[Part I]


[Intro: SZA]

Hey, hey, glory child, hey


[Verse 1: SZA]

Hey, glory child, don't you worry

Stuttering and shaken out of fear

Beauty's never given in a hurry

So condescending, leave your questions here

Hey, glory child, don't you worry

I can see your skeleton so clear

Doubting's only made your visions blurry

You're better off just looking in the mirror


[Chorus: SZA]

Show me a better way, I wish you could

Show me a better way, I wish you would

Come home today

You could come home today


[Verse 2: SZA]

I am shooting stars, don't you see me?

Watching over your every mistake

Digging out of graves is never easy

Handing you my shovel here to take

Always playing catch-me-if-you-can

Gingerbread, you heard I'm sweet to taste

Close your eyes, let go, and count to ten

I'll keep track of every moment wasted


[Chorus: SZA]

Show me a better way, I wish you could

Show me a better way, I wish you would

Come home today

You could come home today


[Part II]

[Intro: SZA, Isaiah Rashad & Both]

Dear God, make me a bird

So I can fly far, far, far away

Dear God, make me a bird

So I can fly far, far, far away

Dear God, make me a bird

So I can fly far, far, far away

Warm winds on a space ride (Space ride)

When I call your phone on a late night (Late night)

I recall your soul had a taste like (Taste like)

Gardens, flowers, warm winds


[Chorus: SZA & Isaiah Rashad]

The clouds below your feet

Quit clipping on your wings

Sometimes you hate to leave somebody

What's happening to we?

Warm winds on a space ride

When I call your phone on a late night

I recall your soul had a taste like

Gardens, flowers, warm winds

The clouds below your feet

Quit clipping on your wings

Sometimes you hate to leave somebody

What's happening to we?

Warm winds on a space ride


[Verse 1: SZA]

Sometimes I call your name out loud

Just to make sure it's you

Sometimes I crack my veins open

Just to see if it's blue

You clean me up

[Chorus: SZA, SZA & Isaiah Rashad]

The clouds below your feet (Clean)

Quit clipping on your wings (Our wings, yeah)

Sometimes you hate to leave somebody (You'll see)

What's happening to we?

Warm winds on a space ride

When I call your phone on a late night

I recall your soul had a taste like

Gardens, flowers, warm winds

The clouds below your feet

Quit clipping on your wings

Sometimes you hate to leave somebody

What's happening to we?

Warm winds on a space ride


[Verse 2: SZA]

Sometimes I bite my lips and close my eyes

Just to pretend it's you

Long live lonely thoughts on Thursday nights

That's when I think of you

We were all thirteen once (once)

Long live tramp stamps and Pepper Ann (Pepper Ann)

You will never judge me for that (Uh-uh)

You will always love me for that (Uh-huh)


[Outro: SZA]

Quit clipping on your wings

Sometimes you hate to leave somebody

Whats happening to we?

Warm winds on a space ride

When I call your phone on a late night

I recall your soul had taste like

Gardens, flowers
