Last minute addition to album. Influenced by The Weeknd's Rolling Stone. Introspective acoustic slow jam.
lyrics
Second chances
We don’t get that many
Better recognize what I got here
How I fucking got here
Yes I recognize
I’m in this life I roam and I recognize this ain’t enough
I don’t care what anyone says but I’ve been wasting time
For too long too long, I’m depressing for too long
I’ve been sitting too long, back in my parents’ home
Working jobs I pretend to like, do my life over right
I experience the heat, pressure’s burning up life
I can’t settle down these urges and I don’t feel wanted enough
Ooh but until then
Been withdrawing
Yea you feel me slippin
And man I’m out, for better or for worse
That was two years ago
I don’t care what I feel but I’m reminded of the Northeast for too long, too long, too long
Yea, I’ve been regretting this long
I’ve been waiting too long, tryna write this fucking song
To experience my peak, even as it comes to me
Opportunity disappears, and I have too many fears
Like singing about these bitches that got no self esteem
Yea I talk about my issues but I hope you don’t leave
Just listen as I sing this final note
Oooh but until then
