"This is really good for the very short amount of time it took to write and record it" really ain't worth a bag of chips, is it? But yeah, that's kinda how I feel. Been listening to a lot of Dap Kings this week, and I took this one in a more JB-ish direction. Could be the bones of something a little more sturdier, down the line.
lyrics
turned around in the looking glass
You took it slow, but I needed fast
You could feel that I wanted more
But you shut that steel door
I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
What comes around, it goes
Gone the flow, flown the night flight
Face-to-face, beyond disgrace
I don’t need your two-sided face
To tell me why
Why I gotta leave this place
Why I gotta go
You had your chance to make
The diamonds all shine
But somehow, somehow …
You walked away, back when you
Knew how I burned
Not then, not now
And now you’re back with a new excuse
Confused a ribbon with the hangman’s noose
You say you really wanna tie this down
But this train has left the town
And you gotta know
Oh, you gotta go
What comes around, it goes
Gone the flow, flown the night flight
Face-to-face, beyond disgrace
I don’t need your two-sided face
To tell me why
Why I gotta leave this place
Why I gotta go
You had your chance to make
The diamonds all shine
But somehow, somehow …
You walked away, back when you
Knew how I burned
Not then, not now
