Lyrics

Part I

And then, the finer details—who's your Juliet?
What's the dynamic in the situation between the two leads?
You know, I guess we're all just, we're all just looking for a happy ending somewhere

Babe, it's okay (It's okay)
I don't care if no one knows my name
Pain, it's all the same (All the same)
Even if you think it's all in vain

'Cause now you turn into a rose, into a rose, into a rose, oh-oh, oh-oh
Into a rose, into a rose, into a rose
Oh, could we let it slide?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Looking back it ain't last
The future's just a lie
We'll bе there in a night
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
We'rе both sides of a smile

[Dave, ShaSimone, Both]
Yeah
You keep the bread all to yourself and you get mold from it
You give a good girl a rose and you get gold from it
Have a child with a rat and you'll get a mouse from it
You give a woman a brick and you'll get a house from it
The first time splittin' up always the hardest thing
Love's a film and I'm just flickin' through the parts I'm in
I told her, "I don't wanna argue in this car I'm in"
And that's when she hit me with a
"Well, I don't get why you would tell me you want me to be your wifey
When you wanna be Romeo, have me here for the rodeo
I don't believe you when you gas me up and hype me
'Cause you lust in these women, you f*ckin' look nothin' like me, David
You find asylum in the countries that you fly me
And carry all of your guilt in designers bags that you buy me, David
I ain't askin' you to be someone you wasn't"
I just wanna f*ck with the person I fell in love with, but uh
Petite waist, sweet face, I'll find another man
You must have forgotten who the f*ck I am
There's plenty niggas waitin' for chances
Ask me if I'm taken, I say, "Taken for granted"
But you know this already
'Cause we've spoken already
Want me to wait 'cause you ain't ready
Now we're both in our 20's/twenties
I'd be a man before I wait for a man
This ends here
'Cause I'll be damned if I give a f*cking loser my best years
Got my own car, own money and my own body
If I show body, this for me, this ain't for nobody
I'ma change the lock on the door, think I'm a homebody?
You won't have a house to f*cking live in
'Cause you taught me you don't listen, there's a difference in mistakes and decisions, David
The first time was the worst time
It didn't hurt like the second or the third time
She put her life on pause

'Cause now you turn into a rose, into a rose, into a rose, oh-oh, oh-oh
Into a rose, into a rose, into a rose
Oh, could we let it slide?
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
Looking back it ain't last
The future's just a lie
We'll be there in a night
Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm
We're both sides of a smile

Part II

[James Blake]
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm

[Dave & James Blake]
Yeah
I just came to the area I grew up in
And they can't even see the car but from the engine
They know it's me

From North [?], the boat to the coast, the coastal Greece
I'm most at home in the places I ain't supposed to be
I grew up seeing mommy count pennies (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Tryna buy a train ticket but forget sayin' woe is me
Now I'm in LA with the open sea
They both feel like things I wasn't supposed to see (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Used to be my post, we was close
Now we argue to the rhythm of a broken beat
To the beat of a broken heart
Napoleon Bonaparte meets Joan of Arc (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
We're both fightin' the sea, this is Noah's ark
We're lovers with a broken past, grew apart
Most things that last have the slowest start
A lotta pain and a lotta tears (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
The only reason that I lie it's 'cause of what I fear
My girl knows that I'm a fan of charity but there's some information I ain't never gonna volunteer (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
I wish that I could pay for my sins with a lump sum
Restore her belief in me with a trust fund
The money can't buy nothing when the love's done
I used to cheat with Americans for a living, I felt nervous every time I got a call from a plus one (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
It takes years to build when you love one
Two and half minutes and it's undone (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Bought my girl a Birkin and she told me that these bitches can't chat to her, I tell her that they never could
You know you love her when you're doin' shit you never would
Come up off the drugs and bank scams (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
How the f*ck you think I got the name Santan?
Run up on me and get a skin tan
Only when you're gone they feel your impact
Nineteen, I had dreams of a wedding ring (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
So focused on running our race
You can ask James Blake, I ain't see the color in anything
And then the world got darker than its ever been (Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Real estate, I buss a smile
International, that's how I'm comin' now
Mortgage on the yard like twenty-two hundred but the rent's got it covered by a country mile
(Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
Feels like my luck's been runnin' out
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
(Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
(Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm)
[James Blake & Dave]
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Oh, oh, oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh
It feels like my luck's been runnin' out
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Oh, oh, oh
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
Mm-hmm-hmm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm-mm
