one moment... Lyrics

I've been stuck on one moment, who knew she could freeze time

She could sing so sweetly, had me wishing I could rewind

Late nights with the lights off, I would throw that record on

Hoping for a lullaby, but dreaming of a better song

I hear broken melodies in messages sent

She was quick to tell me that my desperate attempts

In every separate DM were from the mind of a child's

So now my methods to vent, I keep confined inside files

I guess I'm stuck up on the fact that we were fine for a while

Cause with the biggest of shadows, I saw the brightest of smiles

So many parts of her were wholesome

And I was clumsy in love, until I broke some

She was always picking me up cause I was so dumb

Walking across a tight rope, held her high in my left hand

Waving down with my right one, smiling at the passerbys

Screaming up tryna ask her why she'd put up with a fuck-up

Who'd risk her life for a decent high

She couldn't give them a reason why

I think I'm losing my head searching for peace of mind

I've heard the eye of the storm withholds a peaceful sky

But what comes after that?

And what about the aftermath?

Like I ain't even there yet

I'm kinda scared that I won't find something better

And therefore, I guess I've peaked

I was above the clouds, and now I've dipped underneath

Yeah, I've been under the weather

I stare up in disbelief

It's really over

Like moving on, nice to know ya

Enough to fill a song or a poem

Had the earth in my palm

And I'm forced now to ponder

A world that's beyond you

You're really gone

Yeah it's over

Moving on, nice to know ya

Enough to fill a notebook or a folder

I'm on my computer with no head upon my shoulders

You would tell me get a grip. You would say I need to grow up

Think I owe ya one

I've been stuck on one moment, who knew she could freeze time

She could sing so sweetly, had me wishing I could rewind

Late nights with the lights off, I would throw that record on

Hoping for a lullaby, but dreaming of a better song

I've been stuck on one moment, who knew she could freeze time

She could sing so sweetly, had me wishing I could rewind

Thinking I should swing by, steady on the decline

Living in the past is kinda taxing on a free mind

Heard you're doing well

Well, cool, I can really tell

Got your own pool, prolly fit a whale

Like that is so cool, you were right to dip

Like I told you, you could never fail

You could pursue anything and win

You could never lose, til you lose your temp

Or when it's fall and we lose our minds again

I think we share that. Part of us simply leaves

When leaves lose their green, and God, it's harder to breathe

When caught in a cooler breeze

Well, I can't really complain

So thanks for the memories

Of sleeping under a bridge with nobody next to me

Because she would treat my chest like a bed

And now that grips around my neck, that's where she nestled her head

She was so skin and bones, don't fit her clothes

But I don't think she'd look wrong in a throne, I think she knows

And that sucks cause I belong in a home

Where there's no laundry that's done

And all the dishes pile up

And it's too dull to have fun

Yeah I belong in a home that I ain't leaving enough

And on the days that I eat, it isn't seasoned enough

And you belong in a home, where there is peace and a love

That undertones every single thing around you

Though you're gone, I am happy that I found you

Though you're gone, I am happy that I found you

But you're really gone yeah it's over

Moving on, nice to know ya

Enough to feel I've lost all I've known

Had the earth in my palm

And I'm forced now to ponder

A world that's beyond you

You're really gone

Yeah it's over

Moving on, nice to know ya

Enough to wanna never love another

From the dinners with your mother, and the living room we lived in at your brothers

To the background music underneath the covers

We were smothered in

I've been stuck on one moment, who knew she could freeze time

She could sing so sweetly, had me wishing I could rewind

Late nights with the lights off, I would throw that record on

Hoping for a lullaby, but dreaming of a better song

I've been stuck on one moment
