Picket Fences

Wish I could shrink the world
And place it in your palm
'Cause I want to see you smile
My troubles feel so calm
Cause you got real estate inside my head
So why don't you come stay with me instead
And I finally got up out my fucking bed
Cause I hang on every word you ever said
And I'm out the streets for good this time, I swear
I'm happy where I stand, couldn't you tell?
And I'll give you my heart for us to share
Just promise to me that you will always be there
Cause I said this all before, and every time I end up
Being told that I'm doing too much or never enough
My world was flipped the day I fell in love
Shit... I gotta act like I been here before
Cause girl you make me 17 again
But that's the age I took my first L to the chin
Yet here you are digging your nails into my skin
These days it's getting harder to pretend

How much time we got to spend
Till we get to have our picket fence
Living room we turning on the Grinch
Fell in love ain't been the same since
How much time we got to spend
Till we get to have our picket fence
Can we fast forward till then?

Said you done carved every letter of your name into my psyche
Etched every detail of your face into my brain I swear that imma make you wifey
Just as long as you be true with me, it's spite me
It's a world full of violence, streets full with riots
But when you inside this home ain't gotta worry bout the fighting
Girl I'm Glad I made you like me
Hope that you like me

I ain't been inside a church in years
But I got everything I prayed for, it blew up in my face, so much hurt and tears
But I can't give up on myself that's so much worse than fear
Just let me get back on my feet I'll make it work from here
Not good at catching on to something when it first appears
You can't assume if you don't ever say a word it clear
I picked the worst career
But you still be so supportive damn I think I found my person here
I'm all yours baby,
Aim too high, they'll always fall short baby
Close to the goal like a small forward baby
You make me feel 100 feet tall, lord save me
Cause if I trip and fall, it's a long way down
The reason why I wanna let it all play out
They always in games I'm just all played out
Can't wait til I see you my fit is all laid out
I got a couple dollars to my name, some chips and a soda
I ain't think that I could ever get this chip off my shoulder
Heart so cold like it's sent from Minnesota
I'm drunk on you I take a sip then it's over
Fighting for you, may as well enlist I'm a soldier
Put my hand up in your hip then we dip, like I showed ya
We never the screen when we sit on the sofa
All I wanna do is kiss your lips like I'm 'posed to

How much time we gotta spend
Til we get to have our Pickett fence
Take me out the game to watch rent
I fell in love ain't been the same since
How much time we gotta spend
Til we get to have our Pickett fence
Can we fast forward til then

I said I'm all yours baby
The way you looking at me imma fall for it baby
Said you hard handle give me all your crazy
It ain't PG-13 I ain't Paul George baby
