[Intro]

Yeah

Yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah

[Verse 1]

I remember when she told me be my lover be my man

But I told her that I can't

But I told her that I can’t

'Cause I need to free myself before I can be with you

I need to get a little view

Widen my perspective

Get a little more objective

(Please)

Maybe get more creative

That's what I told her

I said life is a river

Yeah umm

I said next to river we both gonna be fine

We can meet right here and drink a little wine

We’ll celebrate the time, and talk about the line that connected two dots who felt so lost

But then you'll go away and you won't be mine

And It's alright, never getting stuck, growing like a vine

Need no shrine, 'cause I know I'm free, not looking to find absolutes, but now I'm feelin' like a fool

[Interlude]

She told me be my lover be my boy

I told her I can’t really bring you joy

I have so much on my mind I’m paranoid about my future in this world

She told me be my lover be my boy

I told her I can't do it, need to go

She invited me up

I said no more

And only now I think I know

[Bridge]

I’m not ready

I'm afraid to open up my heart

I'm not steady

Changing every day, I'm afraid to commit

And just go

For one thing

If I’m being honest, yeah, I'm not ready

I'm not ready

[Interlude]

You think you know yourself

But then you collide with the world

And you never know when

Some things just take a lot to grow

You think you know yourself

But then you collide with the world

And you find you're not ready

You're just a baby

[Bridge]

I know

What I've lost

Oh, I know

Oh, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah

[Outro]

Need to open my heart a little more
