Purity Culture By-product Lyrics

I used to be searching for the person not certain with whom I'd spend my life

(Oh god, I'm so lonely)

Yeah, I was working and flirting like it was urgent to find my future wife

(Uh, yeah, I'd say I'm ready for commitment)

If I could make a pretty Christian girl laugh,

I thought all I had to do was ask, I knew

She must want me really bad, I learned

I was really wrong about that, so, sadly

I had to change my strategy dramatically to avoid the agony of defeat maybe macdaddery required more flattery than a joke factory

And confident speech.

(do you know who I am)

Maybe I should slow it down and take a step back

Maybe all I need to do is grow a mustache

Maybe, just maybe, I'm trying too hard

Maybe I need to stop reaching for the stars

They say "do not awaken love before it's time"

But how will I know when my time has come

Will it be like Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight

Or will it take time, will it take time

They say "do not awaken love before it's time"

But how will I know when my time has come

Will it be like Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight

Or will it take time, will it take time

Okay, so I guess I'm gonna sing another verse about how lonely I am again

Cause I'm still lonely, yeah

I'm praying for patience because I hate the way I'm thinking, but it seems like I'll always deal with this. Cause every girl that looks at me or taps my knee accidentally has got me imagining our kids

This is ridiculous, this fictitious perspective

Destructive to hetero relationships

Split friendships, trying to make them romantic

And now I'm stuck with loneliness

Come on God help me, grow me a bone literally

Like Adam and Eve, you can take my rib from me

I'll pretend to sleep so you can do surgery

I won't even peek, just bring my girl to me

Nah but seriously, I'm done with this tomfoolery

God help me stop being so dumb

It's just so hard not to wonder as I wait for my lover 'cause I long to belong to someone

They say "do not awaken love before it's time"

But how will I know when my time has come

Will it be like Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight

Or will it take time, will it take time

They say "do not awaken love before it's time"

But how will I know when my time has come

Will it be like Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight

Or will it take time, will it take time

I'm tired of looking, I'm tired of waiting

I'm tired of everyone telling me just to chill out

Like I need to learn patience

I've learned my lesson, I'm 26 now

Here's my confession, I'm ready for vows

I want affection, two kids and a spouse

But I really need to slow down

When the sound of my heart pounds

And I found that it's hard now to bounce out

When my heart gets loud

Like when the opposite sex laughed at my line

I wasn't correct when I picked up a vibe

I thought we connected until she said "bye"

And then she just left before I could reply

And it seems like it always goes like this

I want a miss to become my misses

I want kids, not just kisses

Maybe they're foolish wishes, God I need a reboot

Help me seek you, help me lean into your love, help me EQ

Oh hey she's cute, no way, regroup

But what if she likes me too

They say "do not awaken love before it's time"

But how will I know when my time has come

Will it be like Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight

Or will it take time, will it take time

They say "do not awaken love before it's time"

But how will I know when my time has come

Will it be like Romeo and Juliet, love at first sight

Or will it take time, will it take time.
