Passing Time
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.
Time after time I'll tell you why again
Why won't you let me leave?
Fuckin' up more than the bag, you fuckin' up friends
If I told you the whole truth, would you lie?
If my heart is in your hand, will I die?
If your momma and your daddy don't like me
Would you stay in my corner when I fight?
Would you love me? (Would you love me?)
Do you believe in life after love?
'Cause I've been thinkin' we both had enough
But I'm not sayin' that's the answer, oh
Oh, I want her to tell me if it's real, if you really got no trust
I'ma make you bust, but I need you to be cool with yourself
Maybe we be goin' slow-mo
Maybe we should pick it up like on the go-go (go-go)
Maybe change the pace is needed for the glow
We can take it or we leave it or we show out
Time after time I'll tell you why again
Why won't you let me leave? (lil' dumb bitch)
Fuckin' up more than the bag, you fuckin' up friends ([?] lil' bitch)
If I told you the whole truth, would you lie? (to me)
If my heart is in your hand, will I die? (Will I die?)
If your momma and your daddy don't like me (don't like me)
Would you stay in my corner when I fight? (when I fight?)
Would you love me? (would you love me?)
Don't start nothin' it won't be nothin' (it won't be nothin')
Good love comes with a little bag and no strings (little bag, no strings)
Say now, if you ready I can be your savior (your savior)
Say, oh, say you with it, I'ma see you later (later)
Girl, you all up in my head, I keep my distance
I be wishin' for the better in an instant
I be handlin' all my shit 'cause it's the business
But I know if I let go that I will miss this (miss this)
Miss this
Time after time I'll tell you why again (why? Why?)
Why won't you let me leave?
Fuckin' up more than the bag, you fuckin' up friends (ooh, ooh)
If I told you the whole truth, would you lie? (To me)
If my heart is in your hand, will I die? (Will I die?)
If your momma and your daddy don't like me (don't like me)
Would you stay in my corner when I fight? (When I fight?)
Would you love me? (Would you love me?)
