Off Beat

(album: How We Intended - 2021)

We just need to unwind, baby we could go
We only get one time, baby we should know
They been tryna rush mine, I been on the frontlines
I been having tough times, I been lying low
There's only a little bit of days in forever
Lotta times the rhythm doesn't stay in the measure
She love me when I'm off beat (off beat)
Off beat (off beat)
Off (off) beat
She love me when I'm

Love how you walk through the park
Same as I walk through the dark
Played you the chords of my life
And never forgotten a part
You make me feel like a bitch
And stupid for thinking that shit
Riding these waves of bravado
You just be sick of that shit
But when I be at a loss, you the answer for me
All these habits that I got, yo they cancer for me
Other dudes be showin off, ain't no "been there" to me
When I feel I can't do, you so candid wit me
On those days when I really wish Mac was still here
I really wish facts was still clear
This, that, and still fear
Risk that to feel here
Switch that, it feels weird
Mishaps and spilt beers, I been trippin
I'm the hair on Negative Nancy's worry-wart
And I been called a know-it-all but you speak that one truth that I never heard before, I heard it's yours
So let's skate before my hurt is yours

We just need to unwind, baby we could go
We only get one time, baby we should know
They been tryna rush mine, I been on the frontlines
I been having tough times, I been lying low
There's only a little bit of days in forever
Lotta times the rhythm doesn't stay in the measure
She love me when I'm off beat (off beat)
Off beat (off beat)
Off (off) beat
She love me when I'm

You
The truest to me [?] to me
See the pride in my eyes
Who you choosing to be my you
Got beauty to me so elusive I see all the grace and your kindness wit every smile and moves
I like watching you walk around when you half naked
Give it to me straight about yo past we don't have chase it
That's wasted time and that we never do, you mad patient
I try but I can never groove
The way that you dance in a storm is sublime
All the clouds in my thoughts make it pour in my mind
When in mornings and mornings I'm so porcupine
You don't let none my friends mess wit your peace of mind
Said you'd hold me down for as long as I'd do the same
Ironic we lift each other through the pain
A lot's against us, have our doubts if we could do the thing
So let's bounce before the future reigns

We just need to unwind, baby we could go
We only get one time, baby we should know
They been tryna rush mine, I been on the frontlines
I been having tough times, I been lying low
There's only a little bit of days in forever
Lotta times the rhythm doesn't stay in the measure
She love me when I'm off beat (off beat)
Off beat (off beat)
Off (off) beat
She love me when I'm
