Verse 1
3 years I been down
Then you came on in and then grabbed my hand and you won't let go and I thank you mam
Cuz I've think I'm on the mend now
I been needing some and this love been pondering really what it is I see it does exist
so let your defense down
Cuz we live in a time where we can't decide if we want to ride or if we want to drive so we sit on the side line,
Never get our feet wet, for fear that we'll be set in some deep depth, cant breath yes but it's better than a heart filled with regret right
Pre Chorus
If I dared to show myself would you show me you
Girl I been feeling lonely too
Nobody else I wanna share these goals with too
girl it's only you its only you
Chorus
It seems that half of us are scared to show our selves
I swear the other half don’t even know themselves
End up sitting waiting for somebody else to help
And I’m done with runnin’ round, cuz I think I love her now
I’m feeling it, I’m revealing
Never had nothing realer than,
the feelings that I'm feeling man
Got a love bite I’m bout to reel it in.
Verse 2
1 year it's been now
Since its been you and me and you stole my heart but you kept it safe your my Noah’s ark
When those dark clouds open out,
All the tears I shed will be washed away,
Now that I got you and you got me babe
Were lovers and best friends now
And I’m shit scared and I'm terrified, but my mama told me don’t be scared of life so
I’m holding back nothing now.
And if its too much then don’t think about it, you refuse to see then you'll sink and drown it so lets be honest girl
Pre Chorus
Chorus
Not chasing dreams we chasing goals
Not chasing dreams we just chasing goals
They dream of it but we doing it
They dream of it but we doing it
If we start it then we'll go through with it
We got our hearts set so let’s do this shit
