[Verse 1]
You know I got matters to attend to
I can smell the candles from your bedroom
And I wish I didn't wanna take it personal
I wish I didn’t leave a smoke
[Verse 2]
And you ain't got curtains on your windows
And I don't see no photos of your kinfolk
And I wish didn’t know that you're available
I wish that I was capable
[Pre-Chorus]
Can't say no when you come to town
I savor every moment when you're not around
I just wish that you'd ghost me, smokescreen
But sometimes I get lonely, so please
If we do it gotta be low key
If I get too close you can put it on me
But when you get lonely, call me
I don't gotta land on both feet, always
[Chorus]
I can make a mistake or two
Nevеr myself when I think of you
Nevеr as well but I'll fake the truth
Keeping this up ain't nothing new
Baby, we can make a mistake or two
Never myself when I think of you
Never as well but we’ll fake the truth
Keeping this up ain’t nothing new
'Cuz I been
[Verse 3]
I know you got bi’ness to attend to
But I gotta couple records I could lend you
Ever since you told me I been on your mind
I ain't really have the time
Before you pour your liquor did you eat yet
Tell me somethin good tell me a secret
Keep the lights on with the curtains closed
Show me that you're capable
[Verse 4]
I don't think I’m you asking for too much
I just need some _ gimme goosebumps
I just need some _ without rumors
I just need some _ when I'm cooped up
[Verse 5]
I ain't selfish baby what do want
You just need some _ when the moons up
You just need some _ for your future
You just need to tell me what to do
[Pre-Chorus]
I can't say no when you come back home
I savor every moment that we're on the phone
I just wish you'd ghost me, smokescreen
Sometimes I get lonely, so please
If I don't text first it's cuz I can't think straight
But we can stay up if you leave by 8
And if we see the morning, smokescreen
You don't have to land on both feet, always
[Chorus]
I can make a mistake or two
Never myself when I think of you (Never myself)
Never as well but I'll fake the truth
Keeping this up ain't nothing new
Baby, we can make a mistake or two
Never myself when I think of you
Never as well but we'll fake the truth
Keeping this up ain't nothing new
Cuz' I been-
Shut the-
[Outro]
'Take or, take or, take or, take or
'take or two
Never myself when I think of you
Never as well but I'll fake the truth
Keeping this up ain't nothing new
Baby, we can make a mistake or two
Never myself when I think of you
