Daddy went to law school and could’ve been an architect
Now he’s turning sixty and wonders where the big dream went
Tucker never said a lot, two eyes down, a little luck
Took it to the Ivys and never really knew for what
And I, I bite my tongue ten times a day
Half-swear to God I might just pray
And I got a lot to lose, so I might as well lose it anyway
And I, I manifested you would leave
So the day you did, I had you beat
Three steps ahead of everything, lately I wake up feeling like
Oh, where does the time go?
You never really know
Till you’re standing in the bathroom mirror like, “No”
Shit, we got so close
Hit me fast and slow
Funny thing about nostalgia
Didn’t show up till I lost ya, ooh
Didn’t show up till I lost ya, ooh
My ma wasn’t raised right, oh, no, all she ever knew was guilt
Little did she know that’s all her kids would ever grow to feel
And every choice leads back to that trait
Every time that I drink and heart that I break
It’s a truckload of regret and stupid mistakes
And man, lately I wake up feeling like
Oh, where does the time go?
You never really know
Till you’re standing in the bathroom mirror like, “No”
Shit, we got so close
Hit me fast and slow
Funny thing about nostalgia
Didn’t show up till I lost ya, ooh (When I lost ya)
Didn’t show up till I lost ya, ooh (When I lost ya, no)
Didn’t show up till I lost ya (Ooh)
It didn’t show up till I lost ya, ooh
And now I bite my tongue ten times a day
Half-swear to God I might just pray
And I got a lot to lose, so I might as well lose it anyway
And I, I manifested you would leave
So the day you did, I had you beat
Three steps ahead of everything
