[Intro]
I can't hear a word you're sayin'
Are you alright?
[Verse 1]
I wish I knew it end like this, and maybe then I get the NY kiss
I never had it started out so different
She was taken, tokin' smoke out of a cigarette
Thought it was a hoax she offered blowback on a smoke
I'm thinkin' this could be a joke but I'm not gettin' it
Like, she's gorgeous, blonde, complexion flawless
Had her digits couple of days she told me, "Call us"
We'd been chattin' shit on the waves
And I just thought it was friendly
She had a dudе outta state
And I'm not tryna make enеmies
I'm just warmin' her extremities
I feel at ease at least, with her maybe it's meant to be
If everythin' is mean and heaven-sent and star-crossed and gazed
Guess at the end you have to hope you're happy how your sentence reads
Eyes locked on mine
Smoke there sat in her mouth, about time
I need to try to make up my mind
'Cause this liver's goin' straight to my wine, wait
[Chorus]
Yeah
I wish I knew it end like this and maybe then I get the NY kiss
Fuck it
[Verse 2]
I lean in, linger and then our lips meet
Only for a second, who's countin'? I mean I'm tipsy
May have only lasted a minute, but man it did seem
Steamier than windows at the drive-in, big screen
She told me times were tough
Used to hold me like a dime in the rough
Wild at heart was always pinin' to puff
She like my very own Shia Le Beouf, ugh
Like, lawless, well I guess the shoes fits
'Cause you were lickin' me like I was chicken finger food bits
Before you cut the fella loose, and truthfully, that's ruthless
But I was too busy courtin' Cupid, stupid
I left morals in the dark
A coral reef of colour in my heart
Guess I had if comin' given how I let it start
Now all I do is reminisce and spark
[Chorus]
I wish I knew it end like this and maybe then I get the NY kiss
Sayin'
I wish I knew it end like this and maybe then I get the NY kiss
Ah
[Verse 3]
Weeks lead to months
Cheek sweet to touch
Such a short time spent to feel I need you this much
It's fucked to feel I need you this much
And then I found out, you told me you were callin' it quits
But you'd been runnin' back to 'im each night that we split
And then it all kicked off, I'm jigsaws
Left to pick the pieces you pissed off and my dick soft
Said you're sorry, it's a once-off, but I'm doubtful
I bet you didn't seem apologetic with your mouth full
It's all tits up, sorry for the mix-up
Once I get the verse down, spark and get the kicks up
Seven deadly sins of a summer
Weed, drink, love, lust, kids under covers
Lies, greed, jealously, the heat seems to smoother
But when I play this back, I still don't see it comin'
That's the bummer
That's the bummer
[Chorus]
Yeah
I wish I knew it end like this and maybe then I get the NY kiss
Like, yeah
I wish I knew it end like this and maybe we'd end with one more kiss
I wish it didn't end like this, man
