[intro]
Aye, what we do?
[verse 1]
Up till four
Four in the morning
It’s easier to breathe
When you lay with me
Exchanging soul matter
Hella late, hella late
At heaven’s gate, heaven’s gateway
[Pre-Chorus]
Past try-outs they mean nothing
They never made the team
Never told you
I never showed you
Yet you just knew how to love me
[Chorus]
You knew how to love me
[Verse 2]
Familiar
But I swear I never had anything like this
You’re who I always dreamed of
You can’t blame me for fearing
This could be too great to be real
And I was afraid to lose myself
But you showed me
Yeah, you showed me
That it was safe to just jump right in
[Pre-Chorus]
Past try-outs they mean nothing
When you finally found your team
Never told you
I never showed you
Yet you just knew how to love me
[Chorus]
You knew how to love me
[Bridge]
And I know myself deeper now
Through loving you
I see the world clearer
Cuz I stood next to you
I know my path and
We fit right into it all
And you just knew how to love me
I pray that I’ll be with you
If it ever goes down
I pray that I’ll be with you
When it all goes up for you
I know that I’ll be with you
When we go to see God
I hope that we’ll always remember us
I hope we’ll always remember our love
I hope we never forget every moment between us
[Verse 3]
You god me
Unfolded
And truly free
I thank you
M.Y. love showed me One
And how it’s all still me
For what it’s worth
I keep you in my prayers
Even as we’ve both moved on
I pray that what we learned helps us
Love more
On our own
And above everything
If nothing else hits home
I pray that
I believe that
I hope that, yes..
I hope we’ll always remember
