Why you never awake
I can’t even think of nothin’ clever to say
Starin’ at you got me thinkin’ ‘bout forever today, yeah
Forever today
So pretty when you sleep but
Why you never awake
I can’t even think of nothin’ clever to say
Starin’ at you got me thinkin’ ‘bout forever today, yeah
Forever today
Baby you can sleep in
Ain’t no worries ‘bout the weather in May
Yo body curvature done got me nervous I pace
When you ain’t callin’ back
You traveled several states to give me all of that
Promise I’m grateful, never forget to thank you
Love how ya breath minty when you rockin’ Fenty
It’s the little things, I’m pullin’ them little strings
On the side of yo bottoms, don’t be worried, I got ‘em
The lights goin’ low and you movin’ yo body slow
Hol’ up
This ain’t a song about the night
I’m lookin’ at you at 9:47 am
Mouth slightly open, lookin’ like an angel again
Overcast, lookin’ like it’s gon’ be rainin’ again
Know you kinda like me, yo habits betrayin’ yo whims
And buildin’ on it like you playin’ The Sims
I just layer these stems, don’t be thinkin’ I’m for play or pretend
I’m tryna add another name on the end
First you gotta get yo ass up
Why you never awake
I can’t even think of nothin’ clever to say
Starin’ at you got me thinkin’ ‘bout forever today, yeah
Forever today
So pretty when you sleep but
Why you never awake
I can’t even think of nothin’ clever to say
Starin’ at you got me thinkin’ ‘bout forever today, yeah
Forever today
You be talkin’ in yo sleep
Weavin’ together hypotheticals expectin’ me
To answer for it for real
It’s endearing but still
I be worried and slightly shook in the moment
Wonderin’ if you just dream what you feel
If this got you kinda insecure and thrown off-balance
Due to yo prior loves
I’m tryna handle you with fire gloves
Girl if you desire hugs, hit me at work
Got an entire flood, I’m prioritizin’ yo trust
When I was ridin’ the bus
You was focused on the man I was becomin’
Instead of the one I felt like
Man, I coulda knelt right then
You knew I had to get myself right then
I could re-focus on all the trivial things
That’s still important like
Listenin’ with intent, being the supportive type
Lookin’ for your heart in the moments
You draw the sword to fight
10:33 in the mornin’, you rollin’ over
Imma let you have a moment of peace
We got forever to speak, but
Why you never awake
I can’t even think of nothin’ clever to say
Starin’ at you got me thinkin’ ‘bout forever today, yeah
Forever today
So pretty when you sleep but
Why you never awake
I can’t even think of nothin’ clever to say
Starin’ at you got me thinkin’ ‘bout forever today, yeah
Forever today
