Self Control
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'll be the boyfriend in your wet dreams tonight
Noses on a rail, little virgin wears the white
You cut your hair but you used to live a blonded life
Wish I was there, wish we'd grown up on the same advice
And our time was right
Keep a place for me, for me
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
Keep a place for me, for me
Now and then you miss it, sounds make you cry
Some nights you dance with tears in your eyes
I came to visit, 'cause you see me like a UFO
That's like never, 'cause I made you use your self-control
And you made me lose my self-control, my self-control
Keep a place for me, for me
I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing
Keep a place for me
It's nothing, yeah, it's nothing
It's nothing, it's nothing
I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summer time
Give up, just tonight, night, night, night
I, I, I know you got someone comin'
You're spittin' game, y'know you got it, yeah
I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave
Take down some summer time
Give up, just tonight, night, night, night
I, I, I know you got someone comin'
(Keep a place for me, for me)
You're spitting game, y'know you got it, yeah
(I'll sleep between y'all, it's nothing)
I, I, I know you gotta leave, leave, leave
(It's nothing, yeah, it's nothing, keep a place for me, for me)
Take down some summer time
Give up, just tonight, night, night
(Keep a place for me, for me)
I, I, I know you got someone comin'
(It's nothing, yeah, it's nothing)
You're spitting game, y'know you got it, yeah
(It's nothing, yeah, it's nothing)
