Sidetrack Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I dart
Off a plane
As if you’re holding up a card with my second name
For a start
Will you wait for me?
‘Cause the driver, insists
That if we're gonna duck the traffic then we take the bridge
So we do
Will you wait for me?
[Pre-Chorus]
When I think about it
Everything about it
That’s led me up your drive again
Saying I
Should be everything you want
[Chorus]
Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I’m feeling the backlash
[Verse 2]
You could try shifting blame
But it's like tryna talk to God and she’s forgot your name
You won't get through
Will you wait for me?
I dart
Off a plane
As if you’re holding up a card with my second name
For a start
Will you wait for me?
‘Cause the driver, insists
That if we're gonna duck the traffic then we take the bridge
So we do
Will you wait for me?
[Pre-Chorus]
When I think about it
Everything about it
That’s led me up your drive again
Saying I
Should be everything you want
[Chorus]
Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I’m feeling the backlash
[Verse 2]
You could try shifting blame
But it's like tryna talk to God and she’s forgot your name
You won't get through
Will you wait for me?
And the driver insisted
That we took the quickest route but God I’m not convinced
Now that’s through
I’m five away from you
[Pre-Chorus]
When I think about it
Everything about it
That’s led me up your drive again
Saying I
Should be everything you want
[Chorus]
Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I’m feeling the backlash
Of going mad at the prospect
Of you throwing love at me
And you not feeling the exact
Same feelings from me back
Yeah, fuck that
[Bridge]
For all I know I always tried to meet you A.S.A.P. Why?
Cause nothing’s ever good
Unless there’s something on the line
That we took the quickest route but God I’m not convinced
Now that’s through
I’m five away from you
[Pre-Chorus]
When I think about it
Everything about it
That’s led me up your drive again
Saying I
Should be everything you want
[Chorus]
Now I'm not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
Before I’m feeling the backlash
Of going mad at the prospect
Of you throwing love at me
And you not feeling the exact
Same feelings from me back
Yeah, fuck that
[Bridge]
For all I know I always tried to meet you A.S.A.P. Why?
Cause nothing’s ever good
Unless there’s something on the line
[Chorus]
And now I’m not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
And I’m not feeling the backlash
I still go mad at the prospect
Of you throwing love at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah fuck that
And now I’m not being sidetracked
By all that’s been asked of me
Yes I'll be needing that life back
And I’m not feeling the backlash
I still go mad at the prospect
Of you throwing love at me
And you're not feeling the exact
Same feelings for me back
Yeah fuck that
