Ollie Joseph
A Lonely Fall
[Verse 1]
9AM, drink in hand
You looking out at the mountains
Looks better than what you taking in
Wish I was cool with the thought of us staying friends
But my sleeve beating and I
Never been the type to play pretend
The aroma of love in the air’s my favorite scent
To me it smells sweet, for you it came and went
Why am I chasing when, I know exactly how this chase will end
Falling with my back greeted gently by a serrated edge
Damn, shake my head
I opened up for you in hopes that I'd become your main event
Stupid of me to think, my intеlligence had to manage
Causе sometimes I fall knowing exactly how to keep my balance
Maybe you’re so naive, maybe you’re that stupid
I’ve been dropping a ton hints, still you be acting clueless
A couple months in and its lacking movement
But now’s my time to act, girl I have to do this
Yeah
[Chorus]
Sorry to cut you off, but I
Gotta get something off my chest, yeah
I see you as my best friend
Plus the one who I wanna give all my attention to
You checkin all the boxes
I’ll take your baggage, all your problems
Need you to want me, cause them four letters growing
And I’m not seeing anyone tryna stop me
[Verse 2]
And I kept that all to myself
This moment’s too good to ruin, I got you all to myself
Rarely do we get time, shit’s crazy back where we live
I like this, the elevation and your voice in wind
Got me showing all the symptoms of a stage four swoon
And I, I know it’s serious cause my schedule is busier
Than ever, but for you I’m down to make more room
Fast forward a couple years I’m tryna make more you’s
Bet if I spill the beans on how I feel and think
You’d say the timings bad to mask the fact
That you don’t feel he same
It’d be quicker to slash a wrist, portraying a masochist
My guard was up, but I met you and threw the shield away
You probably healing form your past love
But I need you to heal today
My need for someone else makes me feel ashamed
Them thoughts deeper than the voids that I need filled
You been talking this whole time unaware of what I believe’s real
[Chorus]
Sorry to cut you off, but I
Gotta get something off my chest, yeah
I see you as my best friend
Plus the one who I wanna give all my attention to
You checkin all the boxes
I’ll take your baggage, all your problems
Need you to want me, cause them four letters growing
And I’m not seeing anyone tryna stop me
