Step back and return to where you nest at
Got a Six Pack hidden in your book bag
Women treat him like a lab rat
Fuck that
And they genuinely wonder what he's mad at
Dry spell, raise hell, get twizzy
Drunk dial, "Hey girl do you miss me?"
She doesn't speak
She lip syncs to silence
He thinks, well I guess that's what I get
On the train home feeling like a drifter
Need water, the cotton mouth is bitter
Sit down, take the pressure off the blisters
4am in the company of sinners
I don't wanna
Burn down this city
But it feels like that's the only way you'll miss me
See the thing is, I did this before
But what I want isn't in your store
Play it cool, act real rude
But I played the fool
After I drank the booze
It goes
Dry spell, raise hell, get twizzy
Drunk talk, "Hey girl, wanna kiss me?"
Now it's awkward
Fuck, it's awkward
I didn't mean to be so forward
Damn
I'm getting tangled by embarrassment
Call my friend and let him listen to me vent
I don't make sense, I'm getting sick of my own voice
I wish that girl made the right choice
I don't wanna burn down this whole town
And make you see the flames
This wasn't my goal
I hope you know
I'm never gonna be the same
Said I don't wanna
Burn down this city
But it feels like that's the only way you'll miss me
And the gasoline spreads
From the toes of the city
All the way to her head
Yeah
I know it's time for bed
But my daydreams didn't save space for the rest
I'm inept at redemption
Signs that I'm sending
Are misconstrued through piss and brew
So Imma just go ahead and light it up
Live through the dust
Like a diamond in the rough
Enough's enough
With lady luck and her trust fund
Sitting stagnant
Waiting till the love come
I want a lump sum
Freeze time while the flame's at it's most fun
I'm in love son
