lyrics

driving all night
just had a fight
talking never seems to make it feel alright
guess i'll just keep going till i'm gone oh i
wonder if you'll satisfy this appetite

ride or die
no not i
i never signed up for this shit no i
i'm getting bolder with these riffs oh i
i'm getting closer to this cliff oh i

[instrumental]

closer to this cliff oh i

rain oh rain
go away
won't you please come back for me another day
do not like it when my fears come out to play
just like when the feels they take a toll on me

maybe i should listen more
maybe i should kiss you more
didn't mean to ignore
thought i could distract you, sure
i'm just so used to running away
babe but for you i'm willing to stay still
be somewhat tranquil

hey you
apologise for everything i said to you
i pray you
forgive me all the wrongs that i did to you
even when i'm wondering
about what's going on within
i never seem to let it out
the same way that i let you in

parents named me cyn
so i been a born sinner,
wondering what it's like to be a damn winner
or a trophy wife, if i get lucky
i could live life twice
i could be nice but i like to be right
see that's the problem right there
this ego will be my demise
if i let it interfere

baby wanna be mo precise
yeah i like you
maybe we could go catch a bite
at a drive thru
let me be loud and clear
just wanna hold you near
we can start afresh from here
don't need to look to the rear
