(album: I Came Home Late - 2023)

Ama... can't see you... hello hello
Where are you

Staring at the break lights
Didn't realize it was midnight
Maybe it's the way I
Don't dismiss, great intent
Can I really be home soon?
Meetings on the westside
They ask how my projects coming along
I'm convinced I don't want anyone to know
But being in disguise will take me down

Down places
High stakes
Got all I was asking for
Went back for a pedicure
Time's Brazy
Remind me of the basics?
Battling with my bad rapport
Who knows what I was searching for

I finally have my chance to really say out loud
I FaceTimed you right back
I think that you cut out
Still convinced I don't want anyone to know
But maybe all this time will shake me out?

Anyone to notice please?
I signed up for the paper round
I'm sad that you waited out
Anyone could know by now

Oh and that was some deal
I don't wanna die in it
Hate me that's fine
I don't ask you bout my feelings
My angels don't abide
You ain't nuthing but some cynics yeah

Oh I had the best time
I left before it finished
You said a legend never cries
How else they supposed to fit in?
You know I'd rather stay inside
Won't you give me just a minute?

Oh and
Before I do forget
I remember to listen
Try not to mention
At another stage this would be fine
You preach to undermine
I saw you in the line
I saw you rocking at that

Downtown apartment
Driving with no caution (driving with no caution)
Coupons for your bathroom
I know where you started (I know where you started)
It doesn't really matter
Cause I can always spot you (I can always spot you)
Part of all my family
Part of the same run
And you did it (and you did it)

But why you acting different you not (but why you acting different)
And you were aiming for that one spot? (sounds about the same)
But you act like you didn't know (you act like you didn't know but I knew you you did)
When they found your burner phone
Now you celebrate alone
Ignore the details and we fail

I said anyone to notice please?
I signed up for your paper round
I'm sad that you waited out
Cause anyone could know by now

Oh it's not a done deal
I don't wanna die in it
Hate me that's fine (hate me that's fine)
I don't ask you bout my feelings
My angels don't abide
You ain't nuthing but some cynics yeah (oh you ain't nuthing but some cynics yeah)
Oh I had the best time (oh I had the best time)
I left before it finished
You said a legend never cries (a legend never cries)
How else they supposed to fit in
You know I'd rather stay inside (rather stay inside)
Won't you give me just a minute oh? (a minute, a minute, a minute yeah)

Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah
Hey yeah yeah yeah yeah

Up the stairway to heaven
