Together Sad

[Verse 1]

Accolade obsession, the ends became the means

How can we be present? We don't make for make-believe

We make to make a dream, we make to make it seem

I wanna make for love, want us to make a team

'Cause I could write a song with my eyes closed

But once I know the notes, I hide behind those, yeah

You evеr wonder where thе time goes?

I ain't tryna wonder where my prime go

Just a couple weeks ago, our lovin' felt aligned, though

But now I'm chiselin' off the marble of our quarrels

Stressed, tryna make a statue of what I know

Intuition blindfolded, vision's blind focus, scripts that I've broken

How you know when a good thing's over?

I used to love New York, but the cash took culture

We used to love for sport, now our pasts took hold us

Made us want different futures, now the path's all broken

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm waitin' on you to grow

You waitin' on me to change

It's all up in the air

But I can't breathe in shame

[Chorus]

Let us be sad together, baby

Let us detach the pressure, baby

Look at how bad the weather lately

Let us be sad together, baby

Let us relax the effort maybe

Lovin' you past the pleasure, baby

[Verse 2]

I'm scared to build a home with you

Every home I've known held me back from walkin' on my own

And I'm scared if we keep goin', one day, I'ma feel alone with you

Got this preemptive claustrophobia

So maybe I don't gotta change, just grow more

Maybe the closer I get to the pain, I'll know more

Always baffled me how you so sure

But maybe I just got it backwards and you grown more

I trigger you, you trigger me, we snapping

Hard not to be sad when we trigger-happy

City collapsing, I barely know it

You the only neighborhood I grow in

So I would be sad with you just to be with you, shit

We worked roads of our trauma, bonded, used it as a vehicle

Shit ain't cheap, fickle, we met by chance

But gon' leave by fate, if I'm the best I can be, I will

[Pre-Chorus]

I'm waitin' on you to grow

You waitin' on me to change

It's all up in the air

But I can't breathe in shame

[Chorus]

Let us be sad together, baby

Let us detach the pressure, baby

Look at how bad the weather lately

Let us be sad together, baby

Let us relax the effort maybe

Lovin' you past the pleasure, baby

[Outro]

I'm waitin' on you to grow

You waitin' on me to change

It's all up in the air

But I can't breathe in shame
