[Chorus]
Coming to the end of this stalemate
Falling today
I don't feel the tension in my back
All that went away
Hold me like a thumb on your E string
Strung out, wide awake
I don't feel the tension in my back
All that went away
[Verse 1]
There's something 'bout the way you look at me
Towel and sheets don't last all week
My only subject the last fifty-two weeks
I only push back sometimes if I feel too weak
You know that part of me that likes you bad and boujee
I've always said I hate the love that's in the movies
It don't account for how you understand me truly
I fall apart whenever you pull up in your blue jeans
[Chorus]
Coming to the end of this stalemate
Falling today
I don't feel the tension in my back
All that went away
Hold me like a thumb on your E string
Strung out, wide awake
I don't feel the tension in my back
All that went away
[Verse 2]
It's a deep cut whenever we link up
You told your mama you were staying at Cynthia's
You got a ticket for not wearing your seatbelt
I dropped you off and then you told me to reach out
And I ain't usually someone to freak out
But I been thinking 'bout you for weeks now
You told your father you were staying at Bri's house
I got you whatever you need now
[Bridge]
Highways and Jaguars
These days I'm blacked out
I wasn't always built this loud
Subways and dive bars
Happy hours don't last forever
[Chorus]
Coming to the end of this stalemate
Falling today
I don't feel the tension in my back
All that went away
Hold me like a thumb on your E string
Strung out, wide awake
I don't feel the tension in my back
All that went away
