[Intro] Ah Ah, ah Ah Duh-nun-duh-nuh Duh-nun-duh-nuh Oh-ah Ah [Verse 1] Lift the shades Count the days Until your springtime showers me in its rays This home felt so complete You came and left and now it’s missing a piece It’s the allergies that make me shed these tears [Chorus] You left me blossoms in my room Kissed me deep and said see you soon Wet my lips with a drop of honey You put me into bloom Pollinate my days with your loving Plant our seed in my fated garden Yeah, this bed is still missing something But you left me flowers to smell [Post-Chorus] You left me daffodils Don’t let the jasmine wilt Carried way by the breeze You left me flowers to smell Half-asleep 'til you’re back By my side, to the last ‘Fore you take the spring with you 撒点茉莉花 (Translation: Scatter some jasmine flowers) [Verse 2] Miss your cadence And your grace Extend your stay, this fruit I need another taste This home felt so complete Now it’s missing a piece without you here Girl, you left me with these sunshowers between my ears [Chorus] You left me blossoms in my room Kissed me deep and said see you soon Wet my lips with a drop of honey
 You put me into bloom Pollinate my days with your loving Plant our seed in my fated garden Yeah, this bed is still missing something But you left me flowers to smell [Post-Chorus] You left me daffodils Don’t let the jasmine wilt Carried way by the breeze You left me flowers to smell Half-asleep 'til you’re back By my side, to the last ‘Fore you take the spring with you 撒点茉莉花 (Translation: Scatter some jasmine flowers) [Chorus] You left me blossoms in my room Kissed me deep and said see you soon Wet my lips with a drop of honey You put me into bloom Pollinate my days with your loving Plant our seed in my fated garden Can I be your giving tree? Baby, I blossom for you

Your Man 03:06
lyrics
[Intro] Could I be your man This simple romance Sway as we slow dance Savor the moment Oh Oh oh [Verse 1] Tell you my secrets, know where I stand Show me your demons, I’ll take their hands [Chorus] Could I be your man? In this palace of sand Be my reason to dance The best things, they do never tend to be planned We walk down 5th avenue You head west and I’m sure I’m right Only you wield the light, s’ faded from my eyes But you bring the child in me back to life Oh [Verse 2] You feel like a dream Don’t wake me from this scene Cause I can’t lose you again No, I won’t let the moon ascend My kitchen turn a disco We sway until the food burns How’s this thing we got Feel so grown-up Yet we’re laughing playing house [Chorus] Could I be your man? In this palace of sand Be my reason to dance The best things, they do never tend to be planned We walk down 5th avenue You head west and I’m sure I’m right Only you wield the light, s’ faded from my eyes But you bring the child in me back to life Oh

[Pre-Chorus] He be where she don't know, yeah She be where he don't know, yeah Beep beep, we east-西 coasting My dreams, I see me hold you He be where she don't know, yeah She be where he don't know, yeah We be where we can't go, yeah Can't be free like Ethiopia [Chorus] Yeah, you could lean on me for the time Could you be on me 'til we gone? You the VIP in my mind Girl, you cross All the lines You could lean on me for the night Could you be on me 'til the dawn? Watching Minari at the ides Can't untie All the ties [Verse 1] If I miss you, and you miss me Then why can't we be? And turn a new leaf? And plant some new seeds? Our tears in the breeze They dry like old wreaths Until the dead sea's just salt on our cheeks (The garden's all green) The garden's all green Your thoughts are all green My thoughts are all green, if you walking from me We both got big dreams I wish they shared scenes Or yours could fit me (Me, me) I miss you baby I wish we could find solace in maybe I miss the good times, the others pray keep We fix a few things, and shit is gucci Stop lying! That's all I know how to do for the time Maybe this 8-0-8-0-8 take this pain away Que lo que lo que, until you fade away [Pre-Chorus] He be where she don't know, yeah She be where he don't know, yeah Beep beep, we east-西 coasting My dreams, I see me hold you He be where she don't know, yeah She be where he don't know, yeah We be where we can't go, yeah Can't be free like Ethiopia [Chorus] Yeah, you could lean on me for the time Could you be on me 'til we gone? You the VIP in my mind Girl, you cross All the lines You could lean on me for the night Could you be on me 'til the dawn? Watching Minari at the ides Can't untie All the ties [Breakdown] Cheeks, cheeks (Cheeks) Salt on my ch-ch-cheeks, cheeks Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop (Pop, pop, pop, pop) Can you taste my ch-ch-ch-ch [Verse 2] (If I miss you and you miss me) (What else do we need?) (The fuck do we mean) (It'd be a tight squeeze in mine and your lives?) (They in the front seat?) (We along for the drive?) (They go where they please?) (Feels like bull, the changing of leaves in repeat) (Should have a say in our home this evening) (We led astray by all that preceding) Damn, this baby love only just start teething Three in time zone ain't three in feeling I thought that we deserved six seasons Syndicated our intimations Our vindications, you been evasive When it's raining, fills the basin, 'til we face it Couldn't save it, wish there stayed another way but here I'm swaying 'Til you fade away [Pre-Chorus] He be where she don't know, yeah She be where he don't know, yeah We be where we can't go, yeah Can't be free like Ethiopia [Chorus] Yeah, you could lean on me for the time (time) Could you be on me 'til we gone? (gone, gone, gone) You the VIP in my mind (on my mind) Girl, you cross All the lines (lines) You could lean on me for the night (night, night) Could you be on me 'til the dawn? (wake up!) Watching Minari at the ides Can't untie All the ties [Outro] Ba-dada-da-dadada (cheeks, ay, ay) Ba-dada-da-hah (can you taste my ch-ch-ch-ch-cheeks?) Ba-dada-da-hah La-haha-ha-ah-ah Tears on my cheeks Yeah, you could lean on me for the time Could you be on me 'til we gone? You the VIP in my mind Girl, you cross All the lines You could lean on me for the night Could you be on me 'til the dawn? Watching Minari at the ides Can't untie All the ties

Magnolia 03:01
lyrics
[Chorus] Magnolia, you evade my love Gin in my cup, can I please give up? [Verse 1] I been sinking into cynicism everyday And this spring of hope is drier than this chardonnay Still the ivory blossoms never cease to call on me Can you let me slumber six feet deep? This hope is my enemy And my only remedy My time is limited Gotta get this pedigree I’m who I pretend to be In my twisted fantasy Another springtime passes by [Chorus] Magnolia, you evade my love Gin in my cup, can I please give up? Slash, then sew me up, then prescribe me your drug This rum in my cup, its icy fingers tuck me in snug [Verse 2] No matter what i drink, I taste blood Instant karma for my smoking gun Power games, but I’ve had enough These flowers cannot bloom in my mud Blackened magnolia, strip for me Mobius I’m at my lowliest When i try to court luck Try to hoard us Is this what i deserve, oh [Chorus] Magnolia, you evade my love Gin in my cup, can I please give up Slash, then sew me up, then prescribe me your drug This rum in my cup, its icy fingers tuck me in snug [Outro] In the den of thieves Sentimentally Is it any surprise you’re Consumed by entropy And this centipede Passes you by
