[Verse1]
Feel like I've been this way a time or two
Times two
Exhausted tryna define you, & finding truth
What I mean is I like you, but I don't like to
Cause I know how I do
& half the time I barely like me
So, how can I pursue a space & create a place in your mind
Where I am you
The friend zone is like a sect of hell
My feelings I protect them well
That's to my detriment
Such is life
& I don't want you to call me with "I kinda like this guy & I need your advice"
Nah.........my pops would tell me shoot your shot
My boy says call for the ball & abuse the block
My past says you're a s**er for love
& you don't know how to pick em
So how is this gon' be different
But you are worth climbing over the walls that I've built
Breaking them down & using the bricks to build a kingdom we could lead in
Your beauty is obvious
The problem is your posture's more concerned with my heart than any art I can draw up
& look at me, writing this record
Tryna spite my perspective
That's kinda disrespectful
But the crazy part....is when you call
&, I'm drawn to, how my spirit responds & honestly I'm alarmed
& everything's telling me wait
But the weight has my sneakers scraping pavement
& maybe I can't escape it
[Hook - Jonathan Baker]
Let me love
Let me love you, cause love is who I am (x2)
[Verse 2]
She told me she was scared
I expected it
I respect but lemme give some perspective
I have just as much to lose as you do
This ain't the usual
Normally I'd pursue you to do you
That's what I'm used to
But God impressed upon me that your precious
Perfected in imperfections
You are special
...Created & reflected
In the image of our Lord & Protector
So protect her
Learn when to lead her, how to direct her & when to let her
When my phone buzz I hope it's you
I'm pathetic
Every word I express leaves an impression
& I'm just tryna be me
Authentically
Realistically
Revealing the impotence that sits in me
As I dig in me
I'm convinced I'll reveal what is hidden in me and then you'll leave
Intimacy's been my enemy for some centuries
Cause I've, never seen it work
Divorce & discourse sits in my bloodline
One time in the air for the dream that is deeper than me sleeping with you
Let it awaken, & stem from what I think of you to thinking with you
Strategizing...fighting & compromising
With a resolve to honor God & let our options fly
Out of the sky, let it sit in the world I wanna give to you
It ain't much, but its all I have
& let God make up the difference
God create persistence
Patience & realism
Cause hey, this may be it
I'm finished
[Hook]
