SKIES

I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I’ll never forget how much I used to love her
Wanted to cuff her
I didn’t know then, I couldn’t trust her
Come to found out, she had another young brother she was sneakin' with
undercover
It all started when I met her on a cloudy day on Broad and Chestnut
Walking down the street, shaking her butt as she strut
Had me singing «my, my, my»
Praying to the Lord, «please don’t let her pass me by»
Then she stopped and said hi
I said «how you doing? My name is Nico
But you can me anytime»
She said «hey, my name is Renee and that was a corny ass pickup line»
We laughed and joked then exchanged information
Was hoping this would be a cool situation
Little did I know all the heartbreak and heartache that awaited
Wish I never had that conversation
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
After weeks of dating, late night conversations
Getting kinda serious now, I try to pace it
And take it slow, make sure to take my time
Then she started messing with the tempo for no reason or rhyme
I hit her phone, no text back for weeks
Becoming distant
I started thinking, what if she’s cheating and dismissing what we got
When she stopped pulling up to Netflix and chill, that’s when things got ill
She started telling me…
(She said)
«You know what this was when we met
I don’t know why you’re getting upset»
(And I said)
«I thought we would see where this goes
But right now I don’t know, I don’t know
'Cause I try to talk to you with no reply
Did nothing wrong so why am I the bad guy»
No response and she left me on seen
Then popped out with her new boo the next week
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
Things fall apart
We knew this from the start
Ever since the light first met the dark way back in Genesis
Just like them days, I remember her soft gentleness
So cool and so chill, filled with tenderness
I didn’t know ‘bout the forbidden fruit she was partaking in
Just like that, we got kicked out of Eden
Left to wander the vast wastelands
Left to wondering how can we sing in this strange land
Now we’re estranged, damned
How can love slip through my fingers when I held on with all I had
Thinking about what we used to be does nothing but make me mad
Now I’m laying on my rooftop, all alone
Knowing that you’ll never come back home
You were my superstar
Now I’m wondering where you are
Gazing at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
I don’t wanna wait for signs
That’s kind of the abrasive side
If you run away, that’s fine
‘Cause I’d rather sit and gaze at the skies
