Lyrics

In Grey

[Verse 1: Lil Yachty & Justine Skye]

They say I love too deep right away

But if I try, I can't subside again

If I fall on Valentine's, pick me up before then

Drift through time, let the time wind

Breeze of ease, in Sun's way

A second to think within

Then lift up into the light (Oh, oh)

Livin' in gray

[Break: Justine Skye]

(Oh, oh)

[Verse 2: James Blake & Justine Skye]

If you don't know where you're goin' at midnight

Trouble, find me

If it's not clear I'm next on the list, don't write 'em back and back

Find me (Oh, oh), trouble, find me

[Break: Justine Skye]

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

[Verse 3: James Blake & Justine Skye]

If everyone behaved just like me (Oh, oh)

We'd all be lonely (Oh, oh)

Lost and likе me

Nothin' comes easily whеn you try to cry (Oh, oh)

It's a nightmare, love's a nightmare

[Break: James Blake, Lil Yachty & Justine Skye]

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh)

(Oh, oh) Oh, oh

Oh, oh, I wanna fall

Oh, oh, I wanna fall

Livin' in grey, mm

Mm, mm, mm, mm

Mm, mm, mm, mm

[Outro: Lil Yachty]

If I fall on Valentine's, pick me up before then

Livin' in gray (Mm, mm, mm, mm)

A second to think within

Then lift up into the light

Livin' in gray
