[Verse 1]
Looks like I lost my favorite times
See, you've been on the mind
I've been seeing grey lights
Caught inside your grey lines
Let me talk to you in straight lines
[Refrain]
And keep a space for me (Space for me)
Give you what you need (What you need)
I'm here on my knees (On my knees)
Baby, please believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Know that I'm no better
I'm just in the mood
So, compromise
I know you're out of effort
He ain't keeping you
So, for tonight
[Chorus]
I'll pine for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
Making sure I'm right for you
So, for tonight (I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
I'll pinе for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your timе)
Making sure I'm right for you
So, for tonight (I could pine for you)
[Verse 2]
Looks like I fell to my demise
Green took out your eyes
But I can't say I doubt it
You act so astounded when I found it, hey
[Refrain]
And keep a space for me (Space for me)
Give you what you need (What you need)
I'm here on my knees (On my knees)
Baby, please believe
[Pre-Chorus]
Know that I'm no better
I'm just in the mood
So, compromise
I know you're out of effort
He ain't keeping you
So, for tonight
[Chorus]
I'll pine for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
Making sure I'm right for you
So, for tonight (I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
I'll pine for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
Making sure I'm right for you
So, for tonight (I could pine for you)
[Pre-Chorus]
Know that I'm no better
I'm just in the mood
So, compromise
I know you're out of effort
He ain't keeping you
So, for tonight
[Chorus]
I'll pine for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
Right for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
Pine for you
(I could pine for you, don't let him waste your time)
Right for you
(I'll pine for you)

I’d say the biggest driver for me writing “Pine” was hearing Terrys’ (Little Star Terry) style of production and the bounce he brought. I immediately was taken to a roller rink or party in the early 2000s/late 90s, Roll Bounce type vibes. So I hope you can feel that kind of nostalgia too.
I really...
“Pine” was hard for me to find an influence because I don’t listen to too much R&B, but it really was just me drawing on what I grew up on personally, which was a lot of MJ. And, “Butterflies” was always one of my favourites.
