​back in highschool (dreams of california pt. 2)

[Intro]
Reminiscin' to the first time that I seen you, baby
Yeah

[Verse 1]
Reminiscin' to the first time that I seen you, baby
I was someone I am not, just wish I woulda kept you, baby
Scratchin' bottles, now they empty on my dresser, baby
Even if you try, don't think that no one in this world could save me
Yeah, I'm by the beach
Soakin' up the sunshine, all my dreams, they out of reach
Yay (Uh), I'm seventeen
I can't rewind, no, cannot hide my energy, damn

[Chorus]
Out here on the other side
The sky's my pain, it's my disguise
Look me straight into my eyes and tell me it's gon' be alright
Hangin' out the window, shawty
Cigarettes and drinkin' forties
Sniffin' cocaine with my homies
Do what makes us feel important
(Feel inside, somebody die young)
(There's a slim chance that you're the one)

[Verse 2]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I never could escape you and I don't know how to face it, baby
By the way, I'm twenty-three now and it drive me crazy
I wait on you, I never move on, that's the issue, baby
Seekin' solace in this world that only God created
Reassure my state of mind, let's focus on the fact I made it
I coulda died, but that's the shit that happens
All you care 'bout's gettin' high (Damn)

[Chorus]
Out here on the other side
The sky's my pain, it's my disguise
Look me straight into my eyes and tell me it's gon' be alright
Hangin' out the window, shawty
Cigarettes and drinkin' forties
Sniffin' cocaine with my homies
Do what makes us feel important
(Feel inside, somebody die young)
(There's a slim chance that you're the one)

[Bridge]
I never could escape you (No, no, no)
I wish that I could hate you (I wish)
Instead, I just forgave you (Forgave)
Still wrote me off like I'm disgraceful

[Outro]
Reminiscin' to the first time that I seen you, baby
I was someone I am not, just wish I woulda kept you, baby
Scratchin' bottles, now they empty on my dresser, baby
Even if you try, don't think that no one in this world could save me
Yeah, I'm by the beach
Soakin' up the sunshine, all my dreams, they out of reach
Yay, I'm seventeen
I can't rewind, no, cannot hide my energy
