Lyrics

The Answer

[Verse 1]

It was like slow-motion

When you walked into the room

It's like they're frozen

Just sit back, enjoy the view

If this the ocean

You're some undiscovered species

You save me from myself that night, believe me

[Chorus]

Had so many questions on my mind

Where the hell you been all of my life?

Straight out from the darkness to the light

You're the answer, you're the answer to the meaning of my life

You're the answer to the meaning of my life

[Verse 2]

I could paint a picture

Of every detail in your eyes

First time I lipsed ya

Whole world stopped going by

Rewrite the scripture

And call it my only weakness

I turned my shit around and now they're speechless

[Chorus]

Had so many questions on my mind

Where the hell you been all of my life?

Straight out from the darkness to the light

You're the answer, you're the answer to the meaning of my life

[Verse 3]

I know you'll miss me like cold crush

Don't we risk it like gold dust

Go the distance like Mo does

Do the opposite of what they told us

And I hope you notice I was hopeless

'Til I found you, readjust my focus

Hocus Pocus, you appeared like boom

Froze like a statue, whole room looking at you

[Chorus]

Had so many questions on my mind

Where the hell you been all of my life?

Straight out from the darkness to the light

You're the answer, you're the answer to the meaning of my life

You're the answer to the meaning of my life

[Outro]

I know you'll miss me like cold crush

Don't we risk it like gold dust

Go the distance like Mo does

Do the opposite of what they told us

I know you'll miss me like cold crush

Don't we risk it like gold dust

Go the distance like Mo does

Do the opposite of what they told us
