J.R. High Love

I miss the days of being in love with someone so hard
That you could no longer feel the ground beneath your feet
I only felt this way in J.R. High when I was sprung on someone so young
Without even touching tongues
Or brushing up against her in the hallway
Passing quickly, too shy, so I’d write a letter
And you know that I was better at writing than talking
Whether hiding or in plain sight
You might say, I’m still that way, look at me now
Writing a song about true love and I don’t even know your name yet
Your just a vague impression of what I want you to feel like
I will not settle for rock or pebble
I’m searching for precious metal
Luscious flower petals
Brushed in monogram tea kettles, hot love
Killing off the meek, hello
J.R. high love
We got that J.R. high love (got it, you got it)
We got that J.R. high love (you got it, you got it, you got it)
We got that J.R. high love (you got it)
We got that J.R. high love
We got that J.R. high love (we got it, we got it)
We got that…
Honestly it’s hard for me to think about that thing — love
How am I supposed to know your intentions are true between, us?
It’s hard for me to focus
If you ain’t noticed
Before this, I’ve been scarred
So you know this
My knees weak and now you won’t see me again
I’ll leave that shit
Keeping a love that deep I really don’t believe in it
I used to want romance, to slow dance
I used to put my heart in the hands of a man
I tried to make him treat me like I seen in the movies
But expectations only led disappointment to me
But you be, treating me like a queen
That’s why I push away low self-esteem
And now I’m feeling royalty
This what I deserve, boy you spoil me
But, forever’s essence — evanescence
Change is constant, stability is deception
I’m tryna open up my mind, but the realism in me won’t let me
My heart is empty
J.R. high love
We got that J.R. high love (got it, you got it)
We got that J.R. high love (you got it, you got it, you got it)
We got that J.R. high love
If you just hold on
Dusk turns dawn
Lust turns to love
Heartbreak is gone
Time heals all wounds
One day you hate love
Next day you make love
Renegade to married on the front lawn
As we grow, we start to attract the right one
Give your spirit a chance to advance
Before you lock hands
With a cancerous man or woman in the bright sun
One can see all flaws
When flaws are accepted
And love is unconditional then slow down
Stop the fight, you might of pulled the trigger on the right gun
I’d kill for love, I’d kill for my wife and my unborn son
It’s that J.R. high love
J.R. high love
We got that J.R. high love
We got that J.R. high love
We got that J.R. high love
