24hrs Of Sunlight

(album: Arabella Street - 2018)

I lie, she lies, we lie lie
I lie, she lies, we lie lie

You see
From the beginning she showed a little bit of her True Colours
I should have been Bruce Willis
And not date Dem no more
Because it wasn't the real thing, no faith no more
Little like Biggie Smalls, I guess I was way out of my depth
My head just above the water she was Jaws to flesh
A serial man-eater, little Hannibal Lector
Suppressing energy just like I was Tesla
And you were the government, watching me smothering
Every little step that I took, do do do do
It's like I had another queen ducking into Buckingham Palace for some loving, do do do do
She said I'm watching you sleeping, count every breath that you're taking, baby
She said agree upon it, if I find you cheating on me, I'm a fucking find you boy

Twenty four hours of sunlight
So she can keep one eye on me all the time
You need to be you girl
You need to be you, so that I can see
So I can see
I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, ain't over the moon girl
You need to be you but together we foolish
Tell you the truth nigga I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, I ain't over the moon
I ain't over, ain't over the moon girl
You need to be you but together we foolish
Girl what the hell are we doing?

So I don't think we should see each other anymore
I can't carry you baby, I'm suddenly stuck with menopause
Men will pause when they seeing you on the street
But I'm running the other way like the finish line it was jinxed
Cause girl you were the worst fun, like the Gravitron
Fights turn you on like putting water in a water bomb
You were the bomb to any of them outsiders
As soon as the door closed you turned into Al Qaeda
And, I was the government, watching me smothering every little step that I took, do do do do
Like I had another lover, couldn't even speak to my mother with that look, do do do do
And she said I'm watching you sleeping, count every breath that you're taking, baby
She said believe me, if you think you're leaving me, Ima fucking find you boy

Twenty four hours of sunlight
So she can keep one eye on me all the time
You need to be you girl, you need to be you
You need to be you, you need to be you
So I can see, so I can see
So I can see, so I can see

I lie, she lies, we lie lie
We lay on a bed of nails
I lie, she lies, we lie lie
But only to ourselves

She wants twenty four hours of sunlight
So she can keep one eye on me all the time
You need to be you, you need to be you girl
You need to be you girl so I can see what I don't need and I can leave

She said we can not be friends
She said we can not be friends
We can not be friends
Hey believe me now, all the drama I can live without
