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've seen you with the lights off
I've seen you and you think you love me
I've seen you with your hat off
I'm dreaming of a time you knew me
So baby, is it all you've got?
Tell me if you got some more-ore
I'm thinking of some time off, off
I'm dreaming of a time that you knew me
Some things never seem to fucking work
Remember when you kissed me (kissed me)
At jimmy jones when I was 17
Convinced myself you were the shit (were the shit)
Convinced myself you love me
So baby, is that all you've got?
Tell me if you got some more-ore
I'm thinking of some time off, off
I'm dreaming of a time that you knew me
So maybe then we're better off
So maybe if it's all you wanted it
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So maybe then we're better off
So maybe if it's all you wanted it
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Remember when you missed me (missed me)
We'd accidentally meet purposely
Convinced that we were meant to be (meant to be)
Convinced myself you love me
So baby, is it all you've got?
Tell me if you got some more-ore
I'm thinking of some time off (time off, off)
I'm dreaming of a time that you knew me
So maybe then we're better off
So maybe if it's all you wanted it
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So maybe then we're better off (better off)
So maybe if it's all you wanted it
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Some things never seem to fucking work
So tell me, is it real love? Some kind of mistake
They made together that we couldn't anticipate?
And my attraction to you may bother much worse
But it's either something maybe
A longing and hattried of myself
But one or two end up alone
So the night I saw you, I could pretend I felt you
You're beautiful and I felt like everybody saw
But the truth is, so much that I hated your endorsement
Try and deny it, I tried to fight it
But I bought you red color with a 99 buff
Looking for the diamond line to us
But eventually become a asshole
To the others, the group from the outside world
So now I'm calling out for a way
To give myself in
Remember when you kissed me, when I was 17
Your skin so soft and you were the shit
But you loved me
So maybe then we're better off
So maybe if it's all you wanted it
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
So maybe then we're better off (better off)
So maybe if it's all you wanted it
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
