Thank God we turned the lights off, thank God, uh

Took you south
Guess I got my jaw agape, now I’m a cotton mouth
Why do I feel so unsafe? What am I worried ’bout?
Got sedated sipping 80 proof
Skip the winter season like it’s pay-per-view
It ain’t you, I’m just caught up in my own shit, licking wounds
I know it isn’t state of the art, but the plate’s à la carte
Would you like course two?
(I don’t really think I’m perfect)
And what I never knew
(I don’t really think I’m—, I don’t really think I’m perfect)
Could— could I be inside my head with you?
Freaked out tryna fuck you right
I know you never grade looks, still feel like a five
But you said if we make love and I start to cry that
I can let it all out, shouldn’t rationalize but Goddamn
Do I deserve that you can’t hear me now?
It just gets so deep, and it goes so deep
Now that I’m peering down

Take it all, just don’t take it all to heart
