Our Time - clipping., Nailah Middleton

Cold winter

Sittin' on the table, cold dinner

Wine gone but the lipstick mark on the glass let him know you had more than a

Casual acquaintance

With whoever you had left with at 2:15 in the PM

Plus you been ignoring all his DMs

And the last text that you left said you’ll see him on the weekend

«Oh, you talk about love like you mean it,» he sings to himself

But no, that’s a man and he just got to see it, babe

You pay no attention to the way the blinds seem to move when there isn’t a wind

Or the silence you get when you answer blocked numbers

You already know that it’s him

Underwear on the floor, girl

Lead him right to the door, girl

And that necklace he gave you that you said you loved

Was all tangled and tore

And his world was too cause his world was you

When you tryin' to fight another world war

What the fuck did you expect a man to do?

Swallow it all, did you swallow it too?

He wonders and wallows and waits in the closet

There’s something about you, you got me

I don’t know about you without me

It’s gotta be me and you forever, love

It’s our time

Come here babe, come here babe, come here babe

It’s gotta be me and you forever, love

Now come here babe, come here babe, come here babe

It’s our time

Hot summer

At the payphone for the blocked number

She walked there fast cause she know you would always answer

Unless you was gettin' some ass

Fuckin' cute little laugh at the end of your outgoing message

As if nothing matters at all while she over here stressing to death

Does she have bigger breasts or just give better head?

«Oh, you talk about love like you mean it,» she sings to herself

But no, she a woman and when something changes she see it, babe

Tell the next one you with not to trip off the rips

In the tires or that thing might want to block certain numbers

Cause sooner or later you know she gon open the satellites

She stops by the window of the Walgreens

Her mascara a mess of a mask

Gonna pull out a tissue but instead pulls out a phone for a text

And the flask rattles round in the purse

A reminder that medicine is already there for the taking

And the snap when she twists the cap back

She’s convinced is the sound of her heart breaking

Every night you’ve got me dreamin'

Don’t wanna wake up without you

Sleep don’t come easy for me, this is your time

Every day I wait for sundown

Hopin' that you might come back round

Just turn around I am waiting there for your lie

There’s something about you, you got me

I don’t know about you without me

It’s gotta be me and you forever, love

It’s our time

Come here babe, come here babe, come here babe

It’s gotta be me and you forever, love

Now, come here babe, come here babe, come here babe

It’s our time

There’s something about you, you got me

I don’t know about you without me

It’s gotta be me and you forever, love

It’s our time

Come here babe, come here babe, come here babe

Come here babe

Come here babe, yeah, come here babe, come here babe

It’s our time
