I know you got a lot of demons clogging up your past
I can do some cleaning up for you, but I know we won't last
Past the winter time, 'cause summer's coming and I'm
Trying to hit a dime or two, but come next fall I'm finding you
And we can do it all again, my niggas call it legacy
I fear that the best days I've had are not ahead of me
And 'cause of that I'm searching for the one that got away from me
So busy looking back that I can't see what God has made for me
And I be texting you, texting you
I'm trying to find the one who got away from me
Yeah, I'm still texting you, texting you
Hey, I'm trying to find the one who got away
Commitment issues, I can't even decide what's for dinner
Pardon these selfish flows, I need a Yelp for...
I need to read reviews, 'cause some of the
Evil that I've seen you do is unbelievable
Menopause, inconceivable, tennis ball
Causing that racket outside my mama house, what's it all about?
Guess it's a thin line between love and hate
The love we make is temporary like this lovely place I'm living in
Wait, that's contemporary, never mind, I'm tripping then
But then again, it's hard to settle in this modern era
We could be as tight as that dress you barely fitting in
But my fear of missing out has got me on a trip again
Right into that A-town, that A-town, tour bus, no Greyhound
My lust is profound, your trust just breaks down
Your heart don't glue back, quite right
My heart is too black, like white flight
That pushed the people to the suburbs, now they want their city back
So they raise the rent and the property tax
Why I feel like in a few years I'll relate to that?
Knowing I let you go and regretting that fact
'Cause I done spent so long playing games and holding back
From giving all of me, too scared that I won't get it back
And yes, I'm well aware I rhymed the word "back" with "back"
'Cause that's exactly the direction that I'm tired of looking at
And that's why I be texting you, texting you
I'm trying to find the one who got away from me
Texting you, texting you
Hey, I'm trying to find the one who got away
Rolling around in vacant town cars on our way to the stop
Gas in a bottle, wishing I found a way to make time stop
Exoticated, running with gangsters with their hammers on cock
I'm infatuated, but I know deep down that they every day that I'm not
And I'm still texting you, texting you
(If you text me back and you give me a stop
I'll be in town for a little while)
And I be texting you, texting you
Call me when you wanna fly, yeah, yeah, yeah
Tell you all the reasons why, yeah, yeah, yeah
Youngins turning into old, yeah, yeah, yeah
Summer's turning into snow, yeah, yeah, yeah
Memories and lullabies, yeah, yeah, yeah
Floating in a lonely sky, yeah, yeah, yeah
When the weather's getting cold, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're the one I wanna hold, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Even back then we knew what love could choose
Gave me so much time and there's that much more to lose
Even back then we knew what love could choose
Gave me so much time and there's that much more to lose
