can't do that now, we been through that
I could give my all, all for you, close eyes, let go and just fall with you
So baby won't you come around, baby won't you come around
Yes, i took the time out to think things through, the young hearts ran free through the fast life and caught me a few
Ran in time the house parties was in, the after cla**, the close friends bragged 'bout how many they bagged and pa**ed it
We juggled a few, multitasked it, fell for a couple but did well to mask it
Bark about the benefits, wish it went that way, but petty sh** that sooner had me searching for greener pastures
Dreamed of being a player til i was one, still i met the odd one with way too much gain for james
But me myself had got me knee-high, realised the main thing for me was the chase, ain't nothing changed
Most can relate but some get burned and escape, some get burned and still stay
I dont mean to break hearts and close ties, i just jump headfirst with closed eyes and learn from my mistakes
So we can pick it up, slide with me, let the love lift you up and come and fly with me
Or we could put it down, who would'a knew that we can't do that now, we been through that
I could give my all, all for you, close eyes, let go and just fall with you
So baby won't you come around, baby won't you come around
Yeah, so thats where im at now, glad you feel that way, but til that day, i guess way to play the background
Its not about a one night stand, nah, but sometimes man must do whats comes natural, put the mac down
Yeah thats sounds cool, i can respect that you jaded and im right there with you each step of the way
But this the way that i feel weeding out the fake from real, it ain't easy if you play that field
See girls scars take ages to heal, when these days im done wasting my time on the flavour of the month
But that said, i backpeddled for years and shed tears, your life ain't for keeps, so we play it for fun
I guess the view changes depending on where you stand at, coz when that pendulum swings you can have all of your plans scrapped
So baby you could stand back or take my hand and fall without a thought of where we might land
So we can pick it up, slide with me, let the love lift you up and come and fly with me
Or we could put it down, who would'a knew that we can't do that now, we been through that
I could give my all, all for you, close eyes, let go and just fall with you
So baby won't you come around, baby won't you come around
Sarah corry, double s, jase
