there's too much time and there's not enough words
i can't shake the feeling, thrust into the world
love during quarantine, all day spent inside
mask on to buy groceries, go for a ride
we wrote this in a week but they blur together
open the window to look at the weather
netflix and prime and disney plus
popcorn and gummies, absolutely no rush
you colour my soul just like pastels
three years later and i hope time tells
unprecedented, clearly never planned it
holding your hand at the end of the planet
i don't wanna feel it if the feeling's lessened
you light up the dark and you glow fluorescent
every moment we're apart is a wasted second
i don't want your love unless your love is present
can’t get you off my mind
put the tape in, hit rewind
made a wish upon a star
to always be where you are
now we’re in the same place again
baby, even if the world ends
make art, colour out the lines
everything will be just fine

melt away with me, baby
together we’ll go crazy
summer days so hazy
let's melt away
let's melt away
let's melt away
back it up, throw it in reverse
when pluto was a planet
had no change in my purse
now i got money - well, just a bit
to spend on my queen
miss sweet cherry lips
i’ll make the drive no matter how far
over state lines in my mother’s car
i'd give it all up just to grill and chill
just take my hand and say you will
lost in your blizzard
you turn me upside down
you're everything i want
that i can't have right now
i miss how i felt
when we were all alone
i always melt
on the drive back home
thinkin' back to the summer heat
with you sat flat on my passenger seat
all the lazy monday afternoons
that now i waste without my little spoon
all my friends ask where you went
and what happened to all the money i spent
they say it's safer to keep us apart
but they don't know what's in my heart
at 3am i text "u up?"
but your neon sign's never lit up
the queen is dead, long live the queen
i need your choco brownie extreme
i know nothing's ever as it seems
but when did i turn into a fiend?
lost in your blizzard
you turn me upside down
you're everything i want
that i can't have right now
i miss how i felt
when we were all alone
i always melt
on the drive back home
let's melt away
let's melt away
let's melt away
let's melt away
let's melt away
let's melt away

okay, she only calls me danger, acts like she's a stranger
pull up in that ranger 'til she start acting topanga
just playing, it's a mazda, i don't ever drive her
not 'cause i got a driver, just 'cause it's a pandemic
the issue is systemic, my days phase into nites
i'll call you in the morning, i hope that that's alright
you're in the backyard hanging up the net
with your shoes grass stained and your ankles wet
we just playing soccer
you a grouch like oscar
i go wilde like oscar
my man isaac like oscar
need some of that normani motivation
a vacation from this vacation
asleep by four, i'll be up at lunch
you pass me the cup, drinkin' fruit punch
stuck in summer
can’t outrun her
wrap around porch, wrapped in you
salty skin and deja vu
days blur together, but it's okay
sippin' sweet sugar night and day
back at it like a bad habit
with the rap magic, i go illmatic
my girl got a model walk
i got some monologues
turned my cohort into coworkers
turned my spare change into cheeseburgers
every penny counts
can you calculate the tip if we order out?
emmet gets slap happy, i listen to dababy
and hope that when i grow up, i won't be too shabby
that's a lot to leap
it's too hot to sleep
i taste your lipstick on my teeth
i pray the lord my soul to keep
if i'm down by six, i'll be up at lunch
another sugar rush, drinkin' fruit punch
stuck in summer
can’t outrun her
wrap around porch, wrapped in you
salty skin and deja vu
days blur together, but it's okay
sippin' sweet sugar night and day

got me feeling like shania in '97
come on over like reruns of seventh heaven
like running through the streets, screaming on the swings
talking on the phone through paper strings
you got me catching on like a wildfire
like john mayer playing in my head when i'm tired
like lorde hanging in the back of louvre
or florence in the dog days every time you move
like hayley in '07 but it's more than a crush
all those songs i shuffled on my iPod touch
you got me feeling like the tracks that i loved growing up
i love you like the music that i loved growing up
you're stuck in my head, always replaying
keep my feet tapping and my hips swaying
you take me back to that feeling
windows down, just breathing
you're the lyrics, the rhythm, the notes
in every song that makes me float
the only way i could say "i love you"
is to say you're the music i sing to
got me feeling like ezra in 2013
holding hands with hannah hunt in the back of the sistine
like billy in '77 and '19
or martha in the heatwave back in '63
dad raised me on the stones, feel those grooves in my bones
mom raised me on the good book, not the good book alone
staying up all nite calling you on the phone
got me feeling like hotelier looking for a home
like chance on acid rap if the trip lasts long
i'm lost but i wanna be your favorite song
that's love like donald way before redbone
hope it lasts longer than my old headphones
you're stuck in my head, always replaying
keep my feet tapping and my hips swaying
you take me back to that feeling
windows down, just breathing
you're the lyrics, the rhythm, the notes
in every song i can't help but quote
the only way i could say "i love you"
is to say you're the music i sing to
you're stuck in my head, always replaying
keep my feet tapping and my hips swaying
you take me back to that feeling
windows down, just breathing
you're the lyrics, the rhythm, the notes
in every song that makes me float
only way i could say "i love you"
is to say you're the music i sing to

okay, i start the cypher like one, two, three
my top five is pac, pac, pac, .paak, and me
your man listens to me like i'm young thug
your mom listens to me like i'm k-love
but my crew too live like uncle luke
my whip too sick like chicken soup
can't be a pop rapper, i don't drink caffeine
if you're from the south, dunno what that means
my girl's a lil bougie but she's straight outta ct
i take her to the movies and then dinner at qt
she says "it sounds good" - i'm like "who me?"
i just want some pizza, she wants a jacuzzi
shout out to snoopy, thirty two days later
quarantined in east point, drove out to decatur
what's bad about spending time with my roommates?
used to have other friends, now i have zoommates
used to go to work, now i get paid to rap
and keep kellzone from going off the map
temple came home with the nerf gun strapped
but i got the gauntlet, he'll be gone in a snap
grew up in new england where my mom raised me
where the leaves change and the pizza’s crazy
spent my days in julia’s living room
just watching cars and making perfume
moved to the south and met a babe
yeah, you guessed it - his name is wade
made art with friends
setting all the trends
now this chapter ends
what’s around the bend?
grateful for the people along the way
who’ve made me who i am today
friends like these, no need for enemies
'cause our whole house got luck like kennedys
this living situation's ideal like a platonist
'cept our roommate calibaby may be a satanist
she's been my best friend for two whole years
but when i watch her eat bugs, still get the fear
but yeah, we're on a yacht, we forgot all our problems
'cause when the beat bops, it comes damn near to solve 'em
this is an ode to my people, pals, and mates
one day they'll be looking back saying we're the greats
you might as well say we're an artsy bunch
whether rapping or tapping or packing that punch
we love us some car time, jamming to the tunes
sipping on the lemonade, listening to those croons
they may not always accept my hugs
but that's okay, man, i still feel their love
thanks for the beers and the cheers, what a prime
we'll never stop saying "hey, remember that time?"

wake up alone
sun shining through
i'd feel better if my view was you
the tree outside my window blossoms pink
every thought is you, it's so hard to think
the sun heats up the room
i'm just trying to keep it cool
you could be my summer shade
while i'm sitting by the pool
without you the seasons feel so long
they come and they go, still don’t get me wrong
don’t be so blue
i'm coming soon
don't shed a tear
cry for me, dear
this is our year
we’re making history
you’re coming with me
no more being lonely
just pull me in closely
all day spent alone
six hours on my phone
praying for a loan
a house is not a home
four walls closing in
a stranger in my skin
bathtub filled with gin
where do i begin?
it goes one day, two naps, three hours, no cap
four weeks, five weeks, six weeks, no sleep
i'm just being dramatic, one hell of a habit
tell me if it's on fire, maybe i should start the wire
don’t be so blue
i'm coming soon
don't shed a tear
cry for me, dear
this is our year
we’re making history
you’re coming with me
no more being lonely
just pull me in closely
drowning in time, drowning in tv
drowning all alone, reach out to me
nowhere else to go, no one else to be
no one else i love, reach out to me

shoulder pads and the frill
praying for the will
to make the first move
get out there and groove, baby
get butterfly pretty
dance in the rain
blue eyeshadow
sip secret champagne
now i wait for you to
time after time, i'm just a friend
i wanna dance with somebody 'til the nite ends
have faith, grab your jacket, it's just like heaven
we'll be burning down the house way past eleven
don't you forget to slick back your hair
you could take on me or i could take you there
that's the power of love - hold the phone
and come and dance with me in the danger zone
i see you across the floor
(and you see her standing there)
you’re someone i could adore
(and she has flowers in her hair)
you ask me to dance
(and you hold out your hand to her)
i say this our chance
dance into my dream
hold me close
let's groove tonight
make a toast
dance into my dream
light on our toes
let’s groove tonight
make the most
before you go go - just let your body shake
you know i'll follow every move you make
dance into my dream - it's tricky to do
but baby, you make my dreams come true
dance into my dream
light on our toes
let’s groove tonight
make the most

there’s too many people
i don’t like this crowd
take me by the hand
let’s leave what’s loud
dance outside to muffled music
before we stop ourselves from choosing
our bodies are free and light
when we’re together, the world feels bright
our laugh echoes and our eyes lock
never looking at the clock
but we’ll remember what time is like
and how we can’t stay in this night
i don’t know if i can love
love is something you can grow out of
if you're home now
how come i'm the one telling you to slow down?
slow down
if you're so down
then why'd you never write me? i was so down
so down
if you're home now
how come i'm the one telling you to slow down?
slow down
if you're so down
then why'd you never write me? i was so down
i was so down
wrote this on easter, i know he's the reason
our love went in cycles, i rewrote the season
i read all your novels, we spent the day in
you thought i didn't notice, you shouldn't say it
if it's not bubbling up in you
it's bubbling up in me
playing with your hair in my living room
i hope one day you feel free
my sister says that you're pretty
but i dunno if you fit me
i mean, i know that you get me
but i dunno if you get me
love is for two people, and that's who we are
how i came i never felt it, until you were far?
sorry i can't pretend it's usual
did you mean it when you said that i was beautiful?
if you're home now
how come i'm the one telling you to slow down?
slow down
if you're so down
then why'd you never write me? i was so down
so down
if you're home now
how come i'm the one telling you to slow down?
slow down
if you're so down
then why'd you never write me? i was so down
i was so down

we wrote this in a week and we didn't earn anything
it's just a rush but it could be everything
wrote this in pandemic and i hoped i was alive
the squeeze of your hand, the glint in your eyes
wake me up when it's time, i'll wait 'til then
i'll be glad to be your man when the world ends
it's just chilling out, doesn't have to be scary
but now i'm nostalgic for february
think i got too complacent in the daily grind
so if you got time, i'm thankful for the time
the first one was yours, and now you're mine
and now we made the second when the stars aligned
wake me up from my nap when we play in the back
if it's done like that, we'll be ready for the crash
cuddle rap is back
you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are grey
you’ll never know, dear, how much i love you
to my sunshine: i hope you’ll stay
you are my sunshine
my only sunshine
you make me happy when skies are grey
you’ll never know, dear, how much i love you
to my sunshine: i hope you’ll stay
