Empty Handed

Would you please sit there and remind me just how much you love me
Describe my qualities that suited you and made me lucky
You Getting ready to set your yeti down on the cubby
Time to Set it off get your head involved push down the button
Your head bopping like it was your favorite song
Motivation strikes every time you play since you've been gone
And I promise it won't take me long to go and move on to my prolonged misadventures
That take me back to relive that night of prom
Extracting pros from cons
Dimmed my love for old flames
You hate to see my progress
But really you're the one who's changed
Telling me how he was dead to you but that don't really help your case
Mirror to your face, eyebrows raise, then you regret the choice you made
A couple years later you still would consider me a player
Sounds better on paper but I promise I'm more than just a layer
How does one human carry more salt than all of the Himalayas
Even After all this mess
I still can't escape her

I recollected
All things that I put into perspective
Never ended
Phone calls from our poor connection
Pure affection
Even from the love that I never lended
But somehow someway
We do the right thing in the wrong way
On the 3rd strike
It's called foul play
If there's nothing to bet on
Then don't place parlay
We can settle this over dinner
You say "mhmm probably"
You know I never press
When you getting dressed
Legs in nets
Like you play in Barclay
Center of attention if I had to mention
You've come a long way
For those who would've never guessed it
As I sit down for the lecture
I know won't have the next turn
The pressure exerts from my tempo makes my head hurt
So I had to exit
Out the back and look over the balcony
The chemistry was never there
Even though we knew alchemy
Nod at your apology
Not at your analogy
Only to get mad at me
Really makes leaving that easy

Yeah
And I'm gone
