Snoh Aalegra - TEMPORARY HIGHS IN THE VIOLET SKIES Album Lyrics

INDECISIVE

Birds fly
And I watch them go into the white sky
To escape the cold and I'm left behind
Yeah, I'm left behind (well)
Now the wind's blowing under the wing
But they always come back in the spring
When will you come back into my life?
Out of sight but you're not off my mind

(Well, well, well)
See I don't really care
Now I start to sound like you
Tell me why you're here? (Uh)
I don't get around like you, no (uh)

Now you got time, I don't got any
You should've thought about that while you was with me (uh)
You just go ahead and be with everybody
You should know by now I ain't just anybody
I don't really care
But I bet you wish I do
(Well, well, well)
But I bet you wish I would

See I don't really care (uh)
Really I'm too good for you
Let me make it clear (uh)
Everything is not about you, no (yeah)

Now you got time, I don't got any
You should've thought about that while you was with me (uh)
You just go ahead and be with everybody
You should know by now I ain't just anybody
I don't really care
But I bet you wish I would
(Well, well, well, well, well)

(Well, well)
(Well)
(Well)
(Well)

Part of me (well)
Wants part of you (well)
Now that's too much, baby (well)
Can't you see? I'm in my mind
But isn't that what you want, baby?
I'm so indecisive
But you make me like this
You the one I wanted (yeah)
This is just your set up (set up)
You want me to let up
You know I can do better
I can do better
Oh why?
Why, why am I like this?
Oh, why?
You know I can do better, oh

LOST YOU

Didn't know that love could change up
Then I woke up to a stranger
After all this time I thought that I knew
You and I was no debating
Now it's up for conversation
Tell me was it all a lie? I'm confused (mmm)

But then you say what I wanna hear
'Cause you know it's gon' get me here
Every time I say that I'm through
And even though I know it ain't right
Said I wasn't gon' spend the night
Here I am right back with you

Although I lost you
I, I'll always want you
'Cause you take me high (high)
See I'll always want you
But I know I've lost you

I won't hold the past against you
When you hold me I forget to
I can never draw the line with you, no
Wish I knew what you were thinking
But that probably wouldn't change shit
So deep in I'm still falling for you

But then you say what I wanna hear
'Cause you know it's gon' get me here
Every time I say that I'm through
And even though I know it ain't right
Said I wasn't gon' spend the night
Here I am right back with you

Although I lost you
I, I'll always want you (I'll always want you)
'Cause you take me high (high)
See I'll always want you
But I know I've lost you

IN YOUR EYES

Woo, woo, woo
Ayy, woo
Yeah, yeah

Some days are easier to fake it
I find it hard to think when you're brought up
I know it takes a heart to break it (yeah)
But you took that and some more when you gave up

I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
Some things don't work and that's the way love goes
I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
It's over now, but time will tell

If you seek you will find
What was there the whole time
Was love in disguise
In your eyes
If you seek you will find
What was there the whole time
Was love in disguise
In your eyes

There in your eyes (woo)
There in your eyes
(I get it, I get it, I get it, yeah)
There in your eyes
(I get it, I get it, I get it, yeah, woo)
There in your eyes
(I get it, I get it, I get it, yeah)

I needed you, but you went missing (yeah)
Told me you changed, but you kept losing touch
And somethings I wouldn't even mention
Just know I don't need your attention, no

I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
Some things don't work and that's the way love goes
I get it, I get it, I get it, I get it
It's over now, but time will tell

If you seek you will find
What was there the whole time
Was love in disguise
In your eyes (oh, yeah)
If you seek you will find
What was there the whole time (yeah, yeah)
Was love in disguise (was love)
In your eyes

There in your eyes (woo)
There in your eyes
(I get it, I get it, I get it, yeah)
There in your eyes
(I get it, I get it, I get it, yeah, woo)
There in your eyes
(I get it, I get it, I get it, yeah)

If you seek you will find (you will find)
What was there the whole time
Was love in disguise
In your eyes
If you seek you will find (oh, you will find)
What was there the whole time (oh)
Was love in disguise (it was love in disguise)
In your eyes

JUST LIKE THAT

From the moment that I met you
I just knew that you were something special (yeah)
Every day and after that
I knew that I finally found my treasure

Take me over
Take me over, nice and slow
Take me over (yeah)
Take me over, baby

Just like that
Need a love like that
Take me just like that
'Cause I like that
Ah-ooh, just like that
Need a love like that
Take me just like that

You can use me if you need me
Let your muse be your motivation (yeah)
Picture perfect like a painting
Let the colors say what we thinking

Take me over, nice and slow
Take me over (yeah)

Tell me, baby

Just like that
Need a love like that
Take me just like that
'Cause I like that

Say my name, say it like you know it
Take my breath from me when you go
'Cause I like that

Just like that (just like that, baby)
Need a love like that (love like that, baby)
Take me just like that
'Cause I like that (just like that)
Ah-ooh, just like that (just like that)

NEON PEACH

Yeah
You know that's right
Can you turn me up?
That shit crazy
Let 'em know
One, one, one

I don't even try to
Bring up and remind you
Of all the things that you have done
So put the past behind you
You're living in a lie too
The present time has had enough

It's the things that you do (do)
I know, we've gone too far (too far)
When I think about the things that we do (we do)
And you know, you've gone too far (too far)
If you think about the things that we do

Yo
Ah, girl, why you talking to him? (Huh?)
He ain't gon' bite, so you barking again
You got better shots but you blocking the rim (yeah)
But too scared to work it out 'cause you locked in the gym
I'll throw you the keys if you ride with the boy (ayy, yo)
I'll holla when I'm down at ya pad (I'm downstairs)
Hop in, we can drive to your joy (get outta here)
And peel off like the top of a scab
Listen

I'm not gonna try to (no)
Try to understand you (no)
Let's just say what's done is done (what's done is done)
So put the past behind you
You're living in a lie too
The present time has had enough

It's the things that you do (do)
I know we've gone too far (too far)
When I think about the things that we do (we do)
And you know, we've gone too far (too far)
If you think about the things that we do

I don't even care (I don't even care)
Because you know I won't be there (I won't be there)
Because you know you better work on you (on you)
You try so hard to be someone else
Not yourself

Yo, Snoh listen (yo)
Your boyfriend a clown
You looking like a birthday party (woo)
Loud as a motherf*cka, gifts all gaudy (woo)
And you gon' be hurt until he blurt, "I'm sorry" (yeah)
Tryna play it off, leaving with ya shirt all soggy (hey)
Drunk collar, me the Don Dada
Gyal come with, hit it off, piñata
Sweet as the guts, then you can sit on the steps
But make a choice
'Cause you 'bout to lose your spot on the jet (yeah, haha)

It's the things that you do
I know we've gone too far, yeah
When I think about the things that we do
And you know, you've gone too far, baby

On and on, I'm stuck
On and on (it's the things that we do), I'm stuck
On and on, I'm stuck (oh no)
On and on, I'm stuck (yeah)
On and on, I'm stuck
On and on
On and on (mm-hmm)
On and on

It's the things that you do
It's the things that we
It's the things that we do, oh (do, do)
It's the things that you do

WE DON'T HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT

You say you really wanna see me
You're only two miles away
All I see is FaceTime ringing
Guess you don't got time today
That's okay, that's cool
We don't have to talk about it
No, we don't have to talk about it

You say we in it for the long haul
I didn't even get to U-Haul
I didn't even get that far
We didn't even get that far
But we don't have to talk about it
No, no, we don't have to talk about it (hey)

I can't see
I can't see your past
Like the sun in the rain on a cloudy day
But I can feel
I can feel your pain
Was it something I said?
Was is something you said?
We don't have to talk about it, no
Said we don't have to talk about it (hey)

It's obvious that you ain't wanna
So you just run away
So how am I suppose to take it?
Guess you ain't got much to say, ayy
That's okay, that's cool
We don't have to talk about it
No, we don't have to talk about it

You say we in it for the long haul
I didn't even get to U-Haul
I didn't even get that far
We didn't even get that far
But we don't have to talk about it
No, no, we don't have to talk about it (hey)

I can't see
I can't see your past
Like the sun in the rain on a cloudy day
But I can feel
I can feel your pain
Was it something I said?
Was it something you said?
We don't have to talk about it, no (no)
Said we don't have to talk about it, say (hey)

TANGERINE DREAM

As we leave the gate
Please make sure that your seatbelt is fastened

So we fell off cloud nine
But then we met in the sky
I was sure I wouldn't see you again
After last night
What happens when we arrive?
Will you still have your pride?
What's the chances of us being
On the same flight?
I text, "Are you on the 12:40 New York bound?"
You said, "Yup"
Oh, you better turn around
One seat ahead and we were like, "Damn, how?"
Four hours in the air, you didn't make a sound
Touched ground, you said, "Snoh, I'll see you around"
But I wanna talk now
Told me that I'm such a f*cking singer
Man you're too loud
Can you lend that tounge, boy
Can you come down?
I went to claim my baggage
That's when you checked out

You were supposed to be my tangerine dream
My everything
It was all a fantasy, yeah
My tangerine dream

Do you remember our first date?
That juicy fruit that you wouldn't name
I loved your accent but you wouldn't say it
Became a game that we start to play
Led to our first kiss at that arcade, downtown LA
If anybody seen they would've made a scene
That's why only you know what I mean
When I say X plus Y is thirteen

After two-thousand miles, we're still where we were (yeah, yeah)
I tried to put it out but you let it burn (hey)
The other night I was somebody that you didn't know
Just 'cause I ain't text you back about a week ago
And after all that crazy shit that you said to me
How you find this personal?

You were supposed to be my tangerine dream
My everything (my everything)
It was all a fantasy
My tangerine dream
You were my tangerine dream
My everything
It was all a fantasy (it was all a fantasy)
My tangerine dream

(Tangerine dream)

TEMPORARY HIGHS

I'm falling out of comfort (comfort)
My friends, they not my friends
This life just makes me wonder
Are these temporary highs? (Highs)

Is it worth it? (mm-hmm)
Is it worth it?
Is it worth it?

I know I prayed for these moments (moments)
Chased after these moments (moments)
Are these temporary highs?
Highs
Highs

Is it worth it?
Is it worth it?

VIOLET SKIES

My world was all upside down
Wish I knew you'd come around
Wish I knew
If you say violet skies
Were right in front our eyes
I would doubt you

I've always been a worrier
But I'll always be a warrior
Took a little time to find my way
All those times that I was lonely
I was never alone
Through it all I would grow (yeah)
Wish I would've known

If I could go back in time (time)
I'll tell you get out your mind (mind, mind)
I'll tell you get out your head (head, head)
Everything's gonna be alright (alright)
Everything that you need will find you (find you)
I'm only here to remind you (remind you)
One day you'll get it right, oh, oh-oh (oh, oh)

My world was all upside down
Wish I knew you'd come around
Wish I knew
If you say violet skies
Were right in front our eyes
I would doubt you

I'm doing things to make it work
But quick to get my feelings hurt
Things don't come too easily my way, no, no
And all those times that I was lonely
I was never alone
I should've known, oh yeah

If I could go back in time (if I could go back I)
I'll tell you get out your mind (get out your mind)
I'll tell you get out your head (get out your head)
Everything's gonna be alright
Everything that you need will find you (everything that you need's gon' find you)
I'm only here to remind you (remind you)
One day you'll get it right, oh, oh-oh (oh, oh)

My world was all upside down
Wish I knew you'd come around
Wish I knew
If you say violet skies
Were right in front our eyes
I would doubt you

My world was all upside down
Wish I knew you'd come around
Wish I knew
If you say violet skies
Were right in front our eyes
I would doubt you

Do you mind if I try come apologize to you?
'Cause I said some things that I realized wasn't true
And I'm sorry for it (I'm sorry baby)
I'm emotional (you're emotional)
This is your fault (this ain't my fault)
Just listen when I say (girl, you trippin', man, you need to calm down)
I care about you (you don't care about me)
And I'd die for you (yeah, I'd die for you)
I take the blame (nah, don't take the blame)
Just hear me when I say (this is my fault as much as it's yours, c'mon)

I was in the moment
I ain't really mean what I said to you
So put away your pride, baby
We can work it out if you want this to
Okay

You don't have to talk at me
You can talk to me
I can hear very well
You can get your thoughts and your point across to me
And there's no need to yell
I know it's something that's under your skin
It feels like I can't win, baby

I'm sorry for it (I'm sorry for you)

But if I could stay, I'd stay with you

Yo, darlin' whatchu sayin'?
You be playin' 'round sayin' you ain't mean it, that's a fib
'Cause if you didn't mean it
You would never pull it out your bag of shit to hit me with
You be OD in your feelings, throw 'em at me
I don't catch all 'em
I just let 'em fall like the third quarter
Just admit to me that you're sorry

I was in the moment

(I'm sorry)
(I'm sorry)

ON MY MIND

It's been a minute
Oh, you know I miss you, not afraid to admit it
Said you needed time, but you know I wasn't with it
We both know more time just mean you f*cking more bitches
Now that's none of my business
In my emotions
Going through these photos, while I go through the motions
Going through these texts, so I can live in moments
Never having closure is the reason I'm open

Maybe I'm hoping
Times are different
That's not why you're distant
Tell me different

On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
I know I'm out
But somehow I'm still in it
Just know I feel a way
'Cause I know you still feel it
And in my mind
It ain't over, though it's over
Oh, no

It's been a minute, wait
I was gonna hit you but I'm glad I ain't send it
'Cause now I hear you talking shit about how we ended
Everything I said and done, you know that I meant it
Yes, you know that I meant it
Say what you won't say
'Cause I feel the same way
Say what you won't say
It doesn't matter anyways, no

Times are different
That's not why you're distant
Tell me different

On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
(I can't get it off my mind)
On my mind, on my mind
Can't get it off my mind
(I just feel you all the time)

I know I'm out
But somehow I'm still in it
Just know I feel a way
'Cause I know you still feel it
And in my mind
It ain't over, though it's over
No, no

If I could, then I would see you
Under water, I would breathe you
If I did not, I would still need you
If it was possible to be you
I would, girl, I would lead you
Away from all the evil, all these people
I would treat you like you're me too
Like I need you
Oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, ooh-woah, yeah
Need you, I really do
I really do (I really do)
Need you
I really do, yeah-yeah

TASTE

Time
I put some time aside for you
Mind
Busy on my mind, need you
No more blurring lines, you know what I like
When it comes to you
I let you decide, your place or mine
But it's overdue

And I can't wait to get a

Taste
It's late I got an appetite
Taste
I'm not tryna make you be mine
Taste
It just feels like one of those nights
Taste, taste

I ain't tryna be the one for you
But I need you to treat it like
It's the only one made for you
I got so many flavors you like
So go ahead and choose
All this anticipation is building
Leave it dripping all over you

And I can't wait to get a

Taste (taste)
It's late I got an appetite
Taste
I'm not tryna make you be mine
Taste
It just feels like one of those nights

EVERYTHING

See I love how your hands feel
Stroking my face like that, oh yes
See I love how, how your lips feel
Touching my skin
Don't have to force it
Don't have to be nobody else
'Cause I'm me with you
You make me forget about all the other shit
That I'm going through

You make me feel
How I should feel
With you I just have it all
'Cause you are
'Cause you are

Everything to me
Everything to me
You feel like everything I need
(Like everything now, wow)
You're my everything now

You make me fall so deep again
But I said I wasn't giving in (no, no)
But how could I possibly resist
When you are everything
Everything to me

Baby, don't slow down
'Cause I love how
You're taking me places in my mind
See I love my view from this side
It's my favorite location (oh, ooh-oh)
No one can make the day
Feel like a couple hours the way you do
I know forever wouldn't give me
Enough time to spend with you

'Cause you make me feel
How I should feel
With you I just have it all
'Cause you are
'Cause you are

Everything to me (everything to me)
Everything to me (yeah, yeah, yeah)
You feel like everything I need

Yeah, yeah
You are, you are everything (ooh baby, yeah)
You are, you are
You are everything

DYING 4 YOUR LOVE

Ooh, oh
Ooh, oh
Mm

Tell me how are we supposed to still be talkin' every day
When everything between us just completely changed? Oh, why?
And tell me how am I supposed to go ahead and just erase
Every feelin', every memory we shared? Oh, why?

'Cause I was dyin' for this love, this love
Yeah, I was dyin' for your love, your love

So tell me, baby, do you want me like I want you?

Yeah, I was dyin' for your love, your love

So tell me, baby, do you want me like I want you?

Some nights I even think about if I should call you
'Cause I thought you were the one

So tell me how, how could you tell me that you love me by mistake?
Intoxicated via text, ain't you ashamed? That's so wild
So how can I believe or trust in anything that you say
When you so easily regret it the next day? See, that ain't right

'Cause I was dyin' for this love, this love
Yeah, I was dyin' for your love, your love

So tell me, baby, do you want me like I want you?

Yeah, I was dyin' for your love, your love

So tell me, baby, do you want me like I want you?

Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, whoa
Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh, whoa

I know nobody's perfect and we are the way we are
But you know I don't deserve it and I waited way too long

'Cause I was dyin' for this love, this love
Yeah, I been dyin' for your love, your love

SAVE YOURSELF

You may not believe me
No, I didn't tell you
I will always love you
But just know I'm good without you

You may not believe me
No, I didn't tell you
I will always love you
But just know I'm good without you

I hope you find what you're looking for
I hope you find it and way much more
This ain't the first, I've been here before
Just go ahead and save yourself
All I ever wanted was everything
Now I gotta unlearn everything
But I let it slide (let it slide)
No, oh-oh, oh-oh-oh

(Judging by the tone
Of your voice on the phone
I knew you wasn't too well)

No, I didn't tell you
I will always love you
But just know I'm good without you
Just go ahead and save yourself

You may not believe me
No, I didn't tell you (no, I didn't tell you)
I will always love you (I will always love you)
But just know I'm good without you
Just go ahead and save yourself

You may not believe me

I will always love you
But just know I'm good without you
Just go ahead and save yourself (you may not believe me)
