Sixth Sense

I ain't stranger to feeling
Like I'm kinda out of place
Kind of used to the looks
That they have on their face
But I was hoping there's a chance
That you could be my escape
(Be my escape, be my escape, be my escape)
It's like I'm floating back and forth
Between the living and dead
I wish that they could see I'm here
But they see nothing instead
I was hoping you would notice
And revive me again
(Be my escape, be my escape, be my escape)
But you talk to me like
You don't even know me
Plenty people around
But I still feel lonely
You were supposed to
Be the one that got me
When I felt like this
I'm right in front of you
But you can't even feel me
Can't hear a thing
But I'm talking freely
A million miles away
Even when you're holding my hand
You couldn't see me
Even with a sixth sense
(Be my escape, be my escape, be my escape)
Sometimes I wonder is it my fault
Did I do it myself
Do I push people away
Or do they run I can't tell
But I was hoping there's a chance
You understood what I felt
(Be my escape, be my escape, be my escape)
Now I've been banging the walls
And opening cabinet doors
Walking out on lakes
And falling through linoleum floors
I was really hoping you
Would bring me back but of course
But you talk to me like you
Don't even know me
Plenty people around
But I still feel lonely
You were supposed to
Be the one that got me
When I felt like this
I'm right in front of you
But you can't even feel me
Can't hear a thing
But I'm talking freely
A million miles away
Even when you're holding my hand
You couldn't see me
Even with a sixth sense
I'm right in front of you
But you can't even feel me
Can't hear a thing
But I'm talking freely
A million miles away
Even when you're holding my hand
You couldn't see me
Even with a sixth sense

The World of You
03:33

I love the smile you make when I can tell
That you just can't control it
The laugh that just escapes, no matter what
You just can't hold it
My favorite part of days, is when I see your face
Oh I just can't explain it
But you don't see it that way
I hate the moment that you realize
That you are not alone, and
You cover up your smile so none sees
That's so exhausting
I hate the part of days
When I can see that face is fading
But you don't see it that way
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
When you don't think I'm listening
I wish you heard yourself
The way that I do
Cuz I think the world of you
I think the world of you
I think the world of you
Oh I think the world of you
I just wish you thought the world of yourself too
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
I hear the way you cultivate
You speak and I feel the filter
Cuz there are days that what you say
It's subtle, slightly off kilter
You think if they saw through
They wouldn't understand what you do
But you don't have a clue that
I think the world of you
Oh no, I think the world of you
Oh I think the world of you
Oh I think the world of you
I just wish you thought the world of yourself too
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
When you don't think I'm listening
I think the world of you
I just wish you thought the world of yourself too
My favorite songs are the ones you sing
When you don't think I'm listening
I think the world of you
I just wish you thought the world of yourself-

Tension
04:06
|

Tensions high
Tryna remember all the advice
That I've been told a million times
Packaged nice in clever rhymes
It seems like
l never learn my lesson do I?
Cuz I know this road, it's twists and winds
Now I'm thinking, looking in your eyes
"Baby drop the act
We both know that you gon take it back
No, don't gimme that
This is just a feeling it won't last"
You look nice
Subtle sweet smile and nails painted white
Whispering to your friends all night
Ears are burning but it's cool outside
Ooh I know you're fine
But I got hangups in this closet of mine
Not your crime but you're doing the time
Self-sabatoge is a habit of mine
Blame it all on the circumstance
That I won't give you your first chance
I'm scared you'll hurt me because you can
But I still wanna ask you to dance
It's a Greek tragedy
How the hero falls at the end of Act III
You just want to get closer to me
But all I can think is
"Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)
Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)"
I think you see it in my expression
(Take my mind off of things)
Even if you don't know why I am stressing
You know that
I could stand to think just a little bit less than
(Take my mind off of things)
Than I am right now, oh your smile is so infectious
You know that
That tension's high
Tryna remember all the advice
That I've been told a million times
Packaged nice in clever rhymes
With your hand in mine
I start to feel what resembles fine
And now as I look in your eyes
For the first time I don't think
"Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)
Baby drop the act
(Drop the act)
We both know that you gon take it back
(Take it back)
Ooh, no don't gimme that
(Don't give me that)
This is just a feeling it won't last
(No it won't last)"

Only if you wanted to, yeah
Only if you wanted to, yeah
Only if you wanted to, yeah
Only if you wanted to, yeah
You talk sweet like candy
I like the way your lips move
Can they move a little closer?
Think I got a sweet tooth
That look that you gimme
Change up my whole mood
You got me feeling like a vegan
And you're a sale on kale at Whole Foods, ay
You know me, I know you, I'm honest
Shoot your shot you won't lose, I promise
Come on you know I'm down, it's obvious
Down so bad cuz you're so iconic
I'm not some random dude
And that outfit's a whole mood
I know we're out with our friends, to be frank
I'd ditch them now just for you
But only if you wanted to
Only if you wanted to, yeah
Only if you wanted to, yeah
Only if you wanted to, yeah

Only if you wanted to, yeah
Only if you wanted to, yeah

I ain't known for my composure
'Round you I try to keep my cool
I promise you that I'm sober
You just make me act like a fool
I might be better when I'm older
I might be reckless in my youth
But I ain't built for the long game
So baby, I'll be upfront with you, yeah
You know me, I know you, I'm honest
Shoot your shot you won't lose, I promise
Come on you know I'm down, it's obvious
Down so bad cuz you're so iconic
I'm not some random dude
And that outfit's a whole mood
I know we're out with our friends, to be frank
I'd ditch them now just for you

Stubborn
03:17

And I don't take advice well
That's my problem well probably
It's gotta be learned the hard way
To sink in properly
I've heard it once or twice
Wasn't listening obviously
I'm more stubborn than
I know is good for me
Hold on, let me, I've gotta- hold on
Ehem, my bad-
I'm getting real sick and tired
Of people thinking they
Know my life, like geez
Just tryna do what seems right
But everybody's
Got a path they like for me
Now I've been stressed out my mind
Just tryna figure out what
My next step should be
But some of y'all need some
Serious practice
In leaving his own to each
And I don't take advice well
That's my problem probably
It's gotta be learned the hard way
To sink in properly
I've heard it once or twice
Wasn't listening obviously
I'm more stubborn than
I know is good for me
You said your passion is business
I don't know you meant mine
You think you're fixing my life
I bet you think you're so kind
But if we're not close
I think that I'll be fine
I'd rather have a real friend
Than your advice
I'm not thirty-eight
So I don't lick my fingers when I turn the page
I'm sure Gary Vee's life really turned out great
But I don't think I need to resell china plates
Oh hit 'em with it Vincent, give it to 'em
And I don't take advice well
That's my problem probably
It's gotta be learned the hard way
To sink in properly
I've heard it once or twice
Wasn't listening obviously
I'm more stubborn than
I know is good for me

I'm doubting all this already
Call me anything just not steady
The collar on this shirt's suffocating
I'm insecure bout all that I'm making
Getting over kinda slow my bad I'm
Not quite past what you said last I
Wish I could say I move on fast but
You vocalized fears I didn't know I had no
But I'm not
I'm not half the man I want to be
(I want to be)
And I don't take advice well honestly
(Oh honestly)
I'm not half the man I want to be
(I want to be)
And I don't take advice well honestly
(Oh honestly)
(I want to be)
(Oh honestly)
(I want to be)
(Oh honestly)
Don't know what it is
That we're doing
You got me screwed up
In my head
I hate how it's been
How we're moving
No this ain't real love
It's been too toxic, cuz
I'm not half the man I want to be
With how I'm acting lately honestly
Cuz I'm not half the man I want to be
Ever since you came and messed with me

Half the Man
03:16

Comparison will be the death of me
Cuz everyone's impressive in this industry
How can I compete
When he looks like that and I can't write like she
Am I enough with just the best that I can be
I'm not sure where I'll be next week
Cuz I'm terrified of the life in front of me
I'm moving forward the best that I know how
But I'm not half the man I want to be now
New York skyline on my computer screen
Cuz I can't move until you people follow me
Doing this for free
Cuz it's what I love, but this world ain't cheap
Am I enough with just the best that I can be?
I'm not sure where I'll be next week
Cuz I'm terrified of the life in front of me
I'm moving forward the best that I know how
But I'm not half the man I want to be now
(I want to be, I want to be)
(I want to be, I want to be)
I'm not sure where I'll be next week
But that's kind of exciting, don't you think
I'm moving forward the best that I know how
Cuz I'm not half the man I want to be now

Suburbs
03:37
|

I grew up in the
Suburbs of a college town
Just South of Oklahoma City
We spent Saturdays
Watching football and
Mowing our lawns just so we looked pretty
And you could buy
Adderal from the
Girl with the spray tan
Overpriced weed from the
Guy who grew up on the East side
Sundown town 'till the
Nineteen sixties
But at least we've got
A church at every stoplight
I moved out to a country town
But I still go back every Summer and Christmas
Cuz when you lie to everybody
You fool yourself
You fool yourself
It takes a lot to look that perfect
But we do it well
Oh we do it well
And when you lie to everybody
You fool yourself
You fool yourself
It takes a lot to look that perfect
But we do it well
Oh we do it well
Picket fences are
Out of style so we just
Hide our flaws with good old fashioned smiles
Highschool sweethearts buy
Big old houses
But they ain't said "I love you" in a while
I moved out to a country town
But I still go back every Summer and Christmas
We all whispered our cries for help
But it was ugly so nobody would listen
Cuz when you lie to everybody
You fool yourself
You fool yourself
It takes a lot to look that perfect
But we do it well
Oh we do it well
I'd rather get help than look perfect
I'd rather look weak than be alone
Admit I'm falling apart I'm not put together
You're far more loved than you could know
I'd rather get help than look perfect
I'd rather look weak than be alone
Admit I'm falling apart I'm not put together
You're far more loved than you could know

I text you, and you send me a text back
(Four hours later)
The conversation's dying I'm replying but it's just a little flat
(How bout that)
I'm tryna find, the spark I thought we had
(Don't know where it's at)
But to be honest your defenses are feeling so iron clad
I don't know your past
Don't know how you're feeling
But I promise that I'm different than
These guys that you've been dealing with
Cuz my favorite song is the one I hear when I see your face (See your face)
And there ain't a soul on the planet Earth that could take your place (No baby)
I'll do all I can just to prove to you that it isn't fake (Isn't fake)
And to make it worth forgiving the wrong decisions I'll make (Ooh baby)
And you'll make mistakes I know, cuz everyone's the same (All the same)
But there ain't a soul on the planet Earth that could take your place (No baby)
I get the feeling you're feeling me
But you're apprehensive
(You're apprehensive, you're apprehensive)
Talk is cheap, and I understand that
You know your time's expensive
(So expensive, so expensive)
And you can't afford to waste it
On me if I'm just faking
(But I'm not faking, baby I'm not faking)
I know the chance you're taking
The weight of the choice you're making
I don't know your past
Don't know how you're feeling
But I promise that I'm different than
These guys that you've been dealing with
Cuz my favorite song is the one I hear when I see your face (See your face)
And there ain't a soul on the planet Earth that could take your place (No baby)
I'll do all I can just to prove to you that it isn't fake (Isn't fake)
And to make it worth forgiving the wrong decisions I'll make (Ooh baby)
And you'll make mistakes I know, cuz everyone's the same (All the same)
But there ain't a soul on the planet Earth that could take your place (No baby)

Now there ain't another soul out here
As far as I'm concerned
We already hit the small talk yeah
I already know your date of birth
You're not sure if you caught me staring
Either way I caught you first
I smile and compliment your hair
You know I've always had a thing for curls
If I'm honest
There's a lot going on behind these eyes
That are locked in
To yours
If I'm honest
There's a lot I'd say if
I wasn't scared of breaking your heart
So now I'm torn
Leaves fall in the autumn
Waves crash in the sea
It seems unavoidable
The way you look at me
I try to hold on to
Some form of control
Cuz I know how this goes
I don't wanna let go
I'm tryna learn from my mistakes
Honey I don't wanna waste your time
But with the look that's on your face
I'm very fine with you wasting mine
Loud music, heavy bass
But somehow I can read your mind
Can't lie it feels like fate
That you and I are here tonight
If I'm honest
There's a lot going on behind these eyes
That are locked in
To yours
If I'm honest
There's a lot I'd say if
I wasn't scared of breaking your heart
So now I'm torn
Leaves fall in the autumn
Waves crash in the sea
It seems unavoidable
The way you look at me
I try to hold on to
Some form of control
Cuz I know how this goes
I don't wanna let go
Girl I want you
But you might be better off without me there
I'm not tryna lead you on
Girl I want you
But you might be better off without me there
Will I hurt you I don't know

Limbo
03:01

|
Back and forth, up and down
I say yes, you say okay
East and North, barely off
I haven't talked to you all day
We're too old for this kinda stuff
Even our early twenties is wisdom enough
To know that all these games don't have a point
To know that we can't just fake love
If you mean yes then just say yes
And if you mean no then won't you say so
We can take time to find the in-between
But l've always hated limbo
Limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
I can't do this limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
Limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
I can't do this limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
No connection just the history
You feel like you are stuck with me
This isn't what it's supposed to be I swear
(Oh no I swear, oh I swear)
We're more invested than we think
You'll miss it if you stop to blink
And honestly it's getting hard to bear
We're too old for this kinda stuff
Even our early twenties is wisdom enough
To know that all these games don't have a point
To know that we can't just fake love
If you mean yes then just say yes
And if you mean no then won't you say so
We can take time to find the in-between
But l've always hated limbo
Limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
I can't do this limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
Limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
I can't do this limbo
(I can't do this no, no I can't do this, no)
I'm hoping there's a part of this
That maybe we can salvage
But I'm scared that if I try
I'm just being selfish
We're too old for this kinda stuff
Even our early twenties is wisdom enough
To know that all these games don't have a point
To know that we can't just fake love
If you mean yes then just say yes
And if you mean no then won't you say so
We can take time to find the in-between
But l've always hated limbo

Thunder falling from the heavens
Too much for me to take
If this is supposed to be a lesson
I'll try to learn when I am safe
For now, all I need is peace
Tonight, I can't be alone
But where the dawn and darkness meet
There sat a tree that gave me hope
A beautiful place
Thorns interwoven at the base
Storms, twisted scars
So weather worn
Flowers blooming where the
Ground had torn
A beautiful place
Thorns interwoven at the base
I've been feeling disconnected
Out of touch, misunderstood
Not too many want to get me
And even fewer really could
For now, all I need is peace
Tonight, I can't be alone
But where the dawn and darkness meet
It's in that tree that I feel known
A beautiful place
Thorns interwoven at the base
Storms, twisted scars
So weather worn
Flowers blooming where the
Ground had torn
A beautiful place
Thorns interwoven at the base
